GSig Games is a one-man indie studio currently in the process of releasing its first commercial game. Originating as a personal passion in 2009, the brand officially became a business in 2023 and embarked on the journey of remaking its past titles from the ground up: incorporating every lesson and all the skills acquired since.

From meager beginnings and ill-refined dreams, the studio's catalog of prior games include 2D arcade survival mashers, top-down shooters, and combat platformers: each building upon the previous and further defining the "trademark" GSig style of action, violence, and an intro narration that sets the tone of play. While much has certainly changed across these mired years, the heart and soul of game making has never truly died...

Returning after over a decade in dormant, development begins anew on the studio's first "classic" title, known befittingly as Annihilation.

The original game was just an arcade doomed-survival button-masher—mostly made in a single day—and pit the player against an infinite swarm of zombies. It was crude and repetetive, yet the gameplay was compelling and further expanded upon in the nearly just as ancient Annihilation 2.

While the studio's modern take on the title does keep the core foundation of its predecessors, it also vastly improves their depth and detail: offering a greater variety of weapons, enemies, synergistic abilities, and some all new mechanics to help maintain the continuous fun.
