As it is mentioned lots of times already by many people, and I will mention it as well, Signalis is a genius, well designed and a tremendous survival horror experience, and a groundbreaking moment for indie videogames.
An incredible work of art from two developers (with a little help from others of course) who offered a loving tribute to all survival horror games from the late 90s to early 2000s, including a presentation of how far someone is willing to go for their loved ones.
Elster, a Replika unit, wakes up after crashing to an unknown planet, not remembering the reason she's here. Forgetting her 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲. She leaves her ship to find something, only to run into a strangely familiar room, yet she can't wrap her finger around it. That was the moment, she got the first message from an unidentified sender. The moment she got back all her memories. From past selves maybe? From other Elsters? That she had made a promise. And she'd do anything to keep it. Her promise. No. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 promise.
A story about a person stuck in a neverending dream. A loop. An eerie and dreadful reality. To keep reminding Elster. 𝗧𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲.

I would love to get more into the messages and themes of Signalis and how fun of a time I've had with the gameplay, but decided in the end to keep it short, to avoid spoilers mostly, but the game has made a huge impact on me and turned this experience from a spine-chilling horror survival, to a thought provoking narrative with hidden details waiting to be discovered. To remind you. To keep you straight to your goal.
