What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $13.99, set in November 2023. 27 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. $13.16 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games closest to it, SOMA ($29.99, scores 70) and Scorn ($3.99, scores 49) both come in lower.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 1,065 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 9.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
It's a survival horror game - like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, but isometric - it's spooky, there's puzzles, there's inventory management. Has a very cool aesthetic - you can see it in the trailer. Story driven - though, wrapping your head around it is tricky. The game has a strong emotional core, which should keep you hooked for the about 6-10 hours on your first playthrough. It's short and sweet, sapphic longing...
I started the game without understanding anything and I finished it without understanding anything. But now I have an existential crisis. 10/10 would erase my memories to play it again <3
If you like non linear, eldritch, beautiful and short survival horror game with great story and older resident evil esque gameplay then do not miss this. 10/10 just for the story alone.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

SIGNALIS scores 77/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1262350/signalisThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 24.
