Paranormal investigation RPG HellSign enters Steam Early Access in November

Ballistic Interactive's supernatural investigation RPG HellSign is a game that, regrettably, had completely slipped under my radar until it spirited into my inbox earlier today. Which is a shame because it sounds wonderful - and also happens to be heading to Steam Early Access on November 7th.
