The Darkness at the Brink of Ohio is a solo journaling game about a local radio show in the surrounding area of Akron, Ohio that was heard across the state before it happened. DJ Mike from 106.6 The Brink was doing his late night show when something strange took over, causing a terrible event to befall its listeners.
You are playing one of the listeners who was working the late night shift. You are documenting your work in a journal while hearing DJ Mike undergo his transformation into something beyond this realm. This game uses a soundtrack for you to listen to while you journal and answer prompts.
The major themes of this game are parasocial relationships and hypervisibility within a small fanbase.
The are content warnings for this game include:
* Natural horror
* Body horror
* Psychological horror
* Parasocial relationships
* Listening to someone’s boundaries being pushed via sexual harassment and other forms of harassment
* Listening to someone transform into something other than human
We have the soundtrack available for free for everyone to check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZRuIFUhI4s
