Experience Pixel-Based “Classic Survival Horror” in ‘Signalis’ [Trailer]
Developer rose-engine is looking to separate itself from other survival horror fare with Signalis. Currently in development for a Steam release, the game utilizes a “pixel-based anime” aesthetic, while taking inspiration from classic survival horror fare such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Signalis centres on the Replika known as Elster, who after crash-landing on a remote snow-covered planet, must search for her missing crew member. During her search, Elster wanders through the ruins of an abandoned underground labor camp, where she begins to experience surreal visions of cosmic horror and strange flashbacks. 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.
No release date as of yet, but the title does have an official site. And, in a brief interview with Gematsu, rose-engine stated that they are planning to release Signalis on other consoles in the future.
Check out the announcement trailer below.

Critical Reflex Debuts ‘Grobnopolis | Last Days’ Gameplay Trailer, ‘Sated’ Playtest Signups [Video]
Critical Reflex has followed up the April reveal of Bananadevjeff’s Grobnopolis | Last Days with a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming narrative horror adventure, as well as announcing signups for the first playtest for their recently-announced roguelike horror cooking game, SATED.
For those who missed it, Grobnopolis | Last Days continues and expands the story of Bananadevjeff’s itch.io hit Funeralopolis, and casts players as an apartment block caretaker in 1983 Huta-Grobno. You find fragile comfort in keeping things running smoothly while the city curdles into panic. When the locals begin to whisper of a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets and the local ecclesiastical order tightens its grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find in this slow, oppressive atmospheric horror experience that curiosity is both compass and curse.
Meanwhile, SATED is a cooking roguelike from developer Forest Reges, where you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.
As mentioned, you can sign up for the upcoming playtest via the official Steam page. Just click the “Request Access” button and wait.
