Résumé

The Signifier est un jeu d'aventure tech-noir et mystérieux. Explorez le monde réel et entrez dans les royaumes inconscients de l'esprit de la victime. Utilisez la technologie pour trouver des indices, résoudre des énigmes, démêler des couches de dialogue et découvrir la vérité.

Scénario

Lorsque la vice-présidente de la plus grande entreprise technologique du monde est retrouvée morte dans son appartement, on vous demande d'enquêter sur ses derniers souvenirs pour découvrir ce qui s'est réellement passé...
Vous êtes Frederick Russell, un expert en IA et en psychologie, et le principal chercheur à l'origine d'un scanner cérébral expérimental appelé Dreamwalker. Sa technologie controversée permet d'explorer les sens enregistrés et les domaines inconscients de l'esprit.
Dans un monde à l'aube d'une révolution de l'IA, vous naviguerez dans le monde profond et surréaliste de la psychologie humaine et apprendrez de ses ténèbres.
Vous allez défier le langage abstrait de l'inconscient où tout peut être interprété.
The Signifier est un jeu d'aventure à la première personne, de type techno-noir, avec une narration à plusieurs niveaux qui s'enfonce dans un réseau complexe d'intrigues du monde réel et de suspense surréaliste...

Pouvez-vous trouver la vérité... dans un monde subjectif ?

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 is an intriguing and enjoyable narrative-driven game that benefits from proper pacing and discovery mixed with a very interesting setting and environments.

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.
