Observer is equal parts neo-noir detective game and psychological horror.

The game is set in Poland in the year 2084 after a digital plague has laid waste to the country, killing thousands.

Our protagonist, Daniel - portrayed by Blade Runner star, Rutger Hauer - is an Observer; a specialised detective who can hack citizens minds to obtain evidence, essentially making interrogations redundant. Unsurprisingly, it’s an occupation that regular citizens have a liberal amount of distrust and disdain for.

When Daniel receives a call from his estranged son one day, he traces the call to a rundown apartment block and heads there to investigate.

Besides, Rutger Hauer voicing the protagonist, Blade Runner’s influence on Observer is plain to see and navigating the squalid tenement building and apartments evokes the same grimy aesthetic as the classic film.
