Save the scientists of the mysterious Barclay Institute or watch it all burn from your security booth
It’s time to start your shift as the newest night security guard at The Barclay Institute in Interference: Dead Air now on Steam. What starts as a quiet night of watching security cameras, completing your word search, and having some microwave noodles, quickly turns to chaos in this sci-fi narrative thriller from Fear of Corn and V Publishing.
In the middle of nowhere in a quiet southwest town sits the mysterious Barclay Institute. A research facility for…well, no one is sure exactly. What starts as a usual night in the low-paying job of night security guard quickly goes awry when the facility is overrun by enemies. Armed with only a two-way radio for communication, a pinboard map of the facility, and an archaic computer, it’s up to players to decide if they want to help the scientists inside escape, including their best friend, or ignore the cries for help and pop another movie into the VCR.
Juggling radio conversations, tracking movement on the pin board, and rerouting power when and where necessary will be key to getting everyone out safely. If you choose to switch off your radio and sit back, you may want to close the blinds and ignore the explosions off in the distance.
Whether you choose to save everyone or goof off, Interference’s branching narrative is designed to give a different experience with every playthrough. Experiment, explore, and discover multiple endings with dozens of variations, all while listening to a collection of 80’s inspired synth jams on your FM radio.
Players can start their shift as the new night security guard in Interference: Dead Air now on Steam for $14.99 with a 10% launch discount. Players can meet their fellow night security guards by joining the official Discord here.
