removedDaniel Lazarski, the game’s protagonist, is an Observer himself. As an agent of Chiron, the corporation that controls every aspect of life, he becomes a tool of the system. Interrogations no longer take place in closed rooms—Daniel dives directly into the minds of his targets, exploring the chaotic, surreal visions of their thoughts.
changedAs the story progresses, Daniel gradually loses his grip on reality, and his own psyche begins to unravel. Is the Observer truly in control of other people’s minds, or is he the one being controlled? In a world where technology grants limitless power, are we still capable of holding on to our own identity?
changedIn this game, Observers symbolize the fear of technological enslavement. They are both the guardians of the system and its ultimate victims. What was meant to be a tool of justice has instead become a mechanism of dehumanization—a stark reminder that, in the cyberpunk future, control always comes at a price.

In the cyberpunk Krakow of 2084, "Observers" are elite detectives of the future, whose work extends far beyond traditional investigative methods. Armed with the Dream Eater—a device capable of hacking minds—they penetrate the memories, emotions, and deepest fears of their suspects. Yet, their gift is also a curse.

The Dream Eater was meant to be a tool of justice, but it became a sentence—one that punishes both the guilty and those merely seeking truth. Every intrusion into another’s consciousness not only unveils dark secrets but also tears apart the boundaries between reality and nightmare.

Daniel Lazarski, the game’s protagonist, is an Observer himself. As an agent of Chiron, the corporation that controls every aspect of life, he becomes a tool of the system. Interrogations no longer take place in closed rooms—Daniel dives directly into the minds of his targets, exploring the chaotic, surreal visions of their thoughts.

Each journey through someone’s mind plunges the player into a claustrophobic atmosphere of fear, where the line between dream and reality becomes ever more blurred. “Observing” is a brutal process, often leading to the irreversible destruction of the psyche—both for those being hacked and for the Observer himself.

As the story progresses, Daniel gradually loses his grip on reality, and his own psyche begins to unravel. Is the Observer truly in control of other people’s minds, or is he the one being controlled? In a world where technology grants limitless power, are we still capable of holding on to our own identity?

In this game, Observers symbolize the fear of technological enslavement. They are both the guardians of the system and its ultimate victims. What was meant to be a tool of justice has instead become a mechanism of dehumanization—a stark reminder that, in the cyberpunk future, control always comes at a price.

Also be sure to check a pulse-pounding, third-person survival horror with a gripping and twisted time travel story!

The game is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles in 2025!
