"What is the worth of a replica, a copy of a copy?"

This week, Rick is joined by Ben (Play Along Podcast) to discuss Signalis, a 2022 survival horror game that pays homage to the influential PS1 era of the same genre. Signalis is a game that seeks to provoke both feeling and thought, boasting a sprawling narrative that is not interested in giving definitive answers to in-universe lore. As is so often the case, though, these clear-cut answers are anything but the point. Join us as we examine the game's central questions and extrapolate them to our lives off of the screen, discuss aesthetics and vibes, and much more. Please enjoy!
