this is awful

I enjoy horror in terms of aesthetics and story, but I really really can't do jumpscares. Should I play this game? I want to play it because it looks pretty cool and yuri, but I'm a huge pussy

>>4231980
The game doesn't have anything that jumps out at you and goes boo, the closest thing is running near a zombie that was only playing dead and it getting back up.
Play it you pussy.

>>4231980
its less jump in your face horror and more body horror and a few other things I don't really want to spoil you on

>>4231997
>>4232004
Oh nice, I can totally do that. Thanks for the heads up. One more question... Should I wait for a sale or is the 20 bucks worth it

>>4231959
You're wrong

>>4232035
You'll get about 6 to 8 hours of gameplay plus an unforgettable experience that will haunt you for years, so judge for yourself if that's worth 20 bucks or waiting.

>>4232035
while it can be worth the twenty, the fact the steam summer sale is only around two weeks away you might as well just wait since the game will still be there but cheaper, that being said I wouldn't recommend lurking this thread on anything related to it since you will likely get spoiled and the best experience for this is going in blind

>>4232739
Alright nice, be back in a couple of weeks

Why can't I be a girl

>>4242785
You should keep that to yourself

It hasn't even been out for two years.

>>4252907
Yeah and?
I'm gonna be thinking about Signalis 20 years from now.

>>4252922
Generous of you to assume you will still be alive by then.

>>4252930
I live in Texas so you're right, I'm gonna die from global warming soon.

>>4230852
Cringe overload.

>>4253424
The good kind of cringe.

>>4253464
Absolutely not. It sucks major ass.

>>4253528
Well I liked it and that's all that matters because I'm this universe's protagonist!

>>4249856
Janny pressed the wrong button.

Why does a robot need such a fat butt? extra batteries storage?

>>4255358
Robos are heavy, they need a strong center of gravity.

I know this looks like shilling, but trust me it ain't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtTe86wHiW8
The channel and their website has more stuff.

>>4255358
It's for a number of purposes. Along with what >>4255379 said, there's also, in descending order;

1. Propaganda.
2. Morale.
3. A place to store a Replika's "junk" folder, in order to save headspace.

What do you make of this?
>>4261278

>>4261560
I think the story is simple, functional, and obscure. Which isn't a problem. It's not unusual for characters to be set in motion without pausing to explain their motivations to the audience, especially with a protagonist as stoic as Elster. You piece it together as you go and there are no major twists withheld this way besides maybe the nature of the promise. Or that she's a gay robot. But that's a nice twist and the other is payoff to the foreboding you've known all game.

I do have a problem with the "Are you still looking for answers where there are only questions?" philosophy that encompasses the writing. Signalis is one of those stories where you can reach a comfortable understanding so long as you aren't willing to go too deep. Past a certain point the more you push the less things add up. It doesn't feel like we're missing a few key puzzle pieces and it would all click together, it's more like realizing these pieces go to different puzzles. There's a few coincidences the plot leans on with no justification hiding even if the mysteries hint at them, like Alina Seo. The game scatters odd hints and references for you like a treasure hunt but most ultimately add little besides flavor. The kind of things you can speculate endlessly and make hours long youtube analyses for but years later the community still can't come to an agreement and settles on maybes and somehows. Which can be fun but also unsatisfying.

But that's my personal preference on writing and I won't claim to be an expert on the game. Deep down it remains a plot about a robot hunting for her wife in a miserable universe. It's more about the atmosphere and presentation than the concrete details, and the game does excel there. It's simply a short story, not a novel. In the context of anon's contention, I think this comes down to expectations over what the "best story" should be. I can completely understand why someone would want a more conventional narrative to hold that title.

>>4261657
That's a whole lotta words to say nothing at all, a fine metaphor for Signalis.
The story is piss in the wind, I'm here for the cute fanart, nothing else.

>>4261560
If it ain't a news blurb about a game coming out or a sale there's nothing worth reading in the yuri game thread. That place is just /vg/-tier autists desperate to de-legitimize everything.

