Need...to...get out...
Following the Grand Industrial Reform of 2024, where corporations became the leading economic power. Five corporations rose to the top, known infamously as 'The Fearsome Five'. The Fearsome Five continuously battled over branches of industry, control of geography, recruitement of able bodies, etc. By the end of 2028, between the parties that composed The Fearsome Five, every industry had been cornered, controlled, and beaten into submission. This naturally caused heated competition between the remaining corporate entities. These five and their struggle for power resulted in death, intimidation and sabotage, time and time again.

2052, war breaks out, 'The Big One', and corporate chairmen capitalize on the distraction, expanding their already ridiculous level of control beyond the realm of industrialized production and business meetings.A new governing body is bred in its entirety...The National Board of Directors, a.k.a. Chiron Incorporated. The unholy fusion of what was previously The Fearsome Five...
The Future is in our grasp.

2053, The Great Decimation is full fledged, a time of attrition. The Great Decimation knew no limitations, spanning across multiple continents and involving the majority of the world's nation states. This undoubtedly reshaped the geopolitical spectrum; rendering vast areas of our world uninhabitable due to radioactive fallout. The country's Eastern borders ignite with conflict. Nearing the bottom of their military-industrial resource pool, the current Board of Directors blames the failing war efforts on the indeciseveness of the current Government.
...Thus Chiron rears it's ugly head. Immediately after the nuclear fallout of 2059, Chiron deploys privately funded military powers to establish a new order...

...We triumphed over enemies lurking at our doorsteps, we must now prevail against the foes hiding in our very flesh.

The Nanophage is undoubtedly one of the most insidious conditions known to the contemporary medicine that now exists within Poland. It exclusively attacks cybernetically augmented organisms (which, in case you were wondering, is literally everyone except a religious group known as 'The Immaculates' who refuse augmentation of any kind).
The Nanophage, being a software-based disease, can be contracted both digitally and biologically. Early onset can trasmit via wireless networks; later stages becoming physiological.

Thanks to A fatal programming flaw in the nano-machines; what was meant to assist in marrying flesh and metal, now causes these very same nanobots to reject the host organism. Your implant treats you as a hostile and foreign entity enabling autoagression and rapid deterioration of the host. The 'AA Glitch' becomes even more horrifying once one realizes that if only a single nanobot is running in error, every single child bot that it builds will share its same flaw. Recursive rot ad infinitum.

Here he comes, you better beware,
He'll eat your dreams, he'll suck you dry,
The leech is here, it's too late to hide.

You are Daniel Lazarski (played by Blade Runner's Rutger Hauer), you are a leech, a dream eater, an Observer. Observers are a specialized police unit, tasked with conducting neural interrogations using the DR-3AT implant, a.k.a. the Dream Eater. This allows an Observer to connect to the subject's cerebral cortex via thier neural implant (allowing them to extract information from the host, whether alive or dead). The Observer program was introduced amid the turmoil that was The Great Decimation, for the purpose of extracting information from captured prisoners. After the war, Observers were introduced into civil service.

It's worth noting, however, that the use of the Dream Eater technology takes an incredibly heavy toll on the Observer's mind. Delving into the memories of others causes tremendous emotional strain that prolonged experience will cause a loss of faculties within host and spawn a plethora of mental disorders.


While this may not be a traditional review where game mechanics are broken down and I give a certain # out of 10 as means of conveying arbitrary importance/value; I wanted to share a little bit of the world, the feeling that holds Observer upright. IF the universe/story sounds interesting to you, buy it.
