🎬 Future Games Show Reveal: Our Biggest Trailer Yet
We were thrilled to premiere our brand new gameplay trailer during the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2025! For those who caught it live, thank you for all the amazing reactions in chat. For everyone else, check out the trailer here!
We can't wait for you to experience it all firsthand when our demo launches this October!

🤝 Survival Alliance: Lost Legions Collaboration
Now for something completely unexpected...
We're thrilled to announce a collaboration with Lost Legions, another incredible indie survival game that's captured our attention (and apparently yours too – the wishlist crossover data is wild!).
While The Signal takes you to an alien world with an…enigmatic companion, Lost Legions sets you in the shadow of Rome’s greatest defeat: the Battle of Teutoburg Forest. In its aftermath, you’ll lead your scattered legionaries, manage your followers, and fight to endure on the hostile frontier.
Similar genre — totally different vibes!
This isn't about competition – it's about proving that survival games can be more than just punching trees and grinding for resources. Both our games respect your time, tell actual stories, and offer complete experiences without live service nonsense.

📅 What's Next?
The road to launch is heating up:
September: Kickstarter begins + exclusive backer playtest
October 13-20: Steam Next Fest with public demo
Later: Early Access launch!
💭 Final Thoughts
Gamescom reminded us why we're doing this. Every handshake, every demo session, every piece of feedback reinforces that there's a real hunger for single-player experiences that respect both your time and intelligence.
We survived Embracer. We survived Gamescom. Now, with your help, we're going to ship the survival game you've been waiting for.
See you on Sirenis,
The Goose Byte Team
P.S. Sirenis wanted us to add: "The portals are almost ready. I can hardly wait to meet you all... personally." We're sure that's nothing to worry about.
