Serafini Productions is developing a third-person survival horror game for all current-generation platforms, which not everyone can achieve.

Signal Veil is a classic survival horror game with a strong focus on psychological terror, emotional storytelling, and a 1990s anime-inspired aesthetic. The story follows Aki Mizuno, a teenage girl whose mother mysteriously disappears, leaving behind a cellphone with supernatural abilities as a final gift. Through this device, Aki confronts creatures born from emotional trauma and hidden memories while investigating a series of disappearances and uncovering the truth about herself at Nishikawa High School.

The cellphone vibrates and emits unusual sounds whenever spiritual presences or lingering memories are nearby, and it displays interference. It serves as Aki’s primary tool for detecting enemies before they fully manifest, identifying corrupted areas, and revealing invisible clues and signals. Hostile entities can be fought directly, but only after they have been exposed through the spiritual system. Before they become vulnerable, they must be disturbed by the phone’s flash, provoked to reveal themselves, or forced to expose their spiritual weak points. Each encounter requires observation, timing, and careful resource management rather than brute force alone.

Aki must carefully manage her limited resources, which include medicine, key items, and mystical weapons. Her emotional stability is also constantly threatened by hostile entities, corrupted locations, and traumatic events. As her mental state deteriorates, her perception of reality becomes distorted, altering the environment and enemy behavior. Players explore the halls and facilities of Nishikawa High School, which initially appears ordinary but gradually transforms under the influence of supernatural forces. Each location is designed to build suspense, conceal secrets, and encourage careful observation as players uncover the school’s hidden mysteries.

Signal Veil is coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, but the release date is unknown.
