✦ AI summary

Antenna is a short, atmospheric puzzle game with a creepy concept centered around tuning radio frequencies, offering a unique and engaging experience that most players find worth trying since it's free to play. Praise focuses on its atmospheric sound design and clever puzzles, though complaints center on poor keyboard support for non-English layouts, loud and unpleasant audio quality, unclear instructions, and difficulty spikes that often require guides to progress.

Antenna is one of those games I didn’t expect much from, but I ended up having a genuinely good time with it. It’s simple, fun, and easy to get into, and the fact that it’s free to play on Steam makes it even easier to recommend. Definitely worth giving it a shot.

The game seems built for USA or UK English keyboards, and it was a hassle to adjust for a Norwegian QWERTY keyboard. The game has few instructions for settings and gameplay. The sounds are loud and compressed and thus unpleasant, there is no story, but the visuals are pretty. I can accept the lack of story, but the harsh sounds and the poor controls make me advise against this game.

Cool atmospheric creepy concept. Searching through the frequencies and listening was quite fun. Sound in the game is mega.

Took me 10 years to get around to playing the game. Wish I didn't.

Atmospheric, short, and very brainy. I'm glad I played through it yet I'm sad I had to resort to a guide at a few points as doing so took me out of the experience and I think being able to play through this without taking myself out of this game would have been an amazing experience. I think this is an easy recommendation to those with a fondness for challenging puzzles but also think this steak might be hard to chew for those that lack it.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
