Radiolight walkthrough: Full guide and puzzle solutions

Out now on PC, Radiolight is an intriguing and dark mystery about a missing boy. Playing as Ethan, a police officer in the town of Ashwood Creek, you’re sent into the local national park to not only look for Ethan, but find a park ranger who appears to have vanished, too. What seems like a straightforward case of a missing person soon becomes more ominous as you discover ominous secrets the further into the park you delve. If you’re stuck trying to figure out the mysteries of Radiolight, our walkthrough should help you out.

In our Radiolight walkthrough below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to complete the game. We’ll tell you where to go, what items to pick up, and how to solve the game’s several puzzles. Two pieces of equipment are key to the game: a walkie-talkie, and a radio. You’ll need to use the radio to solve puzzles and ‘fight’ against evil forces, and your walkie-talkie will be used to communicate with your colleague — prompts will pop up on screen every time you need to use this.

Read on below to learn everything you need to know about completing Radiolight — and have fun.

Midnight

• Once you can, start walking back towards Blackwood Camp, talking to Rob on the radio as you go.

• Go inside and make your way down. You’ll find another anomaly so pull out your radio and tune it to the right frequency (92). Watch the memory.

You’ll be back at the statue. This time, go into the wooden structure and straight forward to a lift shaft. Turn right to find another anomaly. Break it with your radio (frequency 88). Watch the memory.
• When it’s finished, leave the area and make your way back around the wooden structure to come out into the large cavern again. This time go straight ahead to the large doorway.

• Approach the anomaly and use your radio on it (105). Watch the memory. You’ll need to use your radio again to keep it going.