LSTR AND ARIANE SLOPPY GAY SEX!!!!

>>4264369
It basically has no identity of its own since it copies Blame/Gits/EVA/SH so blatantly

On the upside, Blame! +Yuri has only four images on one of the boorus and....
OH MY GOOOOOOOOD

Remember your promise

is the game worth buying? i have a gc i havent used yet?

>>4324687
The game is 2 years old and still gets active movement on this board so yes

But honestly it's legit good even if it wasn't gay, the lesbian focus is just icing on a rich cake

>>4324716
Come for the yuri, stay for the cosmic horror and yuri.

Did they get toasted?

>>4332543
this meme of making Elster brown is almost as bad as the attempts to make Ariane into a tranny
It's tiresome and I want it stop

>>4335517
It's a 2 year old single player game. Are you retarded?

>>4335520
I thought sis said it ironically but then I wondered where that may have came from. Maybe some youtuber claiming it is dead or a social media user having a mental meltdown. It sure is a random comment to post here.

>>4335522
It's a tool that tracks active steam players and only steam players. Even if anon wants to be a smug fuck about it, the game is released on PS and Xbox platforms as well as the Microsoft store, GOG, and Epic stores on PC. So maybe it's double or triple the count. Not that it matters since it is a 2 year old offline single player game, so who gives a fuck

>>4339056
Damnit Ariane, no NTR

>>4339487
is it really ntr when she is pretty much becoming part of some hivemind

Funny thing is ..
because it low cost like nothing and they can claim they did finished the game before rot-front (about 8 hours)
first streamer and vtube the not many peoples see on YouTube play signalis like.. every single days.
Yes, girl play video games and be serious to finished the game is a thing you not see it everyday.
This game still keeps going.. strong.

>>4342063

Why do the space yuri get the worst fates?

>>4343154
Space is scary and dangerous so it naturally lends itself to horror and if you put lesbians in space they have an increased chance of despair.

>>4343154
>>4343165

>>4353096
You are alright, sis. Bless ya and Amen. Have a happy new year.

How do you think Ariane and LSTR got intimate considering the latter's robotness

>>4377288
I don't care what anyone thinks or says, Replikas have boobs and vaginas.
They eat and have toilets so they must have some kind of holes.
They also have dressers in their rooms so they wear clothes.
So in summery, the normal way.

>>4377338
It just means they don't pay attention.
Replikas feelings as any human does.
It's already accepted as fact in Signalis, but the authoritarian no romance rule is a reflection of our own history of homophobia in 1930's Russia.

>>4377675
What reason did the Reds have for being homophobic?

>>4377691
Believe it or not, no matter what, it was incredibly common to be homophobic across basically all ideologies and religions no matter how progressive or revolutionary they appeared

>>4377691
They can give any reason they want, but it always comes down to repopulation and nepotism assurance.

>>4377675
Why a reflection of Russia? East Germany legalized Homosexuality in the 1960s.

>>4377721
On paper, sure. But homosexuality was still heavily stigmatised. It was a favoured tactic of the Stasi to use it as blackmail to "recruit" new informants.

What is the rule of six?

>>4379317
You have to call Escargo Express to manage your inventory

>>4379317
when the game first launched you were only able to have six inventory slots, the rule of six was a narritive way of justify it along with showing how Eusan is an authoritarian shithole

>>4382064
I love those two dorks.

Cute! Cute!

This would be great were it not for the stupid faces and OC donut steel

>>4385106
The same artist draws ariane as a tranny with stubble, or holding a tranny flag. It's tiresome.

>>4385264
>>4385106

>>4385960
You're on the wrong board, you'd be more comfortable if you left.
Bitch.

>>4332743
>>4385264

It's s not a popular thing atm but fuckkkk i hope it never will be one especially ugly ass tranny ariane. It's never enough for these people

>>4385964
Seconding this.
Bitch.

>>4386116
>>4385964
I'm not even the original poster. You're all just mean.

>>4386135
Perhaps the artist shouldn't try to coopt ariane to reinforce their own egotistic delusion. That would make it not yuri, after all.

