Narrative games told in chapters. And the tool to tell them.
After Signal is a one-person independent studio, founded by Keidegger Silva. It makes stories you play in the browser, one part at a time and in pixel art, and it builds its own editor to be able to tell them.
What we make
The first game
A serious, cinematic pixel-art adventure about a world where water, the most valuable resource, is running out, and the crisis it falls into because of it. The network that connected the treatment plants has gone silent. A signal leads you to Plant 7, abandoned for years, and it is up to you to find out what happened.
The tool
A no-code editor for telling stories in chapters. The map, the notes, the tasks, the scenes, the translations and publishing are all in one place. Chapter 1 of Who Left It On? was made entirely with it.
How we work
First comes the story we want to tell. The mechanics, the puzzles and the art are there to tell it, not the other way round.
Every scene is composed and polished patiently. Part of the art relies on AI tools, and we say so plainly. The design, the story and the decisions are our own.
No downloads, no installs. You open the page and play, on a computer or a phone, in eight languages.
The story arrives in parts. The intention is to release a new chapter every month or so, and we would rather say it that way than promise a date.
When something holds the story back, we build the missing tool. That is how Tale Rocket was born, and how it keeps growing, chapter by chapter.
Who is behind it
Experience (UX) designer and founder
For now, After Signal is one person, Keidegger Silva. He is not a programmer. He designs the chapters, writes the story, tests every scene on a computer and on a phone, and builds the tools he needs to tell it.
He loves games, telling stories and pixel art. This studio is his way of bringing the three together.
