Chasing Static

Jan 23, 2023

All in all, we enjoyed our time with Chasing Static. The retro-stylings hooked us in and gave the creepy atmosphere a more unique flavour, while the gameplay and story were good enough to keep us coming back for more. A little more action wouldn’t have gone amiss, but as it is, Chasing Static comes out as something we’d recommend to those looking for something a little different.Become a Patron!

Fully committing to a very retro look, this sort of horror adventure at least makes an impression in its somewhat brief runtime One thing I’ll readily admit is that, in general, I’ve found it to be rough going for indie horror fans in this generation.

Chasing Static is a psychological horror game in which you play a character who stumbles upon a failed research facility. These always mean trouble, this time caused by a surrounding energy field that can make a person slowly lose their mind. Recovering the equipment to fix the field and discovering what happened won’t take the player more than a few hours, but it’s a mostly fun, constantly creepy time while it lasts.

A little rough around the edges, even for the lo-fi approach – Chasing Static is a decent time if you’re looking for a short sci-fi horror story. The PSX art style lends itself into being an aesthetically memorable experience that might please fans of that era of horror games. Despite the game’s title I wasn’t necessarily guided by the static, resulting in a missing trick. However, the decent albeit a little vague story made me want to stay in the game till the end. Chasing Static is out now on PlayStation 5 (review platform), PS4, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) Developers: Headware Games Publishers: Ratalaika Games Disclaimer: In order to complete this review, we were provided with a promotional code from the publisher.

PS1 aesthetic fans will find a fun mood piece experience here, most others will likely feel underwhelmed by the shortcomings and averageness of what the game has to offer, compared to its peers.
