Late Night with Ken Hayes

October, 1998. You’re alone on the graveyard shift at a small-town radio station. Then the callers start describing the same man.

Late Night with Ken Hayes is a first-person psychological horror game set inside WBRF 98.3 FM during a violent late-night storm.

You are Ken Hayes, the station’s overnight host. Take calls, operate the broadcast desk, make coffee, answer messages and keep the show running while the rest of Briar Falls sleeps.

At first, it’s an ordinary shift.

Then one caller mentions a pale man standing outside.

Another caller sees him too.

And every time someone talks about him on air, he seems to get closer.

WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT

Explore a detailed late-1990s radio station, answer incoming calls and interact with physical broadcast equipment as the familiar routine of Ken’s shift slowly begins to break down.

LISTEN CAREFULLY

The horror unfolds through callers, radio interference, text messages, environmental changes and things that may—or may not—be waiting just outside the light.

SOMETHING IS SPREADING

People who have never met begin describing the same figure. What connection does the broadcast have to what they are seeing—and what happens when too many people know he exists?

A SHORT, AUTHORED HORROR EXPERIENCE

A tightly paced, story-driven horror game designed to be played in a single sitting, with a grounded late-1990s atmosphere, heavy rain, practical interactions and escalating supernatural horror.
