Yesterday marked the launch of SIGNALIS, a sci-fi horror that had been teased for more than four years. On its release day, the game earned a remarkable 98% score on Steam, signaling strong early enthusiasm from players.
To commemorate the moment, Rose Engine Studio released a fresh trailer that spotlights the protagonist railing against nightmarish creatures. The clip gives a clear sense of the tension and danger players will face as they explore a world that blends sci‑fi aesthetics with survival horror.
SIGNALIS unfolds in a bleak, futuristic setting where the player follows a female android named Elster. Her quest takes her to an off‑planet factory in a search for her partner, only to encounter a host of terrifying monsters that hint at darker corporate secrets. The journey centers on solving puzzles, escaping hostile entities, and uncovering the origins of the haunting threats while navigating a world that feels both technologically advanced and eerily decayed.
The game’s description captures the mood and objectives: to unravel the mystery, survive the onslaught of nightmarish beings, and traverse the off‑world factory with Elster as she pursues her lost dreams.
Creative influences cited for SIGNALIS include filmmakers and artists such as Stanley Kubrick, Hideaki Anno, and David Lynch. In terms of gameplay, players familiar with classic survival horror will notice echoes of iconic titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, while the game forges its own distinct atmosphere through its design and storytelling choices.
SIGNALIS has launched on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. At the time of writing, the title is not available on the Russian Steam store.
All available screenshots of SIGNALIS can be viewed in the media gallery associated with the release. Accessibility features and performance notes are expected to be detailed in the ongoing updates from the developers.
Meanwhile, reports note that Denuvo protection has been removed from Gotham Knights, a separate title, five days after its release, reflecting ongoing conversations in the industry about DRM and game performance. These developments come from coverage outlets such as VG Times, which provide ongoing updates on release plans and protections in contemporary game publishing.
