SIGNALIS

แต่ฉันรู้ ฉันรู้ เหมือนฉันหายหน้าไปนาน อาจดูเหมือนฉัน ฉันละทิ้ง สัญญาที่บอกไป แต่เห็นไหม เห็นฉันไหม ว่าฉันคือคนเดิม กลับมาแล้ว และไม่เคยจะเปลี่ยนไป สัญญาต้องเป็นสัญญา... สัญญาว่ามาต้องมา เมื่อใดที่ใครให้คำสัญญา ต้องรักษาดีดี ด้วยหัวใจ I kept our promise, nothing to worry, love. [spoiler] May you rest peacefully among the stars. [/spoiler]

An amazing game, best thing I've played in a while. The more I like a game, the more I have to say about it. This game takes so many of my favorite things, as well as a bunch of artistic inspirations I have yet to familiarize myself with, and wears them on its sleeve. I played the original Resident Evil games before this, and doing so was probably the best decision I could have made. So much of the gameplay choices evoke previous survival horror tropes, and as someone who has recently dived headfirst into the genre, this game's strengths outweigh even its own inspirations. Aesthetically this automatically became one of my favorite games. Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell seem to be the two biggest inspirations, but I also love how the series took itself in an even darker direction (somehow) with its fascist authoritarian setting. The way the game theatrically relays its story is so evocative of Evangelion and I love that. I was also a huge fan of the way the story tells its story in a completely non-linear way, in a way that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE if you're paying attention to the subtext!!! I also love the lovecraftian influences (none of which I have read- I'm sorry for larping) of which I have enough passing familiarity to appreciate. It's actually surprising I haven't seen something combine the aesthetics of those two yet, because they fit together so naturally. The art direction of this game is beautiful. The pixel art is gorgeous and the way the screen moves based on in-game stimuli is a nice touch. The sound design is also beautiful, both in its music and sound effects. I loved using the radio for puzzles. Unfortunately the one aspect this game disappointed me was its combat gameplay. The lock-on is finnicky and unreliable, and I often died to enemies walking up to me and killing me because the aim would lock on to the wrong enemy. I played on the hardest difficulty to 100% this game, and even though its encouraged to avoid enemies when you can, I often found myself avoiding enemies just because I didn't trust the game to let me get rid of them. The bosses were also a mixed bag, with the first one being the worst example of my main complaint to date, while the second one was just a health sponge I killed with little effort. Ironically the final boss made up for it, being the most fun I had with the combat system the whole game. Overall not a deal breaking experience for me, but it's worth mentioning. This game is a MUST play for anyone into the same sci-fi tropes as me, and I will forever hold a special place for it in my heart. Also, the yuri was amazing. I need more wlw queer media injected directly into my veins STAT

So, this is a kind of game you come back to in 6 months after finishing it the first time and still shake remembering your first experience, whether the shaking is from fear or anticipation, that honestly varies from consumer to consumer, but for me especially it's a healthy mixture of the two. It's an amazing game that is truly unforgettable for me, a few reasons. One being the art, the art alone is stunningly beautiful. My first playthrough was full of gawking at my screen, I took many screenshots and fell in love with this game. The attention to detail as I was running for my life were truly stunning, I would often find myself intrigued and entrapped by the art of the Gestalts, the propaganda, the Replikas, the reflection in the shards of glass, the shadows beneath the character, the uncanny corpses, and so much more (In other words, spoilers). Now then, for the second I must commend the writing of this beautifully terrifying story. The writing attributed to the deep and scarring story of Signalis carries a different kind of; I wanna say "eldritch" horror, the kind that you can't really describe, but know oh too well? Another specific kind of horror shown all throughout Signalis is palimpsest horror. Palimpsest horror is a horror in which the old is erased but imperfectly. The new reveals parts of the old in a revealing light showing the 'truth' hiding just beneath the surface of the old. An overwriting in which you know something is wrong by how the surroundings look and the atmosphere feels, but you can't strictly place your finger on what is wrong, or irony is used to make the main focal point, or main character in this case completely ignore it. The horror story of Signalis occasionally resurfaces in absent minded thought. The interactions with other Replikas, the few Gestalts you do meet, the atmosphere that this game is steeped in, all apply to the story in new way that I have never seen a horror game do make it that much more beautiful and fleeting to me, I love this game and it will be a frequent play for me. If I'm being honest the terror the main character experiences struck an interesting chord in me and I felt the need to shar my love of this game so that others could bask themselves in the complex story of Signalis. Now for my closing remarks, I'm sorry to have made you read so much, but thank you if you did. I hope this inspired you to play this game as a similar post did for me. Now shall we determine the breaking points of sanity, fathom the monolithic amounts of trauma, and perceive what a fractured mind can omit to survive. Or shall we too fracture before our story ends?
