Hello, Explorers! We’ve been hard at work since the June playtest — thank you to everyone who turned out, it was a blast and your feedback is directly shaping The Signal. We’re back with a few big pieces of news:
🎮 Kickstarter Pre-Registration NOW LIVE!
We survived Embracer. We found an incredible publishing partner. Now, with your help, we’re ready to reach even higher to make The Signal the best story-driven survival craft game we can. The Signal Kickstarter campaign launches later this Summer, and you can tell your friends to register and unlock some incredible community rewards! Be sure to keep an eye out for additional details around Gamescom - we’ve got some really, really cool new additions to the game that we can’t wait to share with you!
Join our pre-launch campaign and help us hit these follower milestones:
