About
Warning: there are screamers and scenes of violence in the game that can cause a sense of dread in particularly susceptible individuals.
ON AIR is a game in the genre of SURVIVAL HORROR with Sci-fi elements written in the first person.
You are to explore every corner of the gloomy old hotel Algol, alive with ominous creatures. Moreover, you need to unravel all the puzzles of this hotel and its inhabitants, overcoming your fear. From the first minutes of the game it can be realised that this place is not what it seems.
Plot:
The game takes place in the United States in 1969, in Louisiana during a hurricane Camilla.
The main character is a bioengineer Ray Smith, who hurries to his family, caught in trouble. Due to the impending hurricane he forces to stay overnight in the old hotel with friendly, at first glance, staff.
Waking up from the terrible screams, he realizes that he was trapped: the hotel has changed. Ordinary rooms and corridors turned into overgrown frightening jungle. Creatures hiding in the dark, strange shadows, heartbreaking screeching... Ray quickly realizes that there has been some kind of contamination that spreads through the air and affects all organic and inorganic materials except metals and polymers. Main hero finds a unique device with which he manages to contact one more survivor. Together they try to get out of the hotel, using this technology that seems completely new and unusual for them and their world.
Environment:
Locations of the game are represented by the territory of the hotel and include many rooms: living rooms, corridors, stairs, elevators, halls, basement, attic and library. An important part of the gameplay is ventilation, moving through which you can avoid collision with enemies. Moreover, there is a location outside the hotel: a swamp, where the player also passes quests that help to reveal the story...
Enemies:
Enemies are represented by a group of characters with individual abilities and characteristics. Some of them have the intelligence and it’s not so easy to hide from them. Others are less reasonable beings that react to noise, act sharply and aggressively. There are also creatures that are in a state of dormancy until a certain point. The player has to find different methods of fighting with each of them.
Moreover, there will appear a possibility to interact with them as the plot unwinds, for example by using distractions, setting traps or stunning.
Gameplay:
The gameplay includes the search for the necessary items, as well as solving story tasks that help to reach new levels. Some items found in the game have unique properties. In addition to the main story at each level there are additional quests, allowing to reveal parallel storylines. During the game an atmosphere of 60s gradually transforms into an environment with Sci-Fi elements, which entails the appearance of many strange mechanisms and devices...
