Signs of Life — Sci-Fi Survival Sandbox Platformer

Your colony ship has been destroyed above an alien planet. Make a life out of whatever you can dig up, grow, salvage, or pull out of the local wildlife—then work out what went wrong in the first place.

A bad place to be stranded

A big 2D world built for poking around

Every new world lays out its wilderness and caves differently, while the ruins, facilities, and story locations are built by hand. Follow the main mystery, spend a night building a suspiciously elaborate house, or keep digging until something objects.

Go exploring

Cross the surface, dig through cave systems, and search places that were here long before you.

Make yourself at home

Turn ore, plants, scrap, and creature parts into tools, weapons, furniture, and building materials.

Deal with the locals

Bring guns, improvised weapons, alien technology, armor, drones, or a questionable mix of all five.

Play your way

Play alone, bring friends, or change the game
