Signalis Wins “Best Debut” And “Best Audio Design” At German Game Awards

Signalis is a notable indie entry that recently received awards for “Best Debut” and “Best Audio Design” by German Game Awards. The entry combines classic horror elements and an equally dystopian future, and it blew off with a positive reception upon release last year. The team has celebrated the event alongside happy fans that are also pleased with the awards for the notable entry. The studio’s first title has proven to be really popular.

Still can't quite believe we managed to win "Best Debut" at the German Game Awards – an incredible honor.
SIGNALIS started as our very first video game project – we had to learn everything along the way. We had a vision and tried to grow to make it reality. Thank you for playing! https://t.co/nAVMoweRVp

The first vision by the small team of developers brewed into something enchanting that has affected a wide array of people with its charm. The tale told by the female protagonist in the addicting entry takes you through a bundle of emotions, and the superb choice of audio also adds to the spice of the game. Hence, Signalis has also been awarded the best audio design award by the German Game Awards, with the dev celebrating the occasion.

Incredibly honored that SIGNALIS has won "Best Audio Design" at the German Game Awards!
Audio was the most collaborative effort of the game, and wouldn't have been possible without @1e0y0e0s, @CicadaSirens and @GidonWolff's incredible work. https://t.co/v2RQCtkhrG

The small yet robust community of the entry banded together to sing praises, as many users pointed out how Signalis has mesmerized them with its gameplay and audio. The third-person shooter elements blended with a top-down 2.5-dimensional perspective prove to be a gratifying venture, and its storyline is also very attractive to the users that rated the game high. If all else fails, the audio of the entry is enough to grip you.

It’s a job well done! I cannot sing praises for this game enough. It might sound weird considering the genre but this year has been really tough on me both physically and mentally. Signalis and its soundtracks are one of the few things that kept me from falling apart,” said one Twitter user praising the entry.

Signalis takes inspiration from a variety of horror games; it combines the safe rooms concept from the Resident Evil games and are remnants of the Silent Hill franchise sprinkled throughout the alluring experience. One of the eXputer’s writers thinks that Signalis is the best Silent Hill title since Silent Hill 3 happened all those years ago.

The ideal amalgamation of Resident Evil’s survival horror with Silent Hill’s psychological horror has earned it two awards only after a year since its release. To add more flavor, the devs released a physical version of the entry for the new experience for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch earlier this year. The physical edition also included a lenticular memory collectible. The physical version of Signalis is available to be bought for interested users.

Signalis is among the best survival horror video games lately that was birthed out of the relationship between rose-engine and Humble Bundle. The single-player title is currently available on a slew of various platforms, PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
