Gameplay Signalis has simple gameplay wise is reminiscence of the original classical survival video games like Silent Hill and the resident Evil.

The variety of the enemy is a bit limited for my taste, but it was made by two individuals, so I forgive that easily since what's available is mostly straightforward, classic and effective survival horror enemy game design.
