Not everyone gets this bug but it’s easy enough to find people complaining about it. Since the game enforces a one save file only system, I had to restart. I got about halfway through the game before I got hit by a bug that disabled the alternative vision modes and the user interface to your own implants. The hardest part is usually just figuring out which element of the scene the game wants you interact with in order to progress and that can be a bit of a pixel hunting exercise. If you explore everywhere, you can pick up collectibles and understand more of the story, but everything else is mandatory for progression. There are a couple of optional side quests but apart from that, the game is entirely linear. There is some puzzle solving during these sequences but they’re pretty easy. Finally there are many parts where you dive into another mindscape and as you may expect this involves plenty of confusing and scary dream logic. There are a few stealth sequences where you need to dodge and sneak past an enemy but that’s surprisingly not that difficult. You can zoom in objects to further gather information on them, such as who that spatter of blood belongs to and of course this also lets you locate implants inside people. To do this, you’re equipped with multiple enhanced vision modes, a standard night vision mode for exploring in dark corners, a bio mode to analyze biological material and an EM mode for identifying technological equipment. Most of the gameplay is about going about looking for clues. There is no combat in this game and you are pretty much restricted to the interior of the building. This is usually a measure used to deal with suspected nanophage infections, a nanite plague that afflicts those cybernetic implants. However as you leave the apartment, the entire building goes under lockdown, preventing anyone from leaving and cutting off all exterior communications. You also soon realize that Adam was previously a highly placed researcher at Chiron. You therefore set out to investigate what has happened. When you arrive at the building and locate the apartment where Adam has been staying under a different name, you discover a corpse but are unable to identify it as the head is missing. ![]() One evening you receive a call from your estranged son Adam and trace it to a building in a poor area of town. Specifically you are an Observer, equipped with an implant that lets you hack into the minds of others and interrogate them. You play as Daniel Lazarski, an aged police detective in a dystopian city dominated by the Chiron corporation. ![]() Unfortunately while its production values are indeed top notch, it is a very linear game and I’ve come to find that scary scenes have limited effect on me once I realize that whatever I see have no impact in terms of gameplay mechanics. They even managed to get Rutger Hauer to star as the protagonist and all but shouts out its Blade Runner influences. I’m always open to new and interesting videogaming experiences and I’ve heard good things about this cyberpunk horror game by a Polish developer.
