Observation

A sci-fi thriller where you play as the space station's AI, not the crew.

PCPlayStation 4

Observation is a sci-fi thriller from No Code, the Glasgow-based studio behind Stories Untold. In a bold twist on conventional game design, players take on the role of SAM, the AI system aboard a space station, rather than controlling a human character. When Dr. Emma Fisher awakens to find the station damaged and the crew missing, SAM must assist her in uncovering what happened — while grappling with its own mysterious directives. The game was published by Devolver Digital and received critical acclaim for its atmosphere and inventive perspective.
