1) Deputy Martinez

The first victim calls into The Scream Radio Show, and the game dives right into the action. Deputy Martinez is knocked out and locked up in a cell with the key trapped inside, which means Forrest and Peggy need to band together and work with Leslie to help out Martinez.

Talk to Peggy and choose the following options to save Chuck Brody:

  1. Chuck Brody

16) 3:00 am – Roller Ricky and Jason

In the beginning, the calls do not put anyone in any real danger, but a single decision shapes the fate of Roller Ricky. First, talk to Virginia, and then when you start talking to Sandra, choose the following options, even if it feels like the results don’t seem all that great:

  1. That sounds nice.”

  3. You okay?
  4. We know.”
  5. Sure.”
  6. Of course.”

Now, get ready to go through a lot of calls until Dawn comes back once more. She asks for your help with home alarm security codes. 

Head down to the basement where you found the recorders and retrieve the user manual and delivery note. Place them at your desk and give Dawn the alarm test activation code. Do not give any of the other codes with you. This then set off the alarms to the rink, giving Ricky enough time to make a move and escape from the Whistling man, revealing some hard-to-swallow truths.

The next call comes from a girl named Casey. She informs you that her friend, Jason, was stabbed by the Whistling Man and needs immediate medical help. Once the nurse gives you the instructions, you need to save Jason by relaying them to Casey, selecting the following options:

The final objective in Killer Frequency is to distract Dawn—the Whistling Man—for long enough so that the cops can move in and apprehend her. Head down to the basement first to turn the power back on, as a certain someone took it out.

Return to the booth to find Peggy missing, and you get greeted by the elusive Whistling Man, who explains everything.

But as we said, you need to stall for time. To do that, you must try to keep the conversation with Teddy going for as long as possible.

  1. I’ll do it.”
  2. I can do that.”
  3. Be honest, Teddy.”
  4. Whistling night, right?
  5. Did you ask Ricky?
  6. Just a prank?
  7. How did you feel?
  8. Who was under the mask?
  9. How do you know?
  10. Then why the cover up?
  11. (Quick time event) “He wasn’t a blip.”
  12. Answer the question.”
  13. You’ve been through hell.”
  14. The School Gym!

After selecting the final response, make sure you grab the birthday card off of Peggy’s desk. Keep it in your hands while the conversation continues and everything unfolds, causing you to save Peggy and Forrest. Not only that, but you have also saved everyone possible in Killer Frequency.
