Signalis is probably a dream game for lovers of old school survival horror, and even without experience with this style I can tell how amazing it is in some- if not most areas.
The style is sooo good. The ps1 style polygons with sprites, draped in a bleak colors with bursts red and black fits so perfect with both the setting and narrative. I think the story surprised me the most, it gets a bit surreal but in a way that fits the themes nicely. The only parts that struggled to keep me invested were with the gameplay, I can deal with a limited inventory but the enemy swarming and one area where they take away your map gets really tedious.
I still think Signalis is definitely worth playing though, and I’ll try to play more games in this genre in the future.
