Signet City is a new first-person narrative role-playing game from Gareth Damian Martin and Jump Over The Age, known for Citizen Sleeper. The game is described as “fungalpunk” and centers on the player character as a spore-born parasite. Players take root in the brains of inhabitants of Signet City, and the gameplay focuses on navigating and influencing the lives of people in the city. Multiple outlets describe the setting as a British coastal town and note that it is inspired by post-punk Britain, shaping the game’s atmosphere and themes. While the premise frames the player as an organism living off others, the available coverage emphasizes the player’s role in moving through the city’s social and personal dynamics from within that infection. Both sources present the same core concept: a first-person RPG where the player is literally parasitic, using the infected environment and its residents as the basis for interaction and storytelling. Further details about mechanics, release timing, and plot specifics are not included in the shared excerpts.
