Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

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

The Signal is a survival crafter like no other. Your desperate search to find a missing loved one has crash-landed you on a planet. You learn this planet has made false promises to many that have come here before you, resulting in indefinite entrapment and a life of servitude -- including yours. Explore an elaborate, everchanging world that reacts to your progression and choices. Scavenge, build, extract and survive your way through a complex, interconnected biome system as you reveal the true intentions of this sentient planet -- and why it has brought you here.

SURVIVE AND EXPLORE

To survive and explore this strange planet, you’ll need to scavenge resources, craft useful items and upgrade your gear. Adapting to various environments requires the proper loadout, so prepare yourself as you investigate the strange 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.

EXTRACT AND TRANSFORM

Uncover clues about the powerful relationship between the planet and the forces that drive it. Relics with unusual properties will need to be found and returned to their original locations, but restoring balance to this planet is a treacherous task. Every ancient relic you discover causes an unpredictable transformation to the planet’s surface world. Adapt to your surroundings to safely extract the resources and items you need.

CUSTOM VEHICLES

You must traverse and plan your travels across multiple biome types, ranging from tranquil glades and rolling hills, to hot lava deserts 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 new technologies to build heavy machinery and automated processors 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. 

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 in pursuit of your lost brother – becomes.
