What Signalis is

Signalis is an adventure game developed by rose-engine and released in 2022. It was published by Balor Games. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

After her ship crash-landed on a remote, snow-covered planet, the Replika Elster is looking for her missing crew member. In her search she wanders through the ruins of a seemingly abandoned underground labor camp, surreal visions of cosmic horror, and flashbacks to a past that isn't hers. As the lines between reality and dream blur, Elster has to venture into the depths below the planet's surface to learn what has happened to her and why - but mysterious encoded radio signals and a Replika with dark intentions are not the only obstacles she has to overcome along the way.
