About
Dead Signal is the second Hidden Sector Software adventure by Michael Schaffer, released free on 8 November 2026 as the sequel to The Forgotten Room. Jacob wakes aboard a failing spacecraft with pieces of his memory missing, no crew in sight, and ship systems that seem set on keeping him from the truth. You explore the ship and work out what happened to it.
It is an 8-bit Apple II game for a 65C02 machine, the enhanced IIe, IIc, or IIGS. The parser is new, and the game can save and load. The Forgotten Room was updated with the same parser and Load/Save at the same time, and the shop offers the two together as a double feature.
The download is free from Vintage Apple Computer of Illinois. This archive does not host the disk. The cover is the shop's promotional art, which Facebook labels as AI content.
