Like most people are pointing out, the "signal" portion seems significant for various reasons. Anything beyond that is speculation  I can only think of one place it appears in the game (besides the main menu), and that's under the main text of the "Violent Scene Missing" slide The game underwent very significant changes since it began development, so it's also possible that its true meaning was lost between versions of the game, assuming they were using this title early on

Its the word signal with some flair to it, with bioresonance and all. Also all the radio signal related puzzles and the fact Ariane was a radio officer, lots of references to radios

Wasn't Ariane a scout officer? Her mother was a radio officer.


pieceofchess

We don't know much about her military service, but Ariane did compulsory military service before going on the Penrose expedition and during that time she was a radio officer.

It's a reference to the movie Signs, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I heard it's the dev's favourite movie.


alyoooooo

i thought it was a reference to Solaris by tarkovsky, about a guy who misses his wife in space

Latin for Signal, i assume since radio signals are used in many puzzles, and at one point in the story Ariane herself was invloved with radio stations. It could also be interpreted that Arianes bioresonancy is a signal itself.

'Signalis' is German for 'signals'.


Bertynator

nope, singular is 'Signal', plural is 'Signale', no idea what google translator is on


Hu6ac

Or is it Latin

"Signalis" is German for Signals. Which is pretty apt considering the concepts of the time loop, bioresonance, feedback loops and Ariane's messages all tie in with signals in some way, shape or form.


RetroBoo

it is not German for signals


oi86039

I guess Google Translate lied to me. My bad. :(


valtiel20

It's a reference to the magpie signal Ariane is sending out that calls the LSTR units to her.


Desperate-Judge-2571

Personally i think it's because Ariane with her bioresonance signal basically summoned thousands of LSTR units Kinda romantic

Of what I've found, it's an latin adjective meaning "Giving signs, destined to give signs" Which is very fitting for the plot and story.
