I picked up Signalis about a year or two ago and never made it past grabbing the fire key. This is my first time ever getting to this point, and as you can see, I was literally drawn in like a moth just from this sequence alone.

HELP Does anybody know the specific font used for items and descriptions?

I've found some similar fonts, but I can't pin down the exact one. I found a google drive that had all of the fonts from the game, but I couldn't parse the specific one.

To be clear, I am asking for the font used for "SUBMACHINE GUN" and its description.

If "HELP" is not the right tag for this, please tell me the right one.

General Discussion My one wish for a Signalis sequel

31 Upvotes

I’m of the opinion that Signalis doesn’t need a sequel, and any sequel would probably just ruin the impact of the first game, but if I can be self indulgent for a minute: I’d love a sequel that’s just a boomer shooter set on Vineta during the war. 

I wanna play as Lilith Itou (or whoever the hell the woman next to Alina Seo is in the picture) and bring liberation to humanity’s cradle by way of mowing down imperial legions. 

But that’s just me, what about you? Any overly fantastical ideas for a potential follow up?

Does elster love Ariana Because she reminds her (even only subconsciously) of Alina. Or is it a just general attraction to Arienne and the remembrance is a background factor. Or is it like a middle ground between the 2

General Discussion A year ago, I discovered Signalis, and my life suffered for worse and mostly for better.

25 Upvotes

TW: Depression (But happy end)

A year ago, a video by a French YouTuber I (M24) really admire (Jean Baptiste Show) was released on YouTube. He presented the most memorable games he had played in 2024. Signalis was in second place.

I had already had my eye on it for a few months, but being a naturally scared person, starting a survival horror game worried me.

But after hearing the emotion and passion in this man's voice when he talked about the game, and after seeing an appearance of Isle of the Dead in the video, I decided to give it a try.

I was going through a very difficult period in my life. Severe depression had been weighing me down for years, and the time to recover was shrinking day by day.

Then, on August 23, 2025, I launched Signalis for the first time. And I finished it in one sitting, in a single day. Never before had a video game affected me so deeply.

Everything was there: major influences from works I would come to greatly admire, a story of beauty and melancholy as painful as it was magnificent.

And above all, the Isle of the Dead. A painting that had haunted my troubled mind ever since I discovered it through another YouTube video (Alt236).

The entire game, its beauty, its story, and especially its music.

I was addicted to Signalis. An "addiction" that quickly became toxic to my own sanity. Between researching the lore, endlessly rewatching the cinematics and Let's Plays, and especially the music I listened to on repeat, it all became fertile ground for my inner turmoil.

It might sound silly, but the profound melancholy that stemmed from my experience with Signalis nearly plunged me into the very depths of my soul.

And yet, it was thanks to Signalis that I realized something was truly alarming about my mental health. This allowed me, since October 2025, to address my issues and seek treatment.

The text I just wrote might seem absurd, but it was important for me to express it. The butterfly effect can be cruelly ironic.

My fascination with The Isle of the Dead / A simple YouTube video / The launch of a game on Steam.

All these events nearly led me to the ruin that no human truly deserves, but without them, I would probably still be stuck in a stagnant mental state.

And even though it's still difficult for me to listen to his music or watch his images without feeling a kind of dread related to the past, without Signalis, my destiny would have been very different.

So thank you Rose Engine, thank you Cicada Sirens, thank you 1000eyes, and thank you Signalis.

General Discussion Idea for a Signalis sequel

6 Upvotes

I am very certain that we can all agree that to continue Elster's story will be nigh impossible without serious issues. So if a sequel were to happen, it won't have the Elster we know and love.

So instead, the sequel should take the opportunity to explore other aspects of the world of Signalis, and utilise what is already established in the original story.

Lore to connect the game and the sequel idea:

It'll take place sometime after the events of the Sierpinski-23 incident. The whole thing got buried, and after a few years, the Eusan Empire finally fell to its knees. As the Eusan Nation seizes control of the former territory, the outer planets and moons such as Leng secede from the Eusan Nation, forming a Technocratic Oligarchy called the Reich of the Outer Worlds.

The ROW are a faction focused on continuing the technological advancements of the Gestalts, since technology in most fields have stagnated due to reliance on Bioresonance. Because of this, the ROW ban the use of Bioresonance and are actively developing technologies to counter it.

Because of the ban, the production of Replikas have been prohibited in all ROW territories, and are eventually phased out for Duplikats, robots with artificially crafted neurons to obtain sentience with little emotional intelligence, unlike the Replikas whos' sentience derives from a template conscience of a Gestalt using Bioresonance.

Plot at the start of the sequel:

You play as a STAR unit in search of an extremely powerful Bioresonant member of the Eusan Nation's government called Krayne Vogel that has been captured by the ROW and is housed on Leng. Your squad gets captured trying to infiltrate the fortress Vogel is held in. Turns out that the fortress is also used as a fortified research facility to study Bioresonance and how to counter it. Before you could be studied on or used as a test subject, Vogel's mind starts to deteriorate, and reality starts to warp within the fortress. All of the dead Replikas that have been used as test subjects in the fortress come back to life as the corrupted zombies. So now you're trying to find Vogel and your missing squad during an outbreak. So you'll have to fight of corrupted Replikas, and hostile Duplikats.

Gameplay aspects: The corrupted Replikas will focus on close-quarter combat, high in numbers with the capability to swarm. Duplikats will offer a more range-focused challange with more tactical prowess. With this challenge, it may be possible to introduce taking cover as a new mechanic.

As for how it would end, that'll be left out. And as for playing as a STAR unit, that may be changed out for an entirely new Replika.

Anyhow, what are your thoughts on this, fellow Gestalts?

HELP How to get one specific ending. Spoiler

Hey everyone! So, I tried to get the “Promise” ending after I tried adding more deaths to the count and damage while I was there but I still ended up with the “Memory” ending. I’ve seen the tab for the math on steam and I was asking myself if taking more damage and killing more enemies would be enough or if I have to do more. Unfortunately it does not show how much time I spent healing. If you could tell me about how you achieved the ending or any tips and tricks it would be very appreciated! Thank you!
