'>observer_' (ALL) Protagonist Voiced By Rutger Hauer, Gets Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on July 19, 2017 @ 1:16 p.m. PDT

>observer_ is a first person dystopian thriller/horror game that focuses on a dark, atmospheric environment and deep story telling.

Observer is set in a near future in a grim Cyberpunk version of Cracow, Poland. You play as Dan, a member of a special corporate-funded police unit called Observers, whose purpose is to hack and invade other people minds and memories. Having received a cryptic message from his estranged son, the hero delves into the seedy underbelly of the city, where only horror and madness awaits.

As an Observer you will need to use your augmentations to gather information, interrogate and hack into the twisted minds of criminals and victims alike. Explore the boundaries of humanity and face the consequences of stepping beyond our limits. Face the horrors of twisted minds, blurred by failing memories, entangled and mixed with your own fears.

When we started the search for our voice actor who would portray our lead character in >observer_, we had our eyes set squarely on one of our European brethren, a card-carrying member of the Cyberpunk Hall of Fame. Today, we’re proud to announce that the Observer, Detective Dan Lazarski, mind-hacker extraordinaire, will be voiced by none other than Rutger Hauer, the replicant-in-chief of our favorite cyberpunk movie, “Blade Runner.”

More good news! >observer_ is launching on August 15. That’s, like, a month away. While we put the finishing touches on our cyberpunk horror story, we’d like to share with you our new trailer (see above), which introduces the dark dystopia that is the year 2084. We hope you enjoy.

Finally, for those of you heading to San Diego Comic-Con this week, >observer_ will be playable at the Lionsgate booth! Swing by and get your hands on >observer_, and you will also have a chance to win signed Rutger swag.
