What Happens in SIGNALIS?
Or at least, what I think happens, according to the evidence provided.
SIGNALIS is the most narratively dense video game I've ever encountered. A lot of the time, when we say writing in a game is good, it's because it's evocative or emotionally affecting. SIGNALIS does those things, but it also crafts its story with overlapping layers of meaning while offering, to its infinite credit, as little exposition as possible. What we're left with is a game that can tell a fascinating story with almost no exposition, where an image or a gesture can stand in for two dozen lines of dialog - but it isn't just vibes with no substance. There is a concrete underlying plot that uses its obscurity to draw ...

    some ling-uistic pareidolia: Leng and Ling in English are basically the same word as Long, as in the fish ling and lingcod or words like Linger and Lengthen. Linger of course has connotations of staying unwanted or past one's time. Even more tenuously there's a connection to Stephen King's "The Jaunt", in which apparently instantaneous space travel takes 'longer than you think' and can lead to eye trauma.

    Your theory is much better than anyone else's that I've heard, or at least I prefer it to everything else! One of them being that they're both just off in space and this is just some dream Ariane is having and transferring to Elster via bioresonance while they're both dying 😕 Loved the little cosplay/roleplay parts, they were very cute! This video took several more hours than the total video time across three days to watch, and it was well worth it (I had to pause and rewind severak times due to a combination of text on screen + can't focus on what you're saying at the same time + the density of information is very high at times, you just sort of have to pause to take it all in I think ahah)

    Incredible video. i played the game at release, but really had no idea how deep it went. I think that if Adler's gender represents anything, it could be an explanation for why hes more resistant to having his mind overwritten by the Elster pattern despite being noted as particularly susceptible to bioresonance-- maybe we're meant to see him as more different to elster than the other replikas (all females with light skin and dark hair just like elster).

    This was an absolutely wild experience. I have never played this game and only knew by cultural osmosis that it was a popular sci-horror game. The quality of your previous videos easily convinced me to take the 6.5 hour plunge. I was never bored and your depth of research was SO impressive. This game, with its dense network of themes and references, definitely deserves the video length. Excellent job and looking forward to more!
