Observer - Story Explained

Hey! I'm also on Odysee too! Go give me a follow! odysee.com/@gamingharry

Bro you are criminally underrated

Woah. The backstory alone is more interesting than the main story itself.

This game has so much lore, it's almost criminal to not release a sequel or another game set in the same universe. It's perfectly scratching that dark-noir, sci-fi/cyberpunkish itch that I oh so love.

I really hate bodysnatching scenarios.... because it's one of my greatest fears even though it's really nonsensical as the only reason they could have snatched a body is if the brain was modified by the implants in this case the nanites within the blood stream. Though this makes me think of Ghost Runner where an important figure within the story makes A.I. copies of themselves that want or need a physical body.

I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons why an Observer isn't allowed to carry and use firearms is due to an incident that caused one veteran Observer to go on a killing spree at a shopping center which became known as the Royal Plaza Massacre that had caused Chiron and the FPR's National Board of Directors to enact the Disarmament Act for Observers to not be allowed to carry and use guns. I would go into more depth, but it gets weird so I don't want to confuse anyone too much.

Hurrah more Harry Lore! Sorry to hear about YouTube flagging your Mortuary Assistant video hope they don't do anything silly to this one. Really enjoy your vids, they're always well-researched and it's obvious how much effort you put into making them. Thanks as always :)

Man I miss Rutger Hauer. He won't be lost like tears in the rain

Aside the video, "Lore and Order" is such a cool name for the series

Harry is the modern day video game historian we all needed.

Polish post apo fiction is hard to understand and explain We have great writers and I simply know how complicated the lore can Get sometimes (Like war backstory and other) you did amazing job as always, i love watching you grow and working hard to generate more and more incredible content.

This is crazy, I've watched almost every instalment of this series and suddenly you release video on one of my favourite indie horror games.

I don’t really comment on videos often, but I needed to tell you keep up the good work! I really enjoy what you bring to YouTube

I really liked this game and started it probably 3 times but never finished it when it got super weird with the hallways and stuff. oh god and the sneaking missions! ThEY ARe The WORST lol. Good video dude!

My reading is that everything you see after getting into the Sanctuary pod is a mix of VR and hallucination induced by AI-Adam. So there's not really a quarantine hotel above Sanctuary and Daniel isn't infected. This is strongly suggested because during this whole last part of the game Daniel's vision modes don't work, just like during the dream sequences.

When you start the game with this incredible intro sequence where Dan narrates the "In the time of your life, live" monologue by William Saroyan and the music and the evocative images and it's just so good and then the single synth note that makes you thing immediately of Blade Runner. Such a shame! As if we needed that. We are already thinking of Blade Runner, because it's cyberpunk. And because it's Rutger Hauer. But Observer really didn't need to remind us of other media. It stands on it's own very well. But on the other hand it's nice to have a cyberpunk game with some actual understanding of economics. It's really important in that genre specifically.

I remember watching someone's walkthrough of this years ago, so when this came up, it was like a flash to the past. I absolutely adore this game, even though it's a bit drawn-out. Thank you Harry!

I played this game a few weeks back, and I got bored of it after about 2 hours. So I'm glad that you made a video on it to explain what happened in the story

The birds do work for the bourgeoisie

Love how you get into pretty much every aspect of the game. I'm really glad I found out about you.
