10 Best Video Games Set In A Single Night

10. Observer

One way to really get players into the mindset of your cyberpunk futuristic game is to hire Rutger Hauer, of Blade Runner fame, to voice the main character. Bloober Team did just that in their 2017 release, stylized as ">observer_". Playing as Detective Daniel Lazarski who uses his cybernetic augmentations to act as a police Observer - someone who can hack into people's minds in order to interrogate them.

The game starts with Lazarski sitting in his car daydreaming during a rainy night, when we gets a call from his estranged son, Adam.

Lazarski heads to a tenement building in a slum district of Krakow, Poland known as The Stacks. After investigating several murders, possibly including his own son's, Lazarski comes out of The Stacks in either of the two endings while it's still dark.

Considering the whole game can be played in a 4-5 hour period, if you decide to pick up the upgraded and expanded re-release Observer: System Redux, just imagine you're investigating in real time for an extra, added kick to the psychological techno-horror.
