Fellow Traveller, Jump Over the Age and Citizen Sleeper used the PC Gaming Show 2026 to unveil Signet City, a first‑person fungalpunk RPG coming to Steam, GOG and the Humble Store.
There is no release date yet, but the premise alone is already one of the most striking reveals of the showcase.
You Are Not a Hero. You Are a Parasite.
Signet City opens with a blunt declaration: You are a parasite.
From inside the minds of its inhabitants, players grow, influence and reshape the stories of a city on the brink.
This is a narrative RPG where you do not just observe characters. You inhabit them, alter them and push their destinies forward one day at a time.
A City Drowning in Crisis and Radical Change
The city of Signet is collapsing under ecological disaster, expanding government control and strange technologies that no one fully understands.
Its citizens are trapped in a spiral of tension and transformation, and players witness their struggles from the inside out.
Every host you inhabit becomes a window into a society mutating faster than it can adapt.
A Post‑Punk Dream Rooted in the 1980s
Signet City draws inspiration from the turbulent political and cultural landscape of the 1980s UK, especially the industrial cities of the north.
The result is a post‑punk fever dream: bleak, bold and buzzing with radical ideas.
A Monochrome World Drenched in Ink and Texture
Jump Over the Age brings a handcrafted visual style inspired by:
- Black‑and‑white documentary photography
- Screentone manga
- Ink and pen illustration
The city pulses with monochromatic detail, giving Signet City a look unlike anything else in the RPG space.
