Was this game inspired by Lone Echo (VR game) ?
They share a LOT of things, which is a very good thing since Lone Echo was probably one of the best VR games out there.

I mean, something happens around Saturn. You are an AI and you are with a woman alone on a space station. Weird things happens. It can’t be a coincidence.

While I’m waiting for Lone Echo 2, I enjoy Observation a lot!

There are indeed some similarities, but entirely co-incidental - we started working on the core ideas of Observation in 2015, and it's first prototype done the rounds with publishers in January 2016.

We had a similar "oh no" moment when The Cloverfield Paradox released on Netflix. We had been in full development for over a year by that point and one sequence in particular was *very* similar to our sequence just before the intro credits. We thought they might have seen our work and somehow ripped it off...!

(assuming they didn't though, and that there's not THAT many spooky planets in our solar system to choose from!)
