Under Observation

Under Observation is a first-person, single-player horror game. You play as a researcher at a bioweapons research and development company focused on national security. A dangerous subject has escaped containment, locking down the facility. To escape, you must find your lost staff keycard and use it to open the main blast door while avoiding the subject and observing its behavior.

Study the subject

Your research is aimed at identifying the subject’s behavioral patterns, perks and abilities, including its sight, hearing and diet. As you gather information, its main type becomes clearer. There are 20 subject types; completing the research means becoming confident enough to identify the subject’s type.

Some traits are harder to detect. Genetype, for example, leaves no visual clues, so you must take a sample from the subject and run experiments on it. Some subject variations can also turn completely invisible.

Tools and hiding places

You can use gadgets such as flashlights, dart guns, tablets and cameras to conduct experiments. A CCTV monitoring station in the guard post can help you locate the subject, while ventilation ducts running between the facility’s main corridors provide places to hide.
