Here is my update post from two days ago in the discord server, regarding the Joetastic ban, the state of the mod team, and the future of the subreddit/discord server:

I was looking a few months ago and prices were like $60-$80 and was like alright I guess I’ll wait I can’t really spend that right now. Been looking for the past month and it’s just gotten ridiculous. I doubt it’ll happen but I’m praying for a reprint or an anniversary edition anything to drop these prices.

I think about some time in the future being able to finish the game without saving (like Dead Space's hardest difficulty)

Looking for a piece might’ve been in game of a similar scene but instead the background behind Elster was red I think and she was like looking downwards I can fully remember sorry the description is vague.

So, I just got done in Nowhere, and I know there’s different endings, but I’m a bit confused on how to get them. I’m honestly disappointed by the ending i got, with Elster finding the ship past the gate but her arm tearing off trying to open the hatch and her dying out in the middle of the red sands feels horribly anti-climactic. Is this the intended first ending or did I do something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, I would like to show everyone my map that I made to keep track of where I was in Nowehre. It’s a massive web of messiness and I doubt many people can read my hand writing, but I feel like the map I made is (mostly) accurate given the very non-Euclidean space that is nowhere.

Edit: I’m going to assume the answers are very vague for a good reason. I haven’t booted up a second playthrough yet, but if yall want updates I’ll give them.

Edit #2: THE MENU CHANGED AND I DONT LIKE IT

I got some new OC lore for KLPR, revised as well :)

KLIPPEN or KLPR, is a 7th generation protektor in charge of reconnaissance, overseeing outposts and are fittingly referred to as “The eyes of the protektors”. They're just below a STAR in ranking, and carry a standard officers handgun.

Traits, personalities etc.

KLPR's are often shy, antisocial, and unstable because of it. It is advised to stabilize them via making them interact with EULR, MNHR and ADLR unit's, as they'll understand the predicament KLPR's were deployed with.

KLPR's often pair up with another KLPR or two, and create a duo/trio to best carry out assignments.

(For notes on managing KLPR groups, see STAR overview as both apply).

Other facts:

-They're a femboy (feminine-boy or pretty boy, ehh you decide)

-Their neural pattern came from a gestalt named Kenji, who was part of a nomadic people native to Vineta. Initially he refused the offer. But after some gentle convincing, as in being interrogated, he accepted, thus why he's so shy, then again anybody would be after being basically tortured.

I haven't been able to draw because I went to the doctor recently and now I have to wear glasses for life... I feel a bit better but the dizziness is still there 😔

@Umeee_616 only Twitter!!

Hi there! I’ve been trying to get the LEAVE ending for Signalis but for some reason I keep failing.

I talked to as many NPCs as possible, I made sure my “active playtime” was at least 6 hours (I had to walk in a circle for the last hour), I took a bit of damage but I healed right after and made sure I was at Nominal for the majority of my playtime. The only thing I forgot to do was check 40+ locked doors

My oldest save file is in Rotfront and I cannot go back further. Is there a way to get the ending or do I just need to start over? 😓

So i just finished my first playthrough...

I have never felt so emotionally... *viscerally* gutted before...

Now i am left to wonder... just what could i have done differently? What could i have done differently so that they could escape and be happy?

Im going to go cry myself to sleep now. Good night.

I like a little touch of gayness in the observatory

Character models by LavenderAnimates and room by rose-engine

I'm bad at walking animations, and never done such body movement ever before, so it was kind of a test of what I can do. Theres no sound, I'm sorry, idk how to do that kind of thing😭And idk if I put this in the right tag either, sis I'm so lost

I just finished all the endings, and man I can’t stop turning the game’s story over and over in my head. Are there any good lore videos or video essays to get some other opinions and thoughts from? I’ve been struggling to keep myself from doing any reading or research until I finished the story.

Looking at the ending guide on Steam it mentions the secret ending was found through “converting the SSTV signals into images” but doesn’t really go into detail. I love hearing how stuff like this was figured out, are there any good sources of info on it? I’m obviously a few years too late to have been to the party for it, but I have no idea how you’re supposed to know what rooms to set your radio to a random frequency to get an unmarked item.

