I found the act of getting abnormal frequencies to register with the computer unclear.
That said, I think the visuals and sound design are excellent, as is the oppressive computerized voice at the start.
There's a bizarre warping effect that happens when you get close to some object textures, but whether or not it's a bug I think it actually adds to the atmosphere.
I spent a minute headbobbing in the dark to the boyband channel (I turned all the lights in the room off)

Hey Fitzy,
Sorry about that. The lack of visual feedback definitely detracts from the gameloop of finding and recording abnormal frequencies. Something that will be fixed later on after the Jam. You do have to interact with the computer though to trigger recording on the stations which actually have anomalies (there are two in the first stage and about 25 more after that broken up into stages)
Yep! That's an intentional effect. It's meant to mimic the texture perspective warping of the PS1. I only applied it to some objects because it definitely got distracting on everything
Definitely come back after the Jam once some updates are made :)
