AREA MAN LIVES. Or does he? A quirky radio drama unfolds around you in VR while you do your best to keep the radio station humming along as its new DJ. You record commercials, interview callers and try your best to piece together how your actions inside the station impact your listening audience.

The "story mechanics" in this game are amazing. Love the theme, it really makes you feel like a DJ in a tiny radio station in the pacific northwest. The amount of things you can interact with is surprising, and you quickly get caught up in the story.

DON'T SEE THIS AND THINK ITS A BAD GAME. the concept is awesome and its definitely something i haven't seen before but it comes with flaws. the game is very confusing being very vague with its decriptions leaving you sometimes in the dark on what to do. also the game bugged out on me not allowing me to use my right hand thus making a part of the mission unplayable. these are issues that make me not recommend this…

Good story game, but not my cup of tea for being VR. It's like the VR equivalent of an interactive Visual Novel. Would love to finish it, but every chapter just feels more tedious than the last.
