As developer diaries go its got a very strange tone. You can tell the developer narrating is enthusiastic about their game, but it sits strangely alongside some of the topics discussed. <\/p>\n
At one point, he enthusiastically talks about the specific style of horror they create, saying one player described it best: So thats what it feels like to be insane! Obviously that comment refers to Layers of Fear, but apparently Observer will show you what it feels like to be an Observer. <\/p>\n
What is an Observer? Well, theyre future detectives who hack cybernetically-enhanced humans to see their memories, thus helping them piece together crimes. One could argue its a new form of psychological rape, and thats certainly how the Class-C citizens of Krakow feel, here in the year 2084, he explains. <\/p>\n
The metaphor seems to continue after that, too, the tone jumping all over the place. Hopefully the finished game is a bit more self-aware. <\/p>\n
Have a watch above. Observer is due out this summer. <\/p>\n
