Signal Veil Field Guide

Action RPGInvestigation adventureTrue Vision exploration

Overview and mission

Play as Fia, a fox investigator following a suspicious signal through a connected town, forest and hidden facilities. Question witnesses, reveal disguised threats and gather evidence. Follow the current objective; when asked to report back, return to Orla rather than searching for another enemy. New routes open as the investigation advances.

How to play and complete the loop

  1. Move through the current region and read the objective shown above the world.
  2. Tap the nearby interaction prompt, or press E, to talk, open chests, activate records, and use gates.
  3. Face a threat, then use Attack for a fast sword wave or Skill for a ranged signal bolt.
  4. Switch to True Vision when cyan traces suggest a disguised person, cloaked enemy, treasure, or hidden route.
  5. Finish the objective, follow the next mission, and return evidence to Orla when the story asks.

Desktop players move with WASD or the arrow keys, attack with Space or J, fire Skill with K, switch Vision with V, interact with E, and open the menu with Escape. On phones, use the joystick and the three action buttons; every visible world-interaction prompt is also a touch target. Enemies patrol and chase, while the Commander adds volleys, a line charge, and a punishable stun window. Losing all health returns Fia to a safe checkpoint instead of deleting permanent progress.

Progression and difficulty

Begin with conversations and observation, then combine exploration, combat and Neural Vision. Defeated enemies grant experience that improves your combat stats. Recovered equipment can be equipped or removed in the menu. Later areas add tougher patrols, records to decode and choices with lasting effects. After a chapter result, Continue Exploring resumes the investigation instead of restarting it.

Practical field tips

  • Pull one patrol away from a group. The melee wave is faster, but the ranged Skill is safer against brutes and neural casters.
  • True Vision costs no energy. Toggle it around cyan sparks, suspicious walls, changed NPC dialogue, and apparently empty paths.
  • Inspect every recovered item. A defensive loadout helps while learning a Boss pattern, and equipment can be removed without losing ownership.
  • During the Commander fight, keep moving through volleys, step away from the charge line, then attack during the short stun.

Developer design note

The world stays connected so clues lead back to recognizable people and places. Neural Vision changes what you can see without an energy cost; use observation to find hidden routes and threats. Touch controls and keyboard shortcuts operate the same adventure. Return to earlier places when the objective asks, and continue from your saved progress in a later session.

Player, device, and save information

Signal Veil is free to start and requires no account. Important changes—quests, EXP, levels, health, equipment, opened chests, defeated targets, map checkpoints, and story choices—save automatically in this browser; ordinary movement does not write every frame. The optional five-Diamond Signal Anchor permanently adds maximum health but is never required. Clearing site data or changing browser or device can remove or separate local progress.

Frequently asked questions

Does True Vision consume energy?
No. It can be switched freely after the prototype lens is unlocked. Use it to reveal cloaked threats, disguised characters, hidden routes, secret doors, and treasure.
Can equipment be removed or lost?
Owned equipment can be equipped or removed from the menu, and its exact stat effect is shown there. Removing an item does not delete it from the save.
What happens when Fia is defeated?
Fia returns to the latest safe checkpoint with permanent progression intact. Partial combat health and meaningful state changes are also saved automatically.
Is True Vision required for every route?
No. Toggle it when cyan traces, suspicious dialogue, hidden routes, or disguised threats suggest that ordinary vision is incomplete.
What stays after a defeat?
Fia returns to the latest safe checkpoint while permanent levels, equipment, quests, and major defeated targets remain in the local save.
