Signalis is Horrifying and Beautiful (Patreon)

I finally remembered my promise.

Easily the most taxing video I've had to make. Signalis is an endless rabbit-hole where talking specifically about why you like it opens up a treasure chest of problems due to how it presents itself. The tricks it pulls with telling its story make things difficult to talk about without starting from the beginning, and the abstract nature of its cutscenes make summarising its narrative beats impossible. So I had to go from the beginning and play most of its cutscenes in the video, making the project get longer and longer, and that was before I had to talk about the hundred documents in the game, and reading out all the important ones would have made this video even longer, and then some people asked me if I got all the literary references the game was making...

...And so on, and so on.

Overall I am happy with the video and would like to let it speak for itself. What I said in the intro is true though; this is the short version. This has been a major brainworm for over a year, and I feel a great weight off me just having this done and made. There are other brainworms there now, but Signalis was a particularly big one, due to obsessive reasons you'll probably realise when you watch the video.

Next video will be the Steam Demo Fest, but it might be later than usual, possibly coming out after the festival is over. I am exhausted and have neglected too many things in my life whilst making this video, so I'll be taking things slowly for a while. After that, we'll see. I'm definitely due a Quest to Space soon.

As always, stay safe, and I'll see you soon.
