Bedroom
The Bedroom is a room viewed in the first-person perspective. It is first visited in the prologue of SIGNALIS.
Prologue[edit]
The King in Yellow is found on the desk of the room. The prologue ends with Elster picking up this book, leading into Chapter 1: Synchronicity.

The national flag.

Faded text on the walls. I can't make out what it used to say.

I'd rather not turn it off.
Rotfront[edit]
After exploring Rotfront and completing the North Wall Puzzle, Elster enters the Bedroom a second time. Depending on the player's actions, it may be possible to unlock the safe and pick up the Flower inside, in which case the game will end. Otherwise, The King in Yellow may be picked up once more, allowing Elster to enter the next room.

Trivia[edit]
- To the right of the flag, several numbers can be seen scrawled on the wall. If one decodes them with an A1Z26 cipher, the following message is found:
KOENNTEN WIR DOCH NUR EWIG SO LEBEN WIE JETZ
Translated, this means "IF ONLY WE COULD LIVE LIKE NOW FOREVER". [1]
- The computer keyboard in this room is a Japanese Katakana keyboard combined with some German text.
- The left wall's doorframe being colored in red may be a reference to the "forbidden rooms" shown in the 2001 Kiyoshi Kurosawa film "Pulse"/"Kairo" (a confirmed inspiration for SIGNALIS by Yuri Stern)[2]
