Bandwave

Bandwave is a short atmospheric visual novel. At 1:07 in the morning, a woman who can't sleep turns on an old radio. Inside is a voice that is always half a beat ahead of her, speaking the words she's afraid to say out loud. She's afraid of it — yet only by hearing that sentence can she fall asleep.

The only thing she doesn't know: who is that voice, and what will it read tonight?

About the developer: This game is a practice project — made to learn game development and to explore how AI can assist and improve the game-making pipeline. From script, art, and audio integration to the engine, localization, and release, every step was an experiment in collaboration. It is still far from what I would call finished, and there are many things I am not satisfied with — those will be the starting points I keep refining in the games I make next.

How it plays

• Explore her small room freely: tune the radio, read the notes on the wall, listen at the wall, open the drawer, look out the window.
• Your choices build three quiet tendencies, but the fork is never locked — all five replies are always in front of you.
• Five endings grow from the same unfinished sentence: The Door Across, Broadcasting, Silence, Full Signal, and The Program Schedule. There is no single truth, only different ways to live with the cost.

Why replay

• After finishing an ending, a new night carries small wording shifts — “she remembers other nights.”
• Each variant is only a line or two; paths never change. Read-only skip still works.
• Collecting every ending takes about 1–2 hours.
