Today’s Spotlight is Observation, a narrative-driven sci-fi thriller by No Code and Devolver Digital.
The game released on the Epic Games Store and PlayStation 4 a year ago, but recently made its way to GOG and Steam. The game is set onboard a space station, whose crew has mysteriously vanished.
The only ones left are Dr. Emma Fisher and S.A.M., the station’s AI companion. As S.A.M., it is your job to help Emma uncover what happened to the crew, and what mysterious force is changing S.A.M., and the station itself.
