Observation Trailer Tells the Story of SAM

By Rebecca Smith,

When No Code came up with the idea for their sci-fi adventure game Observation, they pitched it as “2001, only you play as HAL”. Four years later, that premise is about to be unleashed upon PlayStation 4 as the game is due to be released in May, and a new story trailer shown at State of Play shows players exactly what they can expect.

Players assume the role of SAM (Systems Administration & Maintenance), an AI system on the Low Orbit Space Station “Observation”. It's the year 2026 and a mysterious event has caused the station to power down. After SAM reboots, he can only find a single surviving crew member, Dr Emma Fisher. Between them, they must restore all of SAM's systems, qand find out what happened to the rest of the crew.

Observation will be released on May 21st.
