Discover terrifying secrets, challenging puzzles, and nightmarish creatures in a tense and melancholic experience of cosmic dread and classic psychological survival horror.
REMEMBER OUR PROMISE
FATAL EXCEPTION
SIGNALIS is set in a dystopian future where humanity has colonized the solar system, and the totalitarian regime of Eusan maintains an iron grip through aggressive surveillance and propaganda. Humanoid androids known as Replikas live among the populace, acting as workers, civil servants, and Protektors alongside the citizens they are designed to resemble.
The story of SIGNALIS begins as a Replika named Elster awakens from cryostasis in a wrecked vessel. Now stranded on a cold planet, she sets out on a journey into depths unknown.

Just a quick tip, any items you have in the item slot (flashlight for example) can be used by pressing "C", no need to go into the inventory. Good playthrough so far otherwise!

[@Quasimofo]

Ahh, C is what does it. I was wondering if there was a way to do it! Glad you're enjoying!

[@dodo7ger]

@@Quasimofo It is one of the few games where looking at the manual actually makes sense. It also explains how the shooting works, for example. I am already curious what you will think about the game at the end. Its possible to take quite some deep dives on it. :D

4:24 "Anti-Panzer" means anti-tank, if you didn't know. In general, Panzer(ung) means armor or shell (a turtle shell is called Schildkrötenpanzer), though when talking about vehicles it specifically refers to tanks. 10:10 Ship? This is on a planet or moon, what would you be mining on a ship? This is an installation underground on a planet or other celestial body, you've seen the map, and it talked of a planetary surface or something, which was *up*. 13:25 There's an I in Vorsicht, y'know :) Anyway, a 2 nm fiber would be extremely fragile. It'd have a cross-section of only a few molecule chains, and chemical bonds aren't *that* strong. Also one wonders how this miraculous fiber that supposedly cuts through anything would actually be mounted without cutting through its fittings. 18:00 You keep calling them Star (the plural of that bird's name is Stare, but knowing you, you'll butcher that even worse :D), but the combat variant of Mynah is called Schnäpper (that's pronounced like shneppa would be in English). I'm pretty sure that hole there is the one that Isa pushed Adler in after stabbing him. 24:00 Pretty sure that's "The dead shall be offered XYZ" as in "XYZ shall be offered to the dead". 25:00 Or the camera after the transition just points into a different direction than before … easier explanation than weird spaces or off-screen curves. Granted I don't think the game has done that so far. 25:37 That the Operation Penrose logo, we saw it in the first episode. The shape is called (IRL) the Penrose triangle, after Roger Penrose. 27:39 "Nothing valued is here" What I immediately thought of was the text from the 1993 report on warning messages for long-term nuclear waste storage (dunno where I first encountered that text, but it was memorable enough to immediately call the words "this is not a place of honor" to mind). Another comment already posted the Wikipedia link. Notably the last sentence here was not in the quote on the Wikipedia article, might be original in this game. Obviously this isn't about nuclear radiation, considering any spacefaring civilization would know about that (and it's been mentioned in the Mynah description).

[@Darcmagikan1]

Limenalität = liminality, it describes the condition of being in between things... kinda fitting for the weird time shenanigans adler and maybe we are experiencing

[@crateim]

the message at the top of the ladder is a reference to the long-term nuclear waste warning messages "This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages

[@Quasimofo]

Huh, neat! Definitely not something I've ever encountered before.

[@hgdge]

cosmic horror so based
