The Director's Cut Update which launches today opens the door to the ultimate experience of The Signifier. From the outset of development, we set our sights on creating an experience able to completely immerse you in a mind-bending story. The game plays on exuberance for advances in technology turned to deeply unsettling confrontation with objective memories and subjective responses to personal experiences, creating a unique blend of dramatic and atmospheric tension that only increases as you play. Fictional advanced AI-assisted experimental psychology provides the doorway into surreal reconstructions that blur the lines between real and perceived, memory and dream. Whether your first playthrough or a return, the Director's Cut swallows you into this world only to be spit out at the end needing time to digest and understand. Get to know the characters better with expanded dialog, dive d…

- More Signifier in the works - 18 December 2020
Hi! I'm David, developer of The Signifier. I have exciting news to share with you regarding the future of the game! But first, let me share some backstory with you: The Signifier is our first game at Playmestudio. The concept started a long time ago. We wanted to tackle serious themes like the human mind and AI from a unique, interactive angle, in a way where narrative and gameplay were completely intertwined. Instead of two separate aspects -- story one, gameplay the other -- all facets of the experience contribute to the narrative. We played with a lot of concepts and built several prototypes until we arrived at a fun concept of mind exploration, able to carry narrative weight (objective/subjective states) and deliver a compelling visual style. Being our first game, we aimed for high goals that made for a challenging journey. We had experience from previous CG and game jobs, but relea…
