The game is being developed by Jump Over the Age, the solo studio of Gareth Damian Martin, creator of the acclaimed 'Citizen Sleeper' series. 'Signet City' is a first-person 'fungalpunk' RPG set in a monochrome world inspired by 1980s Britain and industrial cities in northern England. Players take on the role of a fungal parasite that infects humans, navigating a city on the brink of collapse due to rising water levels, strange technology, and radical ideas. The game uses a tabletop RPG-inspired system where dice rolls determine action outcomes, and the host's emotions affect success rates. Players can acquire skills and abilities, guide their hosts, and interact with their friends and rivals while managing resources. The Steam store page is live, and the game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam and GOG.com.","whyItMatters":"The announcement extends Jump Over the Age's signature TRPG-style narrative design into a new genre premise, swapping space station sci-fi for a fungal parasite perspective in a decaying industrial city.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game is set in the 1980s and draws visual and thematic inspiration from the UK and the industrial cities of northern England, according to the Steam store page.
