help Heat Signature FAQ

Who developed Heat Signature?

Heat Signature was developed by Suspicious Developments, the small indie studio of Tom Francis, who previously created Gunpoint in 2013. Both games share a focus on creative player-driven problem-solving in stealth scenarios.

How does the pause-based tactical system work in Heat Signature?

Players can pause the game at any time to plan movements, aim weapons, and coordinate gadget use during spaceship boarding missions. This real-time-with-pause system allows for deliberate tactical planning similar to games like Superhot or Transistor.

Does Heat Signature have permadeath?

Yes, individual characters can die permanently, but you control a roster of recruitable mercenaries rather than a single protagonist. When one operative is killed or captured, you simply continue with another character from your roster.
