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.”

“If you enjoyed the base building in Fallout 4 or the feeling of stepping out onto an unknown world in No Man’s Sky, The Signal is probably worth checking out.”

About This Game

Uncover the mysteries of an alien planet in this open world survival craft game. Gather resources to craft equipment, buildings, and vehicles to understand, outwit and ultimately overpower the mysterious forces that rule a planet where nothing is as it seems.

A NEW WORLD

You are a space explorer, searching for habitable planets where humans can settle. You receive a message from a location that doesn’t exist on any galactic maps. It’s an invitation to a planet that seems too good to be true! As you approach, your ship’s controls are overtaken and you crash land. Can you survive long enough to escape whoever - or whatever - is controlling this place?

SURVIVE AND EXPLORE

Your ship is destroyed – so you’ll have to build a new one if you want to leave. The atmosphere is toxic – this is not the safe place you expected. Craft consumables and upgrade your gear so you can investigate the ancient ruins and crash sites scattered across the planet. Could there be other survivors here? Survival-craft your way to safety, as you learn about new technologies and resources.

INVENT AND BUILD

Necessity is the mother of invention - words that have driven humanity forward throughout time. While player progression is driven by exploration – your creativity and ingenuity as an inventor will unlock upgrades and more complex fragments for building and crafting your creations. Manage and maintain your resources and power networks as you build larger and more meaningful infrastructure projects.

CUSTOM VEHICLES

You must traverse and adapt to multiple biomes, ranging from tranquil glades and rolling hills, to wind-sheared canyons and frigid tundra. Physics and environmental properties all play a role as you fabricate customized vehicles using our in-game vehicle creation workshop.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Unlock alien technologies to build heavy machinery and robot mules that make resource gathering easier. But machines need power! Manage energy storage and generation to keep everything up and running. Enjoy sandbox-style gameplay or focus on the campaign… just remember to keep the lights on. 

FEAR THE NIGHT

Strange predators and unusual entities are more active during the night. Strategically place floodlights and other defenses around your base to avoid the curious creatures and aggressive predators that lurk in the darkness. 

UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY

Can you uncover the unknown forces that power the planet? Will you escape from its clutches? Why did it draw you here in the first place? The closer you get to solving the mystery, the more unpredictable this planet – and the signal source you are chasing – becomes.
