News: A new mystery will need to be solved next month and it will challenge your perception of what is real and what isn’t.

It has been revealed that The Signifier, a surreal first-person tech-noir mystery that blends investigation, experimental psychology, and artificial intelligence, will be released next month. When the vice president of the world's largest tech company turns up dead in her home, it’s up to you to examine her death using advanced technology to interpret the mind and solve the mystery. You will have to step foot into the Dreamwalker, a deep brain scanner which recreates recorded senses in the virtual world, and venture into the memories of the deceased.

Within the strange and unpredictable depths of the human consciousness, you will unravel a multi-layer narrative of power and intrigue that will leave you questioning everything. Move freely between three dimensions -- reality, the objective and the subjective - exploring different events and environments for clues, solving puzzles, and putting the pieces together to discover the truth.

Some of the key features that you will find in The Signifier include:

Three coexisting dimensions to explore: reality, objective memories and subjective dreams

Move between realms to solve puzzles, unlock new dialog branches, and unravel the mystery

A strong narrative that spirals into a complex web of real-world intrigue as surreal suspense

Become immersed in thought provoking tension, free from jump scares

Question the implications of AI, intrusion to the consciousness, privacy, and whether we see the world as it is or a subjective creation of our minds

Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think about The Signifier. It will arrive on October 15 on PC. It will then arrive on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in early 2021. There was no mention of a version for Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5. Will you be picking it up?
