![]() Stuck in the apartment building, our hero will have to solve some puzzles and interact with the tenants, engaging in conversations that may not only give us more information about our son, but also start new side quests. Of course, lockdowns can also be caused by computer malfunctions, so as the only government agent present in the building, we’ll have to do our best to reassure the tenants that no harm will come to them. In order to deal with the Nanophage, Chiron Incorporated has fitted every building with steel shutters that will automatically seal off sites that show signs of contamination. ![]() In Observer‘s world, a deadly plague called the Nanophage has been doing the rounds for years, spreading through both digital and biological means, and maiming or killing untold numbers. The search for our son will take us to one of the many buildings created to house and contain the poor, and after investigating an apartment with our nano-augmented vision and collecting some clues, we’ll soon have to deal with a lockdown. Daniel Lazarski is no exception to this rule, as his Dream Eater implant will slowly corrupt his senses unless he periodically ingests a certain substance that can be found as we advance. In order to survive in this grim new world, most citizens are augmented, and they resort to drugs to escape reality or take care of medical conditions that would otherwise cause them unbearable pain. Our employers are Chiron Incorporated, a mega-corporation which took over Poland after a nuclear war left most of Eastern Europe uninhabitable. Trying to find out what happened to our estranged son, we’ll set out in a journey through dark alleys and strange dreams, where nothing is as clear cut as it seemed at first sight. Set in a futuristic version of Krakow, Poland, Observer puts us in the boots of Detective Daniel Lazarski, a veteran member of a police force known as Observers because they have been outfitted with tech that lets them enter people’s minds, using their thoughts to pursue leads and interrogate suspects (even post mortem, in extreme situations). Luckily for us, not all is lost, as Bloober Team, another Polish studio, decided to give the genre a go with Observer, a first person detective ’em up released last month. Sadly, the next title from the masterminds behind The Witcher 3 is still a ways off, and cyberpunk games aren’t exactly dime a dozen. When CDProjekt RED announced that they were working on Cyberpunk 2077, the gaming world went bananas over it, and rightfully so, considering the Polish studio’s track record.
