These dream-like sequences are disjointed and uncomfortable, often trapping you in puzzles that create a sense of dread. Connecting to a broken mind is one thing, doing it to the mind of a recently murdered person is another and it is there where you’ll experience the memories and misery of the recently dead. The most interesting gameplay comes from those neural links. Indeed it often can feel a bit like a point and click game or one of those CSI games that were so popular with achievement whores on the Xbox 360.
There’s never anything particularly clever to these puzzles though and often the only difficulty comes from trying to find the thing you need to interact with. You do need to be thorough in your approach or you’ll soon be searching for a guide.
This can get frustrating especially because interactive objects are often easy tomiss. An early puzzle has you searching around a dark apartment for a keycode which ends up being the title of a book hidden away in a dark cupboard in the corner of the room.
OBSERVER SYSTEM REDUX GUIDE CODE
That usually involves restarting some bit of equipment or finding a key code and Observer makes you work for these solutions. Often the progression in the game revolves around finding your way out of locked down areas. The only character that you get to interact with is the building’s janitor, a very twitchy man known as Janus. You’ll have a few dialogue choices but these conversations are quite limited. During the game’s 6-8 hour story mode, you’ll mostly be stuck in that one apartment block where you’ll be scanning items, looking for doors and occasionally interrogating the locals who are all stuck behind locked doors. You’re strictly there to observe which of course is a fairly different way to play a game these days. Beyond that you also have a nightvision augmentation (R3) and, most importantly, a device that allows you to connect to the neural chip that is implanted in the heads of most of the citizens of this bleak, futuristic worAside from that though, there’s no other wrinkles to the gameplay. Pressing L2 will scan these further while R2 is used to interact with objects. Scanners for biological matter and electromagnetic items are mapped to the shoulder buttons and these highlight potential objects of interest. Upon finding the first crime scene you are introduced to Lazarski’s collection of futuristic detective tools. You can’t really do much apart from observe things. The game’s title is actually on the nose. Upon tracing the call, he finds Adam’s apartment where a decapitated body awaits him and from there you are drawn into a noir adventure where conspiracy, technology and modified human biology all come together in a way that will be familiar to fans of movies such as The Matrix and, more prominently, Blade Runner. Lazarski is led there after receiving a call from his long-estranged son Adam. Not that you get to see much of the tourist spots as the majority of the game is set inside a locked-down apartment complex. The game places you in the shoes of Daniel Lazarski who is a veteran Observer (2084’s answer to a homocide detective) as he investigates a murder in a futuristic Krakow, Poland.