>>4386135
Damn right I'm mean, now fuck off bitch.

>>4386138
Frankly that's some super gross shit, litteral lesbian erasure

>>4386360
Danbooru/gelbooru keep it up for some reason, despite rejecting perfectly quality art. Nothing quite like someone projecting their own issues onto fictional characters.

Never expected so much art over two years on.
Game still hurts a little.

>>4386508
>Nothing quite like someone projecting their own issues onto fictional characters.

That's the basis for most art

>>4386138
>Perhaps the artist shouldn't try to coopt ariane to reinforce their own egotistic delusion
You can do that and share in the proper circles.
This isn't such a place.
Whoever did he first post should have known that before posting.

>>4386899
I see other brown washing in other /u/ threads and it's insane that some people here like it

>>4387009
I don't understand how people feel the need to change someone else's characters. Elster's a robot, is that not 'diverse' enough?

>>4386585
In this case, it's taking someone else's character, claiming they're an MTF tranny and drawing them shaving a beard and worse. This is the 'artist' doing a 'omg it's literally me' on someone else's work purely to feed their own fantasy, not someone making a work of art based on their own experiences and issues.
Ariane isn't a tranny.
>>4386899
And sadly it has leaked out into places and we all have to suffer it, because god forbid signalis remain /u/.

>>4387090
In troons cases they simply don't care. You see it all the time. Like do you know how often Samus is treated like that?? Many such cases!!

>>4387090
>Elster's a robot,
'Android' but doesn't that make it actually possible to swap skins?
We already the skin comes off.

>>4387108
*KNOW*

>>4386899
>>4387009
Meds

>>4387108
Possible, but Eusan clearly made all replikas use standardised parts. They all have the same eye, skin and hair colour to the point Elster uses a standarised eye she finds on site, because they're all mass produced by a communist society that sees no need for 'customisation' beyond what's necessary to maintain their persona. Only Falke gets anything unique.
Every other replika is absolutely interchangable, replacable and disposable. Just like the gestalts.
And androids are a class of robots.

>>4387155

>>4223494

Meds, faggot.

Loving your Elster may void her warranty

>>4387812
Ariane did not read the EULA

>>4388041
7-8 years on a penrose ship
did not read the mission envelope

>>4388485
Wow one of the team members is a troon on the game about a female presenting android rescuing her biological female girlfriend

>>4388487
Which female presents the android?

>>4391769
>kiwi bird
Lel

Still alive?, elster.

>>4409257
I've seen at least 3 OC donut steel characters for Signalis, are we the Sonic of lesbians??

>>4410250
Maybe... I mean, evn the devs of Tarkov of all games make Signalis-themed shitposts once on a while.

(And BTW, those aren't OCs, they're characters from a VN named Class of 09, which also has its yuri fandom despite the canon parts being toxic as fuck.The entire series are pretty much Mean Girls written by South Park)

>>4410272
holy SHIT I thought I recognized their hair, this is amazing hahahaha

cry

>>4386137
Needs to reboot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri8EP9cH-Cw
Remember...

So only two people worked on this game?

>>4424527
Yuri Stern/Alex Zwerger, and Barbara Wittmann.
It had an extremely troubled development cycle, started as something else entirely [side scrolling exploration of alien worlds], remade a couple times because their professor told them it wasn't very good, in terms.
Zwerger did the coding, graphics and such, iirc.
The music was done by two third party artists, 1000 eyes and Cicada Sirens.
The oldbeta stuff is janky, but it's offtopic so I can't really post it.

I kinda wonder if Isa had a thing for Erika.

>>4428525
Amuses me people can't decide if Ariane's uniform has a skirt or is a jumpsuit, and whether or not the shoulder piece is seperate.

Maybe we should let the thread die, it's had its run.

It was nice.

>>4437151
Yeah, yeah it was.
I should play the ost on my AT.
Have something noncanon.

Have this as well.
My folder of signalis material hit 2gb, I think it's time to stop.
