What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Signal is a game with a wide and deep world of discovery and to make that truly the best it can be, we want to work with the community and strive for success with their feedback. With so much player interaction planned for this world, Early Access is a great way to collaborate and improve the quality of the game with the player experience at the forefront of development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming to be in Early Access for no more than one year, however that is subject to change based on the players' feedback and as we work towards the highest quality experience to a full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In addition to bug fixes and improvements on balance and core gameplay, we plan to add a variety of deep biomes, more materials to discover to expand building and crafting, as well as adding additional game mechanics and satisfying amount of mystery to the lore.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in the internal Alpha stage, but we have a scanning, gathering and crafting game loop supported by various modes of exploration and continuing to flesh out the biomes for a full experience. Please refer to the about section for more and we will continue to update this section with more information as things progress.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do expect the price to increase on full launch due to the additional content. We will clearly communicate any details about this as we work towards that stage so players can make an informed decision about their purchase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be active on Steam through blogs and forums, our Discord server and other social media. There will also be a website with even more information and further engagement.”

About This Game

ABOUT THIS GAME


The last remaining humans have abandoned Earth in search of a new home. Your expedition of climate refugees has you venturing into the unknown on an uncharted alien planet filled with wonder and peril.

Survival requires a deep understanding of the ecosystem as your discoveries fuel your ability to invent the infrastructure, equipment, and vehicles needed to progress. They also reveal cryptic patterns all around you, tied into the ecosystem and linked to ancient alien relics. Delve deeper into the planet to unravel its secrets and determine your fate on this captivating new world.

EXPLORE


You’ve come here to make a new start for humanity, but instead discover a world teeming with intriguing life, mysterious artifacts, and strange phenomena.

You must traverse and adapt to multiple environments ranging from tranquil glades, peaceful meadows, and rolling hills, to damp muskegs, wind-sheared canyons, molten lava fields, and frigid tundras.

Scan the flora, fauna, geological and alien landmarks to understand the environment’s function and value.
Studying the patterns that emerge in your surroundings – and how they react to your presence – are key to the advancement of your expedition on this planet.

INVENT


Necessity is the mother of invention - words that have driven humanity forward throughout time.

Equipped with the Cortex OS, create bespoke designs for vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure while leveraging your creativity in a safe, virtual workshop.
From small handheld scanners to massive canyon-spanning bridges, save your inventions as blueprints to be shared and iterated on by members of your expedition.

Success on this planet is determined by your ability to engineer and materialize solutions to the challenges you encounter, so gather and use your resources wisely.

SURVIVE


Could this planet become the new cradle of human civilization?

As you explore, you encounter perilous terrain, unpredictable weather, and local fauna that is weary of your presence. Careful study of the ecosystem inspires your approach to navigating this world.

Your footprint will not go unnoticed, as the planet does not take kindly to invasive resource gathering or oppressive building projects.
Do the cryptic patterns emanating from once dormant alien ruins help or hinder your expedition?
