What is it?

[Russian Sly]

I open up a store page, and I see pretty cinematic screenshots that fail to give me any idea of what the gameplay is like.
Same goes for all the three trailers.
Hence, what is it?
First person walking simulator? Third person survival? Top down economic strategy? 3D movie with floating camera? Yaoi dating sim?

>observer_ is a cyberpunk horror game from Bloober Team, the creators of Layers of Fear. Play as an Observer, the new front line of neural police, as you hack into the jagged minds of the insane.

So it is actually a javascript course, where you learn programming by hacking the jagged minds?

[.]

Observe and Report - You are Dan Lazarski, an elite neural detective known as an Observer, and part of a corporate-funded police unit whose purpose is to hack and invade suspects’ minds. In this future, anything you think, feel, or remember can be used against you in a court of law.

A Dark Dystopia - The year is 2084. If you somehow survived the Nanophage, odds are you were killed in the War. Those who live have turned to drugs, VR, neural implants— anything to distract themselves from this new reality. But they can’t hide from you.

Interactive Insanity - As you hack into the unstable minds of criminals and victims to look for clues, you will relive their darkest fears, forcing you to question your own reality -- and your sanity.

A New Horror from the Creators of Layers of Fear - The largest and most frightening world yet from Bloober Team! Lose yourself -- and your sanity -- in the dark dystopia that is 2084. >observer_ is a horror experience meant for mature audiences. What you see will disturb you.

It is a book with cutscenes?

It is a javascript course again?

i'd love to know too. is this more like a walking simulator with a horror atmosphere or more in the sense of Amnesia and SOMA where you have to run and hide from monsters?

[Russian Sly]

You just keep spamming the copypaste from the store, which does not say a single word about the gameplay.

No Fabulex doesn't spam anything :o
The only one spamming is you with questions to no context

its not good

for 2 hours you are treated to a decent mystery plot line and then you hit your first mindjack situation and you do that for a while and its your typical "hey you guys remember fear? that was a neat game huh lets do a bunch of those effects for upwards of 20 minutes" and then everything after that first mind jack is downhill its just that one single note for the rest of the game i beat the game in a span of 5 hours and it had turned into a walking simulator where sometimes you need to do a thing

the intro is solid and thats it everything else is "are you spooked yet?! how about some monster noises and abstract art spooked now?"

sounds like a solid world and the job of the main character sounds cool as ♥♥♥♥ but this game makes all of that so boring that its not even worth it

even if the main characters voice actor is cool

This thread is hilarious because of the silly answers. First person walking simulator is the short answer.

[Defalt]

[Artur Ditu]

[Mandala]

It is what it is.
