I’ve never been a big horror games fan, and can’t say I’ve played a lot of the PS1 era ones this game seems to be inspired by.
What I can say, though, is that Signalis is awesome. The atmosphere is almost perfect, despite being a little hindered by a lack of visual variety. The story’s got style, impact and pacing done right, which can get hard when the narrative sets out for as much subjetivism and non-linearity as this game’s does.
Overall, I was enticed by Signalis’ vibes from the beginning of the game to the end of it. They’re a mix of tension, speculation and awe in a way I had no idea I’d find in this game, that ends up being much more than the sum of its parts.
