Take Cover Now

About

Take Cover Now is a tense analog horror game from Raikori that unfolds through a radio broadcast. You play as a late-night DJ at a small jazz station when an eerie Emergency Alert System message cuts through the static. The transmission hints at a catastrophic threat, but something feels off. As the situation escalates, you navigate cryptic instructions and distorted audio to uncover what’s really happening. The gameplay revolves around quick decisions and parsing fragmented clues, all while the tone shifts from unsettling to straight-up disturbing. The game’s strength lies in its eerie atmosphere and clever use of audio to build dread. It leans into found-footage aesthetics and radio horror tropes to create a claustrophobic experience. With a runtime under 90 minutes, it’s brief but impactful, leaving a lingering sense of unease. On Steam, it holds a 75% positive rating from 10K reviews, with many praising its creativity and effective scares. While the pacing and resolution split opinions, fans of low-fi horror experiments say it’s a worthwhile 60-minute listen.
