SIGNALIS has won the "Animated Games Award Germany", which is awarded to the "best and most innovative animation-based computer game made in Germany", by the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film/30. Internationales Trickfilm-Festival Stuttgart (ITFS)! As illustrators, we are especially happy and honored to receive this prize.

Aus der Jurybegründung:
"Signalis besticht durch eine besonders starke Bildsprache, die den 90er-Jahre-Artstyle honoriert, sich auf diesen jedoch nicht begrenzt und gekonnt Genres mixt. Es bedient sich vertrauter Elemente und lässt sich von Popkultur inspirieren. Durch technische Innovation entwickelt sich dies zu einer modernen Ästhetik. Man spürt im Spielverlauf die Leidenschaft für das Storytelling in einer immersiven, detailliert ausgearbeiteten Spielwelt, die einen nicht nur visuell in seinen Bann zieht. Der reduzierte, aber gekonnte Einsatz von Sound und Musik unterstreicht die spannende Atmosphäre dieses klassischen Survival-Horrorgames."
