Signet City is a new 'fungalpunk' RPG from the creator of Citizen Sleeper

Article excerpt

Gareth Damian Martin, creator of the indie hit Citizen Sleeper, has announced Signet City, a new RPG that flips the protagonist script: you play as a fungal parasite navigating a dying city. The game joins a small but growing category of 'fungalpunk' fiction, speculative worlds where fungal life forms take center stage rather than serving as mere antagonists. Martin's track record with atmospheric, morally ambiguous narratives suggests the project will prioritize narrative depth and thematic exploration over traditional gameplay mechanics. The announcement marks the developer's return to game design after the success of their earlier work.
