Publishing brand PLAYISM, operated by our active gaming media, announced on August 8 that it will launch Signalis on October 27. The compatible platform is PC (Steam)/PS4/Nintendo Switch. The price is 1980 yen including tax on the download version. The package version will be released for the PS4/Nintendo Switch, and the original sticker, can badge, and double-sided poster will be included as the first benefit.

Signalis is a survival horror game. The stage will be in the near future. It is an era where replica, a humanoid android, lives with humans. The story begins when Elster, an engineer replica, wakes up in the spaceship. The spacecraft seemed to crash on a planet in the frontiers covered with snow, and his partner, Ariane Yang, is invisible. Elster found a ruined ruin while searching for Ariane. As he searches for the ruins, he touches hidden conspiracy.

Signalis is developed as a survival horror game. As a game play, it is expanded from a viewpoint of viewing, and it is produced in a form that combines 3D and pixel art. While escaping from the approaching enemy, you solve the mystery. In this work, inventory management is the key. There are few resources such as ammunition and physical strength, and the items that can be carried out are limited. You need to think about what to put in the storage box. I also want to avoid battles as much as possible.

It is also influenced by the works of Stanley Cubrick, Hideaki Anno, David Lynch and classical cosmic horror. It also includes elements such as monitoring, bureaucracy, and totalitarian system, and the story is developed under the theme of what is yourself and What is memory?

The development is the German Indie Studio Rose-Engine. The studio has been highly evaluated in ITCH.IO, a horror game that introduces fear expressions such as ASCEND and COFFIN COUNSELLING. Signalis was also developed as a horizontal scroll-type work, but as a result of trial and error, it has settled on a 2D sprite and 3D low polygon game. It has been developed for a long time, and the other day, Humble Games announces that the overseas version will be released on October 27. The domestic version seems to be released on the same day from Playism.

Signalis will be released on October 27 for PC (Steam)/PS4/Nintendo Switch. The Xbox One version seems to be released from Humble Games.
