Observation is a sci-fi thriller where you play as S.A.M., the AI system aboard a malfunctioning space station. Your only human companion, Dr. Emma Fisher, relies on you to restore systems, access cameras, open doors, and eventually uncover the truth behind a terrifying incident in space.
The story unfolds through puzzles and environmental exploration, using a unique interface where you control cameras and system diagnostics. The game’s perspective makes you feel like part of the ship, observing rather than acting directly — which enhances the creeping sense of isolation and suspense.
As you dive deeper into the mystery, you begin to question your own role. Are you helping Emma — or guiding her toward something darker? The game explores themes of identity, control, and the fear of the unknown with a chilling tone and cinematic flair.
It’s a short, narrative-rich experience that’s more 2001: A Space Odyssey than Dead Space — and that’s exactly its strength.
