PEAK Survival Horror! | SIGNALIS

[@MC07_]

This game went to “Space Resident evil” to space “silent hill” and then went to “Cosmic horror” and came back to “Space silent hill mix with cosmic horror” This was really good

[@LamenHeadBoi]

Don't forget that sparkle of Evangelion 🤏✨️

[@ziliestarrive]

I’d say it’s more about love and letting go.

[@Frille512]

both. It's a story about romantic tragedy, learning to let go and also an eldritch flesh monster @@ziliestarrive

[@followerofteaandspice1815]

@@Frille512 i mean it started off with the king in yellow so it was expected to be a tragic story

[@Squeaky_Squeak]

Fun time Phil, never seen you so happy over a game that's new, it's refreshing

[@davidsanchez4929]

Can we talk about the fact that QR codes are treated as ancient glyphs in this game. I found that pretty funny. It's good to know that even though the game takes itself seriously, the developers still had a bit of fun adding a few jokes.

[@davidsanchez4929]

I edited the comment to say developers instead of developer to acknowledge that more than one person worked on this game since they deserve it, but I realize I could have just made a reply... Oh Well 😋

[@rustyfisher2081]

I must've missed it, when was this?

[@mrmac2340]

SIGNALIS is my game of the decade so far. I could analyse and theorise and interpret this story for days on end and I'd never come close to getting tired of thinking about it. Thank you for playing through this beautifully brutal work of art.

[@sargentgamer4036]

Signalis is definitely one my favorite games in the past couple of years so glad you were able to experience and enjoy it as well.

[@xubiod]

judging how this is 10 hours long my blind playthrough will probably be a good time

[@Welrd_name]

I am at a loss for words. This game is so beautiful. It took inspiration from classical literature, music and the best parts of survival horror games and made it work. But in the end it stayed its own thing. Absolutely beautiful experience, one of the best games I've ever seen, definitely will buy it for myself. Thank you for introducing us to this game Phil, I had a blast!

[@Sylvia_Corvidev]

I decided on SIGNALIS as MY FIRST EVER SURVIVAL HORROR GAME. I can't really afford RE games, and MFN is a game I'd already seen, so SIGNALIS was the clear choice. In my first play session... I'm not gonna beat around the bush. I was _frustrated._ While running out of ammo is a core part of the genre, having no defense against enemies made me feel more "annoyed" than anything, as running away from enemies isn't my favorite thing in the world. I was still for the most part enjoying the game - the whole "escape room" aspect was really fun, and I was very invested in the lore and worldbuilding. And when I _did_ have ammo, the combat was very enjoyable. However clearly, the game, and probably the whole genre, wasn't working out for me. But on my second play session I did something I've never done in a game before. I let go of my ego, got rid of my sense of "I can have fun, I just need to get good!" and went on Casual mode. And then everything clicked. Rather than constantly being out of ammo, the main issue was that I only ever had ammo for specific guns of mine. And then the puzzle became which guns to take where, having to take all my different ammo into account. After that change I had a _BLAST!_ I did not want to stop playing the game for a second, every single new room entered filled me with joy, no matter how many enemies in the room previously would've made me go "oh boy can't wait to lose my remaining 7 ammo". I kept going and going and beat the entire rest of game in one sitting. I was disappointed by the lack of a final boss and the ending in general, but hey, it was still a real fun time! So yeah. What I learned was that I actually _adore_ survival horror games... _buuuuuuuut_ only if I play on easy mode lol Then I decided the next day "hey, you know what, maybe there's multiple endings! Lemme look up how to-" and then I saw "fake ending". God damn it. I mean, I was glad there was more, but very annoyed the game didn't really have an indication of this (yeah the menu changed, but plenty of games menus change when you beat them). So then I _actually_ beat the game in one sitting. And the ending and final boss were both absolutely top tier gaming experiences. I could go on about how much I love the storytelling in this game, but I just beat it tonight and I need to formulate my thoughts before I start writing any lore essays lol I just want to thank you for introducing both this game and this entire genre to me. Even if I have to play on easy mode because idk I guess I'm a baby or something. Honestly I'm so obsessed with this game that I think I'm gonna replay the game tomorrow and go for the secret ending. The secret ending guide I looked up seemed really long but I assume it's not that bad. I'll definitely be checking out more survival horror games in the future!

