Prepare for a chilling descent into analog horror with Take Cover Now, an upcoming single-player experience from developer Raikori. Set in the early morning hours of June 3rd, 1998, the game plunges players into a terrifying scenario where a trusted Emergency Alert System is weaponized.

Players will step into the shoes of local radio DJ Scott Crosby, who is hunkering down for a stormy night at WSKC. However, the expected weather warning is quickly overshadowed by something far more sinister.

A mysterious group has hijacked the Emergency Alert System, turning a beacon of safety into a tool of fear and misinformation. What was once an infallible source of government knowledge becomes dangerous, as the game explores the unsettling prospect of public safety systems being used against us.

Take Cover Now promises an atmospheric journey through a world where the familiar becomes frightening. The game's 1990s setting, combined with its first-person perspective and walking simulator elements, aims to create an immersive and unsettling experience.

Players will navigate this tense environment, uncovering the plot of nefarious individuals and confronting the psychological horror that unfolds when trust is broken.
