'Interference: Dead Air' Is A Retro-inspired Sci-fi Thriller Coming to PC In 2022 - Screens & Trailer

Interference: Dead Air is a retro-inspired sci-fi thriller where you'll go back to the '80s as a night security guard for a mysterious research facility in the southwest desert.

It was an easy job. Terrible pay, but it was just you, the graveyard shift and your little security booth out in the middle of nowhere. You were planning on catching up on some bad horror movies on tonight’s shift, before reality became stranger and deadlier than anything on VHS.

The facility is overrun, enemies stalk the halls and the science team are in danger. Steer the story through fully voice-acted, branching dialogues. Get on the radio to provide support and direct survivors to safety, reroute power through the facility remotely and track the movement of scientists and threats.

Armed with nothing but your wits, a pin-board map of the facility, your two-way radio, an archaic computer and anything else you can find lying around in the booth, only you can provide support and save your best friend trapped inside the facility. Or you can just switch off your radio, put on a movie and tune out while the world burns. Just pay no attention to the explosions on the horizon.


The Barclay Institute is thrilled to announce that new exciting opportunities await those with the most astute of character. Change your future while assisting industry-leading scientists as they work to change the world. 

The hard-working family of scientists at the Barclay Institute is seeking diligent individuals to join the ranks of its security division. While our scientists work day and night to achieve ground-breaking discoveries and innovations, safety is of the utmost importance. The Barclay Institute is in need of observant security guards to work the night shift.

What’s it like working at the Barclay Institute?

As a leading place of research, the Barclay Institute is proud to employ the latest technology of the 1980s. Communicate with the scientists in the facility using exquisitely crisp two-way radios. Observe the facility surroundings using quad monitors and dual-disk drive Metadore computer to log activity with ease.

While at the Barclay Institute, the charm and sereness of the southwest will be the backdrop to your workday. Listen to the catchiest of tunes while you work on the facility radio.

For fans interested in trying out Interference: Dead Air, a playable demo is available.


Key Features:

  • Just because you’re out of the line of fire doesn’t mean you can take it easy. Juggle radio conversations, tracking dangers on your map board and rerouting power through the facility. So long as the power stays on, you’re still in the fight.
  • Saving the day is overrated. You and the other security guards have stocked the booth to bursting with distractions and snacks. Put on a movie, heat up some microwaved goodies and chill. Who needs friends anyway?
  • Tune into a collection of 80s-inspired synth jams on your FM radio when the stress gets too much for you. Just try not to relax too much.
  • A branching story designed to be played time and time again. Experiment, explore and discover multiple endings with dozens of variations.

Interference: Dead Air is coming to PC (Steam) in 2022.