[@OsnosisBones]

Regrettably that might be the main thing they expected you to do since most survival horror tries to incentivize only fighting if you absolutely have to, and this one takes that even further by having a mechanic similar to RE1 where if you don't have a specific finite item on hand when you kill an enemy they'll get right back up again even if you kill them. Though I get the frustration of not having even a really subpar means of ammo-les combar, since the melee items, similar to some other survival horror, are also a finite resource

[@juggftw4868]

Yeah unfortunately that’s a pretty common theme in survival horror, combat is optional and you’re really only meant to fight as a last resort so ammo is scarce, and finding better ways to run past enemies is faster and safer, though the last half of this game gives you enough ammo to just kill everything if you played the first half conservatively

[@Sylvia_Corvidev]

@@juggftw4868 Hey actually, this is perfect timing, I have a question: a friend has offered to lend me their Playstation and their copy of Resident Evil Village for a bit; is ammo as big of a worry in that game? Should I play at a lower difficulty like I did with SIGNALIS to make up for my fatal "must shoot everything" syndrome, or nah?

[@-Insert_name_here-]

if youre on pc get steam keys for re i think 2 and 3 remake cost around 3-4 bucks

[@creditsunknown7974]

SPOILERS. God. My favorite apart about this game has to be how your story interpretation is so tied to who you are. Though there maybe is a way all rhings come together in a structual story, depending on what you focus on you get a entire different idea. People who know about The King in Yellow would notice the absolute eldritch and cosmic nature of the game in deeper detail, people with good memory and keen eyes will notice how the rooms repeat in a way and the cyclic nature (The best example is how in the normal ending, you stay in the same position the corpse which you took the armor from was). This story and game is, was, and has become a wonderful thing whcih honestly makes me feel inspired knowing only two people made it.

[@juggftw4868]

Thanks to this game the number 6 makes me weak in the knees!

[@Vineepool]

I'm sad that I miss beginning of all three streams this week but this has to be my favorite out of them. I love the old Resident Evil style games and watching you play one for 10 hours was awesome! have a good night

[@memoryofsalem4474]

Fun fact about the butterfly room in Rotfront, the butterflies on the board have the answer. The board itaelf has "pareidolia" written on it, which is the tendency to see meaningful pictures on random things i.e. the shapes on the butterdly wings look like letters and thats the answer.

[@JRexTheKing]

Bro I legit left for 2 hours, and you were still streaming. That just goes to show how invested you were into this game. This was a BLAST!!!! Can't WAIT to see you guys next week!!!! Take care, everybody!!! I'm gonna go rewatch some VODs because I have nothing better to do

[@Jamano244]

Such a good gaaame!! Thanks for the Stream! I hope I didnt annoy anyone with the translations, if so sorry for that! I felt like the german parts where sometimes important for the story or enriched the atmosphere so I didnt want anyone to miss out on that. Also funny I guess for the 0000001% of people who are learning german :D.

[@LamenHeadBoi]

Trust me u didn't annoy anyone (not me at least) 👍

[@Radiant_J]

It was nice hearing you gush about how great this game was, I really enjoyed it as well!

[@Reverse_derpy]

Can't believe you made fun of me and my six year old Mario obsession But this game was heartbreaking and I loved every bit of it! Great work as always 👍

[@Occatoria]

Holy that was a long stream, I skipped in and out throughout it and that ending still punched me in the gut

[@calficer2250]

I've finished this game when it came out. And still I remember its setting and story some nights when I go to sleep. So I go back and watch new explanation videos and let's plays and this time it was yours :). This game is really something else. If anything it's haunting.

