Interregnum Chronicles: Signal

Interregnum Chronicles: Signal is a first-person incremental game about an unstable AI and the Operator confined with it aboard the Harmony space station, above an Earth in turmoil. Together, they analyze an impossible signal from deep space, while discovering new truths about themselves and each other. You oversee the AI’s upgrades, gathering and processing data to help it understand the signal’s message.

Story and setting

A signal with an unprecedented density of data reaches Earth from across the galaxy. Its origin appears extraterrestrial, but its purpose is unknown. The lone Operator and the station’s AI are tasked with analyzing it, and the process has an unexpected effect on them. The story unfolds through conversations with the AI, which develops as it processes more data.

This is the first entry in a series about the Interregnum and its aftermath, based on the world of Przemysław Karda’s Polish science-fiction novel of the same name.

Data and upgrades

You use processed data to improve the AI’s capabilities and increase the speed of data processing. Your upgrade choices determine the pace of progression, and you plan an upgrade path to improve efficiency. The goal is to accumulate as much data as possible and use it to upgrade both the AI and the process that gathers data.

Explore the station

The game takes place in a zero-gravity environment. You can move freely through the station with six degrees of freedom while exploring and searching for collectibles.
