As is typical in the cyberpunk genre, everything is terrible, but also runs unsettlingly parallel to the current world.īloober Team have created an exceedingly dark and depressing cyberpunk setting. Set in a world ravaged by disease, war, poverty, and corporatocracy, the game takes place in cyber-Krakow, under control of the megacorporation Chiron. Observer: System Redux is just about the darkest cyberpunk portrayal you can possibly portray. But I think it captures the cyberpunk horror genre perfectly. I might compare this game to SOMA, another horrific vision of the future I loved. Created by Bloober Team, best known for the Layers of Fear series, this title turns away from the paranormal and instead embraces the horrors of technology.
