Despite all my complaints about inventory management and the sometimes questionable design decisions involving the combat of the game, In my opinion, I think that Signalis is really something quite special.

The overarching story is mostly told by pieces of paper and documents scattered throughout the game. In most cases, I would condemn storytelling through these means. Though, I feel like most of my complaints about these sorts of storytelling stem from the stories told from them being rather bland (Looking at you, Resident Evil) but Signalis for me, did not have a single low point in terms of it's writing. The final trek towards the end really seals the deal on the entire experience.

The narrative feels like it was tailor made for me. There is so much more to this game than what meets the eye. I am sure that no words that come from my brain will completely deliver just how much I adore the story this game is telling. The final scene from the ending that I got is hauntingly beautiful, and I am sure that I will remember it for a very long time.

Love is truly, such a beautiful thing.
