Signalis is Lovecraftian Horror perfected. But how does Signalis nail the Lovecraft Horror Game vibe and themes while making a perfect survival horror game? Well it’s not just a PS1 throwback game. Although it does use the visuals and sound design of the PSX Revival to its advantage, the themes, storytelling, and meaning in Signalis solidify it as a Lovecraftian masterpiece. The cyberpunk retro-aesthetic survival horror game by rose-engine harkens back to classic survival horror like Resident Evil and Silent Hill while also incorporating nods to Junji Ito, Event Horizon, The Shining, and of course Lovecraft. Lovecraftian horror is hard to get right in the video game medium and so many have tried (Bloodborne, Returnal, Darkest Dungeon) but none of them get it quite as right as Signalis. While something like Source of Madness does a great job aesthetically, the gameplay and story of Signalis really set it apart from it’s Eldritch Horror Games counterparts and how to do cosmic horror right. Plus there's LGBTQ love! Hope you enjoy the video essay!
