About

From the creator of Citizen Sleeper, Signet City is a first-person fungalpunk RPG. You are a parasite, in a city where strange technologies and radical ideas are taking root. Grow into and through its inhabitants, uncover and change their stories, and witness the terminal season of the signet city.

Experience a narrative RPG from a completely new perspective. Go behind the eyes of your hosts and change their fate, one pivotal day at a time.

The Signet City is in crisis, its citizens trapped in a vortex of ecological collapse, governmental overreach and strange, rampant technologies. Witness their struggle as both tensions and waters rise.

Inspired by the turbulent 1980’s of the UK and the iconic industrial cities of the North, Signet City is a post-punk fever dream unlike anything you have seen before.

Handcrafted by developer Jump Over the Age, and drawing on black and white documentary photography, screentoned manga, and pen and ink drawings, this city pulses with monochrome beauty.
