Goose Byte :

Announced last August, The Signal has already received accolades, with early onlookers describing the game as “No Man’s Sky meets Fallout” (PCGamesN). The Signal looks to bring a fresh perspective to the survival genre, focusing on creativity, narrative building and a touch of moral quandary to your gameplay. To succeed in this world, you must decide whether you will bend nature to your will or work with it to create a utopia.
 
The latest playtest offers the public an opportunity to push the limits of the pre-alpha. Experimenting with the latest systems which have been added to the game; including capsules, which allows you to do everything from instantaneously chucking down a hoverbike, to projecting a bear into space. The test will run from 23rd May 9AM EST to 6th June 9AM EST. Check out the full list of the latest features to test further below.
