Dead Signal

Dead Signal is a first-person simulation game with horror elements. It was developed by Reflect Studios, known for the Welcome to the Game series.

Plot

Dead Signal has us working on the darkweb for a mysterious employer, The Shade. The player must keep watch through hacked cameras, searching for events that could prove of interest to customers.

Mechanics

The basic gameplay of Dead Signal is relatively simple - we must observe twenty cameras and report every change we've noticed. Our employer imposes an hourly limit on us, so we must always be vigilant. Our equipment is prone to malfunctioning, forcing us to head to the rooftop to reset the connection.

We'll also need to occasionally deliver packages to our neighbors, meaning we'll need to leave the apartment from time to time.

Observing our surroundings is crucial, as our job's not very safe. Each time we leave our apartment, we risk uninvited visitors we'll need to hide from.
