Signalis is one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played and not because of the difficulty. It’s because it had an incredible potential that was completely and utterly wasted by some of the most derivative design choices and ostentatious, fragmented story I think I’ve ever seen. Signalis has a very unique retro-futuristic-space-East German-communist/brutalist aesthetic with Evangelion-like characters and …

Signalis is a horror game that doesn’t scare but haunts you with grief. It is a melancholic and beautiful meditation on identity, memory, and the endurance of love in the face of erosion. In my opinion, it doesn’t simply pay homage to the classics, it sits alongside them. Despite the obvious inspirations of Resident Evil’s fixed camera claustrophobia and the psychologic horror of Silent Hill its syntax is entirely …

10/10 - THE BEST SURVIVAL HORROR GAME OF THE DECADE A cosmic horror narrative about grief and identity that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll Signalis is an absolute masterclass. It wears its classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill inspirations proudly on its sleeve, but it completely transcends being just a retro homage. It takes the mechanical tension you expect from old-school survival horror—the …

One of those games that remind you that video games are art. I don't like horror and felt uncomfortable throughout the whole thing, but it was so very worth it.

94% of the 286 Steam reviewers we collected recommend SIGNALIS. The complaint that keeps coming up: story is confusing and hard to follow. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia

Bought this about 2 years ago, played about 15 minutes and knew it was gonna steal all of my attention and I think I had just got Elden Ring at that time and didn't wanna miss the chance to hang out with friends playing that together, so I put Signalis aside. Then, for over a year, looking for something to play,…

positive · AI labelView post →Are there any good indie games on the world's largest video game store? I dunno, are there any leafy trees in the Amazon? From what I've been playing: Stardew Valley, Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Derail Valley, A Hat In Time, Project Wingman, Frostpunk 1 and 2, Portal 2 (technically self-published), Signalis. Voices Of The Void will eventually have a Steam release. All of those games work well on Linux.
