Radiotext Is Now Live — Alp Arslan’s Solo Cyberpunk Hacking RPG Launches on Steam

This coverage has followed Radiotext since its August preview — the forgotten 1990s wireless network, the trust mechanics built around unreliable residual users, and the 2D-presenting-as-3D engine that keeps the game’s footprint near 200MB even at 4K. Solo developer Alp Arslan (ENNIE Silver Award winner for tabletop sourcebook Historica Arcanum: Serenade for the Damned) has now shipped the full game on Steam as of September 28, priced at £9.99/$11.99/€11.99 with a 30% launch discount for two weeks.

Confirmed at Launch

The main story runs 3-4 hours with multiple endings, and network exploration continues after the story concludes — though because relationships and plot branches shift based on player choices throughout, a single playthrough won’t surface everything the network holds. The retro terminal interface, typed-dialogue conversations, and network-appropriate sound design remain interface-customizable (screen color, node layout), with some dialogue options deliberately difficult to discover during normal play.

Language support at launch: English (interface, voice, subtitles) and Turkish (interface, subtitles) — the Turkish support is new information confirmed at this launch stage, reflecting the developer’s own background.

International comparison points raised alongside the launch — Duskers, Hypnospace Outlaw, S.P.L.I.T — situate Radiotext specifically among games built around exploring unfamiliar, atmospheric digital spaces, a useful reference set for players deciding whether the concept appeals to them.

For the full design analysis — the trust-and-betrayal mechanics, the async multiplayer where other players’ messages blend with NPCs’, and the tabletop-to-video-game skill transfer — see our earlier coverage.

Available now on Steam.
