At the time of writing, the game\u2019s setting and story are all unknown. Screenshots on the Steam page does show some hints about the locations though: a riverbank and a forest all covered in darkness. Quite a departure from Chilla&#8217;s Art\u2019s previous title <em>The Night Way Home<\/em>, which was set in an urban area and a residential area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Radio Station<\/em> combines photo-realistic 3D graphics and VHS style aesthetic, giving the game a retro vibe. According to the Steam page, this game is primarily a \u201cwalking simulator\u201d and it offers two endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chilla&#8217;s Art\u2019s works can be divided into two categories: survival horror, where the protagonist directly confronts mysterious entities, and psychological horror, which emphasizes atmospheric horror. From what we can tell so far, this game seems to be the latter.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"717\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-600x336.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-696x390.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-1068x598.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210906-174823-002-750x420.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Chilla&#8217;s Art is made up of two brothers and they have created a number of small indie-horror games in recent years including the aforementioned <em>The Convenience Store<\/em>, in which you get caught up in a mysterious phenomenon while working the night shift at a convenience store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team has been releasing new games at a fast pace and has already launched three games this year alone: <em>The Caregiver<\/em> in April, <em>Night Delivery<\/em> in June, and <em>The Night Way Home<\/em> in August.
