Observation isn’t a conventional video game. Whether it’s the gameplay, plot, or even its take on horror, everything about No Code’s sci-fi thriller is unorthodox.

However, if you expect everything to be wrapped up in a tight conclusion like the developer’s previous game, Stories Untold, you’d be wrong. The mystery and anticipation leads to an ambiguous ending that left me with more questions than answers. It was an interesting ending to be sure, but I’d be hard-pressed to explain the story. Observation might be setting the stage for DLC or a sequel, but as it is, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed at the lack of solid answers at the end.
Space is scary. It’s dark, it’s unknown, and it’s infinite. Observation is a cinematic sci-fi thriller that gets right to the crux of that matter: if something goes wrong while up there, there’s nobody around to help you.
