Dead Air at Cedarlock Point by mamos

Dead Air at Cedarlock Point is a suspense-driven paranormal mystery told through classic parser-based interactive fiction. Inspired by the golden age of text adventures like Zork and Planetfall, players type natural language commands to explore environments, investigate disturbances, and uncover a truth that refuses to stay buried.

It begins with a late-night call on a small-town AM radio station.

During a routine broadcast of Coast and County on WCQZ 930 AM, a caller recites a strange phrase from an old record. The line goes quiet for a moment. Then the signal glitches. Later that night, equipment begins failing. Doors move. Lights flicker. Voices bleed through dead air.

Something has been stirred.

Cedarlock Point is a coastal Maine town with a long memory and incomplete records. The radio station sits on land that was never fully documented, and as unexplained disturbances escalate from technical anomalies to physical manifestations, it becomes clear that the past is not finished speaking.

This is not a jump-scare horror game. It is escalating, atmospheric tension. Equipment must be checked. Records must be researched. Locations must be searched carefully. The disturbances grow stronger over time, and the answers lie both in the station’s history and beneath the soil itself.

If you enjoy grounded supernatural mysteries, small-town secrets, and slow-building dread wrapped in the nostalgia of 1990s radio culture, Dead Air at Cedarlock Point invites you to stay tuned.

When the signal drops to silence, something else may be listening.
