About Radiolight

WELCOME TO ASHWOOD CREEK, SEPTEMBER 1985

Step into the shoes of Ethan, a police officer in the quaint town of Ashwood Creek—a place where the trees whisper, the mountains loom, and secrets hide just out of sight. What begins as a routine investigation, quickly spirals into a haunting journey through the unknown.

Ashwood Creek feels frozen in time, untouched by the chaos of the outside world. But under the surface, something dark is stirring. A teenager has gone missing. A strange signal is cutting through the static of local radio stations. Lured deeper into Ashwood Creek National Park, you’ll need to tune in to every frequency and every echo of the past in the hopes of uncovering the truth.

Radiolight

A MYSTERY YOU CAN’T IGNORE

As you explore the vast, eerie expanse of Ashwood Creek National Park, you’ll find that your radio is more than just a piece of electronics — it’s your key to survival. Pick up supernatural signals and tune into otherworldly transmissions. But not all signals will guide you to safety… some are meant to lead you astray, deeper into the shadows, where the past waits to confront you.

Radiolight

WHO DO YOU TRUST WHEN DARKNESS FALLS?

Guided by the voice of Robert, your childhood friend and the town’s chief of police, you’ll venture through dense forests, foggy valleys, and forgotten trails. Together, you’ll piece together clues, follow mysterious broadcasts, and uncover the secrets that Ashwood Creek would rather keep hidden. But the closer you get to the truth, the more you’ll realise that some things are better left buried.
