## About >observer_

Bloober Team's >observer_ is a first-person cyberpunk detective game set in 2084. Players take on the role of an Observer, using psychic abilities to hack into the memories of suspects and investigate crime scenes through dream-navigation sequences, forensic analysis, and stealth mechanics within a decaying neon-scarred city. Players describe the experience as atmospheric and dark, with psychedelic dream sequences creating an unsettling feverish atmosphere. Reviewers note the cyberpunk aesthetic is used ominously and that Rutger Hauer's voice acting elevates the narrative. It holds a 77% positive rating from over 1,900 Steam reviews.
