Small Radios Big Televisions is an indie puzzle video game. The game was developed by Fire Face and released on 8 November 2016 for PC and PlayStation 4. Owen Deery, the founder of Fire Face, created everything in the game, including artwork, music and a custom game engine.[1]
The game initially started out as a free web-based prototype using WebGL and JavaScript. When the prototype attracted significant interest, Owen decided to turn it into a stand-alone game.[1]
The game received praise from critics for the unique atmosphere created by its visuals[2] and music.[3][4] The music style has been likened to Boards of Canada,[5] which was also cited as inspiration by Owen.[1] Several reviews voiced their dislike for the unvaried puzzles[6] and confusing story.[4]
