Signalis the game is brought to life by the rose engine and it is a simple classically inspired, pure, honest horror game with no filler content. It provides a distinct sci-fi cosmic horror art style and a lyrical story telling experience packaged by Japanese, German, sexy yet appropriate art style.

Gamers on all platforms , including Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S consoles, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 alongside Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch and PC can purchase it digitally available now and will be available in February 2023, in physical form. It's also available on Xbox Game Pass.
Gameplay
Signalis is a simple game that it is a reminiscence of classic survival video games such as quiet hill or resident evil. It's a top down view, pixel, art, survival shooter with minor melee abilities with an inventory of just six items to help you navigate the world.
It's a sci-fi only single player narrative experience that brings the tension to life with a variety of melee weapons with weak ranges, forcing the fight to be played out at a weapons length , such as shotguns and pistols.
The game world is comprised of interconnected rooms where you search and find keys or items that aid in the puzzles by joining items into secure rooms that allow you to use the tools that you need in order to survive.
There are enemies who are pushed when you don't have ammo in the shotguns or pistols you encounter throughout the game world when you try to make sense of why and how you're doing what you're doing in this enigmatic world.
The game is initially straightforward and easy, however, you'll find that the difficulty increases dramatically when the gameplay progresses epically, towards the end and with enemies that revive and emerge from vents and floors, plus simple, easy, yet thrilling boss fights in a claustrophobic environment.
I'd suggest that it's not the game's blame however, if you advance through the game a lot in the course of about two or three hours into and then stop for a couple of days, coming back isn't easy because the game does not provide you with the information you're expected to do next. And due to the map being difficult to comprehend, new players might be thrown off at first, but use guides and exercise your brain muscles. Trust me, the pain is worth it.
The version of the enemy is a bit limited for my taste However, it was developed by two people, and I am able to accept it cause what is there is for the most part simple, classical, and effective use of the design of a survival horror game.
Story
The story is set in a dystopian world, told in a manner that makes you think and ponder the ending and significance of the story, rather than simply playing the game and get informed about the meaning of the story. You are meant to ponder it.

I personally found the storytelling mechanics of female workers and the male and female representation by the machines within a supposedly communist work environment interesting.
I won't go much in details in order to keep spoilers out So let me simply say that it is not an easy tale to comprehend, and you are left to interpret the story, based on my personal opinion, the meaning of things, for it is not grounded in logic or reality as such.
Graphics/Performance
For graphics and performance of Signalis the game, I will not be conducting a thorough review because it is a good game and looks great for its unique art style. It is incredibly fast and smooth on any device that you play it on pretty much and I truly hope it is brought to mobile devices such as iPhone and Android very soon.
I highly recommend playing this on an OLED Tv or Monitor for it looks beautiful.

Sound
In the realm of sound, just take a listen:
For being done mostly by two people, I think that the design of sound is simple and yet extremely effective in providing a thrilling adrenaline rush and a calmness that makes the entire experience a roller coaster of survival terror.
Achievements/Fan Service
On the achievements side, the game is actually easy to get all the achievements and according to trueachievements.com, you can get them all with an 8 to 10 hours. You can even finish it in less time if you want to speed run it.
On the side of fan service to the matter, the anime Japanese character models have adorable, gorgeous, big eyes, and the feminine figure is represented through the art style itself and feels appropriate and satisfying. Therefore I give the video a thumbs-up from a man of culture and if you feel it's not enough, I'm gonna have to suggest that you play with grass now. Then, stop the video and go.
