    THREAD: Observation that I was discussing with some friends about the current gaming environment: It feels like a larger % of gamers have a mindset of "I'm not succeeding therefore there's something wrong with the game." in contrast to "The game is doing this, what it is expecting of me?"

    there's a game mechanic where you have to go into Observation Mode and collect details on scenes and objects and people. anyways it's very important to the plot that the protagonist crouches down and looks at her thigh

    Keeping up with script/translation changes is a fun game of its own, just like "I'm on Observation Duty" but with words and sentences #translation

    I am a huge fan of this developer’s previous game Observation, a 2001-style creepy sci-fi puzzle game. And I am pleased to see that this one doesn’t just look like it’s set in the East Neuk: it really is set there. Silent Hill: Fife.

    The thing is this is the dev’s bread and butter if you’ve played Stories Untold or Observation, and I was excited to experience another horror game through just these elements. I think it was a bit of a misstep to shoehorn other gameplay elements into it ngl.

    Thanks for joining! I don't handle scary games too well, but I did beat a level in Observation Duty 3! 😤 Next week maybe I'll take Ragey's suggestion and play F-Zero GX as Skull for a "Spooky Sunday" game that won't scare the pants offa me :D

    Screen Burn's work in Observation and House Abandoned exemplify wildly creative engagement with interactive storytelling and expression to the player, and I think most disappointingly an overwhelming majority of Townfall is missing that in favour of rudimentary, predictable Video Game Stuff.

    I've just started this and loving it. Immensely excited for a game that includes DNA from Alien Isolation, Stories Untold, Observation and Silent Hill. What a miracle mix!

    Observation is one of my personal faves, just an absolutely awesome game. When I realised they were making Silent Hill I instantly knew it was in safe hands.

    The same studio did Observation and Stories Untold. I can see the DNA of the previous games in there but not their creative spark and boldness. Game looks mint though.

    Observation, not really a new one at that- But recently played through a few new games:- Blood of Dawnwalker, Gears E-Day, Ace Combat 8 And I think out of my entire friends list across both Steam & Xbox I was lucky to maybe have one other friend show up as having played the game

    I wonder how much pressure the devs got from the franchise holders. Compared to their previous game Observation the plot is pretty simplistic. Also, maybe they were told to pad out the game.

    The first instalment, but the final phase until the next (#RageNation) (21+) twitch.tv/blkshpgg We're entering a scary territory, but I don't know how many levels are on the first I'm on Observation Duty game, so we'll see for ourselves and pivot as we see fit.

    Me: "All the voices of the main characters in Silent Hill: Townfall seem super familiar." *looks up voice actors* Observation! I knew it! Hell Yeah. I loved the shit out of that game. If you liked Townfall, I highly recommend. store.steampowered.com/app/906100/O...

    Watched like 15 minutes of SH Townfall and had to check who the devs are, because the mechanics strongly remind me of Alien Isolation. Not the same devs, but they did make Observation. I love that game! Looks like a stealth based SH game.

  • The Columbo Dimension 3: Something's really bothering me @countzio.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 23, 2026

    Did some digging into Screen Burn and such and the lead writer/director/owner of the studio used to do work on Alien: Isolation. It shows in this game, even if you don't account for the fact that he got the voice actors for Amanda Ripley and Samuels in this and Observation.

    The Ironic Fuel Crisis Reading Time: 3 minutesThere is a sign in Grens that recommends for people not to use their cars on Sunday. It dates back to last century. In the 1970s during a previous oil crisis the motorway was shut in Switzerland, and people played tennis. We are now in yet another fuel crisis and I see encouraging signs from some quarters, and absurd behaviour from the other. I read that Byd, Mercedes and Penny are working to produce electric heavy Goods vehicles for use within the…
