VOID 1680 AM Solo RPG

Tune in to the static, watch the dashboard clock tick past midnight, and try to keep your voice steady as the shadows outside the studio glass begin to move.

VOID 1680 AM is a haunting, 48-page standalone solo horror journaling roleplaying game that puts you in the hot seat of a late-night radio DJ broadcasting into the void. Released in 2023 by Carson Page (distributed by Bannerless Games), this uniquely atmospheric zine turns a real-world musical playlist into a terrifying vehicle for cosmic dread and isolation. Requiring only a microphone (or your imagination), a deck of standard playing cards, a six-sided die, and a personal playlist of music, the game challenges you to run a graveyard-shift radio show as a strange, supernatural apocalypse slowly swallows your town.

The game is a masterclass in auditory tension and slow-burn psychological horror. The gameplay loop mimics a real radio broadcast: you introduce your show, hit play on a track from your playlist, and use the length of the song to write or record your thoughts in real time. Between songs, you draw from the deck of cards to determine what kind of strange phone calls, bizarre structural interference, or unsettling sights you encounter outside the station windows. Rather than tracking traditional health, you manage your "Signal" and "Sanity," deciding whether to keep broadcasting the truth to your dwindling listeners or cut the feed before the entities on the other end of the line track you down.
