Static Hour is an upcoming horror game that casts players as the overnight editor of a small-town radio station during an unexplained crisis. It matters because its central challenge is not direct combat or escape, but deciding what information is trustworthy and what should be broadcast while public fear grows.

Set in the 1980s, players monitor phones, radio transmissions and police scanners, using limited analogue equipment to investigate reports of lockdowns and violence. They must also comply with FCC rules and consider how each report affects the town; developer Barkbyte Interactive cites horror driven by incomplete audio evidence, misinformation and speculation as its inspiration. The game is planned for PC via Steam, but has no announced release date.