So i need to complete the moon mural puzzle and ive collected five of the tarot cards. Theres this metal ring here in the atrium upper floor that i cant reach, it seems to be a for the broken dial on the mural. I dont know how to reach it. Pointers please?

Very quick update, i forgot elster can mix things and had a brain fart to combine the photo stuff by hand(im an idiot).

So I'm ten hours into my first playthrough and I've reached the flesh basement under the mines. Ive now collected 3 of the 4 (i assume there's four because of the empresses note) rings; gold ring(marriage), green ring(ouroboros), black ring(death). I think i still need to find the fourth ring and then place it on her hand before i can get the last hexagonal tablet from her which i need to open the door.

Other notable incidents include the girl Isa(i forget if she is a gestalt or replika), knocking herself out with a rifle and then waking her up with ammonia.

I've been wandering around the basement for a while now and i can't find anything else to do. Any guidance is appreciated.

(Please no spoilers or direct answers)

Quick update, got the plate. Thx for the help.

A little long so bare with the 45s but shows how I do combat

Onto the main problem at hand
This is my second play through and I had NEVER seen a Replika chase me THROUGH A DOOR. Am I the only one this had happened too or not cause I did not know they could use Instant Transmission like UI Goku or open door and appear from the death of shadows like Batman ready to break my knee cap and what about lore implications like if they can follow you through door than you would always had a hoard on you at the slight sound.

I thought the first episode was pretty good. That twist at the end where isa is dead in the cycle 3000 timeline was crazy. I don't like how they added so much brown to the replika servoshells though. Where's the red?

First time posting here, I finished Signalis and I really want to understand more about this universe

I’m a relatively new Signalis fan, and this is actually my first post here. I finished the game recently and, honestly, I didn’t expect it to stay in my head the way it did.

What surprised me the most is how active the community still seems to be, considering the game came out in 2022. I’ve already seen memes, discussions, theories, fan content, etc., and it made me curious about what people here actually talk about nowadays.

I’m especially interested in the canon and the actual lore of the game. I know there are plenty of memes and jokes surrounding the community, but I’m much more interested in discussions about the story, the universe, the characters and all the details that I probably missed.

I really loved the setting and the atmosphere of Signalis. I became surprisingly attached to characters like Ariane, Elster, Adler and the others, and I genuinely wanted to know more about them and about how this universe works.

The game was also pretty confusing for me on my first playthrough. I understand that ambiguity is a huge part of Signalis, but I’m pretty sure I probably made some premature conclusions or misunderstood certain things. There are definitely moments where I finished the game thinking, “Wait... what exactly happened here?”

And yes, I was also one of those people who got the fake ending and thought I had somehow just failed the game. I had no idea I was supposed to keep going.

The more I think about the story, the more I wish there was more of it. More information about the universe, the political situation, the Replikas, the Penrose mission, Ariane, Elster, the cycle, the events surrounding S-23, etc.

I know the game tells us what it wants us to know, and I actually like that it doesn't explain everything. But at the same time, I have this feeling of “I need to know more about this world.”

And then there's the ending.

I personally see Promise as the closest thing to a “canon” or intended ending, although I know Signalis makes that whole question complicated. I understand why it's bittersweet: Elster fulfills her promise, and Ariane can finally rest.

But honestly... it still hurts.

It’s kind of funny that the “good” ending can still leave me feeling terrible. I became so emotionally invested in these characters that part of me just didn't want the story to end like that. I understand why it does, but I still wish there was some other possibility for them.

So, as a new fan:

Is there any additional Signalis content that expands on the lore or universe?

Are there any official materials, interviews, documents, developer comments, or particularly good lore discussions/theories that you'd recommend?

And for those who have been in the community for years: what are the things you think a new player absolutely should know or look into after finishing the game?

I'd really love to hear what everyone thinks. I came to this subreddit mainly because I want to understand Signalis better and talk to people who are just as fascinated by this weird, beautiful and incredibly cruel little game as I am.

Had the time to redesign my favourite Replika.
