Signs of Life is a sci-fi survival sandbox platformer with a combination of procedurally generated and hand-crafted content. You'll explore mysterious locations, Mine blocks for resources, and meet strange (and some familiar) creatures, some of which don't even want to kill you and eat your corpse. Along the way, you'll be able to craft armor, weapons, gadgets and more to assist you in surviving in an inhospitable environment.StorySensing that an apocalyptic war was imminent, the United Nations executed a last ditch plan to save what they could of the human race. 2 crafts were launched, a massive colony ship called the Hephaestus and a smaller, faster scout ship called the Hermes. The destination was a recently discovered earth-like planet with the potential to harbor life located roughly 18 light years away. The Hermes reached the planet first in order to establish a presence in anticipation of the arrival of the Hephaestus.
4 years later, as the Hephaestus approached its destination a faint signal was detected from a nearby asteroid. Against their better judgement, the crew of the Hephaestus decided to investigate, and in doing so set in motion a chain of events that would ultimately lead to their destruction.
The good news is, you managed to survive by hitching a ride on a small escape pod just in the nick of time. The bad news is, everyone you knew and loved is dead, you have nothing but the clothes on your back, a standard issue multi-function wrist laser and a faulty artificial intelligence companion named AGIS. Oh, and the human race is probably doomed. Probably.Features

Current State of DevelopmentSigns of Life is currently in Alpha. We feel like we've put together a fun, satisfying experience that will allow us to get wider feedback while we complete the rest of the game.
Right now our first priority is making sure that the content we have in-game is as bug-free, balanced, polished and fun as possible based on feedback from you folks. We have a significant prologue/tutorial planned, as well as significant content beyond what is currently playable, so the sooner you get involved the more of an effect you'll have on the final game. We deal in hard science, and in working very closely with our personal science advisor at Sweet Dog Studios, that tends to lead to results.We are still very much in development, and we would like you to join us in shaping the game from here on out. Your feedback is vital to us, so don't be shy =)Caveats/Issues
- Some sound effects are missing, but we are actively working on filling them in.

Reviews and ratings
This is exactly what I want to say. About what? Nobody knows about this game.
Signs of Life is a quiet project that does not shout about itself that it is special and unusual. But damn, this game is awesome. I want many people to know about her. StarBound disappointed me, but this game gave me hope. The game won't show you what goes where. When alien temples were added here, no one but me could help me figure them out, and it’s very cool, because it’s realistic. Just look at the character animation alone! There are many different gadgets, weapons, armor, there are shields, and where you point with the mouse, it will turn it in that direction, which is very unusual for games of this genre. There may not be so many enemies, there are hardly 20, but they are all different and not alike. The … Read full
Вот, именно об этом я и хочу сказать. О чем? О том что про эту игру никто и не знает.
Signs of Life — это тихий проект, который не кричит о себе, что он особенный и необычный. Но черт, эта игра крута. Я хочу что бы о ней узнали многие. StarBound меня разочаровал, а эта игра подарила надежду. Игра не покажет тебе что да куда. Когда сюда добавили инопланетные храмы, никто кроме меня не мог мне помочь разобраться с ними, и это очень круто, ведь реалистично. Чего только стоит одна анимация персонажа! Здесь много разных гаджетов, оружия, броней, есть щиты, и куда ты покажешь мышкой, в ту сторону он его и повернет, что очень необычно для игр подобного жанра. Врагов может и не так много, едва ли наберется 20, но они все разные и не похожи друг на друга. Единственный минус, на который бы я обрати… Read full
