About this game
Elster awakens in a wrecked spacecraft and sets out to find her missing partner. In SIGNALIS, that search takes you through an abandoned facility, where keys and keycards open the way forward. Radio puzzles make operating unfamiliar equipment part of the investigation: you must decipher signals as well as find the objects needed to proceed. Supplies shape your decisions throughout the search. Ammunition and healing items are scarce, and limited carrying space requires exchanging equipment at storage boxes. Whether to engage an enemy is therefore a decision to weigh against what you have available. Cassettes, floppy disks and CRT displays establish the retro technology of this science fiction setting.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A considered fit for horror players who enjoy solving problems while rationing their options.
Scarce supplies and decisions about engaging enemies could make even ordinary encounters feel consequential. Radio decoding offers a different kind of concentration, making this a promising fit if investigation matters as much to you as confrontation.
Strengths
- Radio puzzles could make the act of operating equipment feel integral to the mystery.
- Resource limits give players a concrete reason to consider whether a fight is worth its cost.
Weaknesses
- The carried-item limit may feel restrictive if you prefer keeping every potentially useful tool immediately available.
Who it is for: Players drawn to survival horror built around conservation, environmental investigation and equipment-based puzzles.
Play notes: Expect to weigh combat against ammunition and healing reserves rather than treating every encounter as an invitation to attack.
