Your only companion went to salvage parts from Tower 15 for some much needed repairs, however that was several hours ago and you have not received a transmission since.
Dead Air begins with players taking control of Tower 18’s command console and acknowledging a long overdue transmission. Only by carefully managing the tower’s failing power generator, one-way communication network, and the impending darkness can you lead your companion safely back home.
Dead Air was made in collaboration with the Portland Indie Game Squad (PIGSquad) and the Creative Media and Digital Culture Program (CMDC Program) at Washington State University Vancouver during the PIGSquad’s July Remix Summer Slow Jam.
