Dive Into Our Updated June Playtest!

Welcome Explorers!

We’re excited to launch our updated Pre-Alpha Playtest for The Signal: Stranded on Sirenis! This version introduces our newly developed Art Direction, along with an early look at our combat systems — both key changes we’re eager to get your feedback on.

While this is still a work in progress, it’s a focused step toward refining the game’s core experience!

Trailer – A Glimpse of the New Art Direction 🎥

The Signal: Stranded on Sirenis is a single-player survival craft game set on a captivating alien planet that doesn’t want to let you go. You’ll scavenge, build, extract, and survive your way through a strange, sentient world — uncovering its purpose one step at a time. We have big plans for the story, but that’s not the focus just yet.

What’s New in This Build🧭

This Pre-Alpha Playtest gives you a focused look at some key systems and design updates. While it's not the full game, there’s still plenty to dive into. This playtest does not represent the full experience, but rather, is focused on gathering feedback on our recently developed systems.

Art & Atmosphere

• Debut of our new art direction, which defines the visual tone of the game moving forward.

Combat & Progression Steam post image

• A first pass of our combat system, designed to mix both survival and FPS elements.

• The playable region is a small slice of the Overworld, featuring cliffs, ruins, chasms, waterfalls, alien creatures (both docile and aggressive), and robotic sentries.

Playtime
