And yet Rutger Hauer is such a charming person that he can’t help but make you like Dan. A corporate cop with special “Dream Eater” cybernetics that lets him connect to other brains, you, Dan, and the citizenry alike are all well aware that Dan is in the business of Doing Bad Things. You play as Daniel Lazarski who is an Observer. Ironically, the protagonist portrayed by Blade Runner actor Rutger Hauer is basically an elderly blade runner. The best place for a cyberpunk horror to be. Observer is about as grim as the future gets before it resembles that of The Matrix. Everyone who isn’t dead or dying remains locked in their apartment due to the fear of catching the Nanophage, a disease that causes cybernetic implants to turn on the host. You spend the game in a ramshackle cyber-apartment, the type where the lowest members of cyber-society (about ~90% of the population) are allowed to live. As is typical in the cyberpunk genre, everything is terrible, but also runs unsettlingly parallel to the current world.īloober Team have created an exceedingly dark and depressing cyberpunk setting. Set in a world ravaged by disease, war, poverty, and corporatocracy, the game takes place in cyber-Krakow, under control of the megacorporation Chiron. Observer: System Redux is just about the darkest cyberpunk portrayal you can possibly portray. But I think it captures the cyberpunk horror genre perfectly. I might compare this game to SOMA, another horrific vision of the future I loved. Created by Bloober Team, best known for the Layers of Fear series, this title turns away from the paranormal and instead embraces the horrors of technology.
