I think this game is underrated. It's a very fresh concept and sure, it has some weaknesses, but it's an overall pretty captivating experience. I was glued to the screen for hours and don't regret a minute spent there.

It's probably not the type of gameplay that's for everyone though and I explain why down below:

• interesting story
  
• new perspective (you play as the AI)
  
• tricky puzzles and minigames (if you like detective games, this could be up your alley)

The story feels like a mix of HAL 9000, the thing and maybe some other scifi-movies I can't recall the names of. I wasn't a fan of the cutscenes and the story is rather slow, since it includes only a handful of people who barely interact with you. The title already sums it up: you're the observer for the most parts. It's still hella interesting, packed with twists and turns and from the perspective of an AI, it gives everything an entirely new flavour. I tried to peek into every laptop and document my little AI camera could zoom in on to puzzle more of the backgroundstory together. The puzzles range from easy-peasy to dark souls hellhole, but not one of them is impossible or illogical.

• controls and camera
  
• nearly non existing task lists and explanations
  
• dragged out cutscenes

The game throws you into cold water with little to no handholding. This makes it very challenging to figure out what exactly your next steps are or how to solve certain puzzles. The game encourages you to pay attention and use your brain, (mostly memory and logical deduction skills) so if you're looking for a brainrot cinematic experience, look further. Even though I really liked figuring out the puzzles, some I had to trial and error my way to victory. The controls for the drones and camera feel sluggish and slow, which I admit is annoying, but also intended. It's part of the atmosphere and storytelling - being in space and all. It's still disorienting and might make some people feel seasick.

All in all a good game for certain people. Give it a try on a sale if you're unsure, I would recommend it.
