Observation
Observation, a first-person sci-fi puzzler, is about an astronaut trapped on a derelict space station, but you’re not cast as her. No, you play as an artificial intelligence program named SAM. Through a series of progressively vexing environmental puzzles, in which you hop between a variety of tech devices, Watch Dogs-style, you start to piece together why this station is derelict—and why the astronaut is trapped on it. Riveting every step of the way, Observation almost instantly makes clear that it possesses the one throughline any good mystery needs: You think you know everything. But you don’t know anything at all.
Rough Average Playtime: 6 hours
