Samenvatting

The Signifier is een verhaalgedreven tech-noir mysterieus avontuur. Verken de echte wereld en betreed de onbewuste gebieden van de geest van het slachtoffer. Gebruik technologie om aanwijzingen te vinden om puzzels op te lossen, lagen van dialoog te ontrafelen en de waarheid te vinden.

Verhaallijn

Wanneer de vice-president van het grootste techbedrijf ter wereld dood wordt aangetroffen in haar appartement, wordt jou gevraagd haar laatste herinneringen te onderzoeken om erachter te komen wat er echt is gebeurd...
Jij bent Frederick Russell, een expert in AI en psychologie, en de belangrijkste onderzoeker achter een experimentele diepe hersenscanner genaamd de Dreamwalker. Zijn controversiële technologie maakt het mogelijk de opgenomen zintuigen en onbewuste gebieden van de geest te verkennen.
In een wereld die aan de vooravond staat van een AI-revolutie, navigeer je door de diepe en surrealistische wereld van de menselijke psychologie en leer je van haar duisternis.
Je trotseert de abstracte taal van het onbewuste waar alles kan worden geïnterpreteerd.
The Signifier is een first-person tech-noir mysterieus avontuur met een meerlagig verhaal dat zich in een complex web van echte wereld intriges en surrealistische spanning spiraalt...

Kun jij de waarheid vinden... in een subjectieve wereld?

The Signifier is perhaps one of the first truly innovative games in the adventure / crime / thriller / cultism / sci-fi / (mild) horror genreThe Signifier is perhaps one of the first truly innovative games in the adventure / crime / thriller / cultism / sci-fi / (mild) horror genre with a completely unique experience and story. What it does exceptionally well is using AI in a way that makes it believable both in terms of AI-generated content and narrative. Want to dig through someone's thoughts and dreams? As a contracted private investigator? Yes, this is exactly how I would imagine an AI to interpret complex brain signals in order to make visuals and the absurdities that would follow. Horrors, fear and voyeurism combined with a narrative that spurs empathic feelings makes a great base for understanding other people in general. The game lets you explore this through different dimensions - each voicing different perspectives - you the player, targets objective and finally the targets subjective. All in all it is a solid 8hour adventure and right now a complete steal at Steam.The negatives:* Sometimes it was difficult to progress and know what to do with the keys aka "raw data"* A few immersion killing invisible walls ​This game is a small-studio produced marvel and deserves way more appreciation than what it has received so far. All I want now is a sequel.

The central mystery is not really resolved and the memories it chooses to showcase have little bearing on the SF story. The ending is also quite abrupt and unsatisfying, framing the whole experience like an unnecessary prequel to SOMA.

The Signifier is visually creative and quite a remarkable experience that ropes you into its mystery and keeps you guessing long past its rushed ending. It uses visual creativity that comes with the very concept of memory and dream exploration and creates some unique puzzles. While at times it came off as disorienting, those moments were in the minority and still kept me wanting more, flaws and all. Consider checking out this game the next time you’re looking for a mystery.

The Signifier has all the conceptual elements required to deliver a great experience. The world intrigues and engages, the personal relationships have potential, the brain scanning idea opens up a lot of gameplay possibilities. The game never quite reaches that potential but it’s still great to see such solid foundations for an indie title. Gamers who love immersion and emotional experiences should dive deep into the memories and dreams The Signifier offers, even if the gameplay is a little limited and the ending fails to live up to the initial excitement. And I truly hope that a sequel or a spin-off is in development to take advantage of all the solid groundwork that the developers created.