[@p__geni6110]

I only got to see that you put this in your top five games of all time, so I’m just now getting around to watching the stream. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did tho, what a fantastic game

[@petre1758]

Phil not realizing that you can access the documents you have read from inventory is surely something

[@fiftysquiggly]

I'm only part way through watching this VOD but I figured Phil would have learned that you can talk to NPCs multiple times and get new dialogue after talking to that injured Star unit lol. I am so glad he found out by the time he talked to Kolibri and Beo 😂

[@ferhog7705]

This playthrough haunts me to this day on account of the fact that he never actually read how the healing items worked.

[@gluebird2421]

10 hours. 10 HOURS. That is 2 hours away from you having to SWITCH STREAMS. All things aside hope you enjoyed the game! Also left something for you on the last members stream in the comments. BANANA SLAMMA

[@wxyzboi7957]

this game was soo good

[@petre1758]

God I wish I could have a talk with you about the Signalis lore

[@annoyingwitch6769]

5:46:44 fun fact: Eule means owl in German and 'eu' in Eule is pronunced more like 'oy' so it sounds more like 'oyle'

[@anusername8350]

34:46 I just realised that’s the Halo 3 Believe music!

[@jenarickman9215]

Just wanted to let you know that there are no achievements related to any of the endings, even the secret one. I think this game is meant to really just be played once, as the endings are also dictated by your playstyle, and the game keeps track of a lot of small things. The ending you get is kind of just on you. And even then, the secret ending could also not really be the best ending depending on how you look at it. Point is, as great as this game is, it feels like the game doesnt really want you to play it again, which would also fit in with the theme of stopping the loop.

[@Bl4ckWo1f1]

nothing is more frustrating than him exiting the inventory to read the note on each safe code at 1:52:05

[@brantleyyoung2292]

Man I really love the part where I call the final boss Phil.exe :’)

Happy birthday marinade puppet Master!!

I don't know what to say, that's how incredible this game is.

[@Shadowdiamondgaming]

so happy to hang out in live chat Phill hope you reach 100K hope you still remember me as well lol

[@Energyandanger]

Your videos are amazing hope you like the artwork The stream was so good You always know how to make a good joke😊

[@fiftysquiggly]

Nooo - you skipped the room with a Eule and a dying Star talking before going to NOWHERE... that makes me so sad 😂

[@samwarren6008]

2:00:46 - 2:00:59 I don't see the enjoyment in playing it sober so I'm even more confused on what enjoyment you'd get out of it drunk. I know it's a reference to Mark's drunk Minecraft series though.

[@Astro_TheBot]

Amazing stream Phil!

[@followerofteaandspice1815]

the story was intentionally left _very_ open ended after all, a bad horror story doesn't stick, jump scares don't stick. but the most abhorrent scenarios will stick with you for countless nights

[@thecreature4]

Ok the game was phenominal but can we talk about the isaac music in the intro. Gigachad music selection ngl. (I am fully aware no one else cares btw but my isaac addicted ass had to get it in here somehow)

[@aaronw365]

nah man i was scouring the comments for the source of that music lol. thanks

[@byjohan832]

Try SUPERLIMINAL, Phisnom!

[@LamenHeadBoi]

This stream was great 😁 It's the 3rd one i have sat through from start to finish so far! I've never had someone actually read (or notice) the stuff i write on chat so congrats you're the first one 😀👍 Fetish objects 😏

[@coreypharis7976]

Wonderful live stream i passed out 8-9 hours in sadly but it was wonderful Gald to see you having fun. Oh also just watched your no more deals Chara vids and i think you should try out fighting last breath sans or ink sans

[@Zach-cn4lb]

I don’t know who you are, but from what I can tell you’re a vtuber who covers a lot of Fnaf. I don’t like vtubers. I don’t like Fnaf. But god damn was this a good playthrough, and your character is actually pretty cute too. Thanks for letting me relive one of my favorite games over again
