The influence of 2001: A Space Odyssey is obvious, but not in the way I expected. SAM becomes unresponsive to Emma while being influenced by the signal, causing strange glyphs to flicker on his interface, and with instructions to 'BRING HER' appearing.SAM recovers after an unspecified period of time has passed, to the sight of Emma having been rendered unconscious following the second event. At any time you can pull up a schematic of the Observation and jump between stationary cameras, panning and zooming and scanning for objects of interest. As SAM goes to try to restore basic life support, he interacts with this station's SAM, learning that there was a secret mission that Jim was to follow, based on the discovery that embedded in various star patterns was a specific DNA code and a point in space to be at.
Observation is an adventure-puzzle video game developed by Scottish studio No Code and published by Devolver Digital. Jim had been directed by Earth to make sure,Jim proceeds to lock SAM out of the controls while he sends a desperate message for help to Earth. Earth cuts off Jim, who now knows SAM is to blame. It was a little jarring, I must admit, playing as a super-intelligent, self-aware computer, but still having to use a notepad to make up for the limitations of my stupid organic brain.Each puzzle is represented by a wonderfully stylised interface, with the kind of hard, functional design you'd expect from something that was only ever meant to be accessed by a machine. Observation is an unusual horror adventure game that features many references to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The station is governed by a series of arcane, complex computer systems that are beyond even Fisher's considerable talents, leaving SAM to make sense of them. A strange hexagonal object appears to both Sam and Emma and tries to communicate to them in a geographic glyph language before disappearing.
SAM will answer in the kind of calm, reassuring, but also slightly unsettling voice so beloved by sci-fi AI.

In general, however, Observation leaves you to your own devices, rarely revealing much about where to go next or how to solve a particular problem.
You can ask Fisher to repeat her last command, but a lot of the time this acts more like a cryptic clue or a subtle hint than an explicit instruction.Observation's other great strength is its story and how it tells it.
