About the Game



Signals is a casual strategy game where you lead the search to repair alien devices and follow mysterious signals to find its source and what lays at the end. Your quest has been funded by the ALAN corporation who see your mission as an opportunity to spread across the galaxy.

In order to fund your mission, you must set up a network of outposts across hundreds of planets, harvesting their resources and strategically working with the market to maximize your income. Maintain a positive cash flow to ensure that all your upkeep costs are covered and your progress doesn’t come to a halt.
