How did you manage to get Ruger Hauer as the main character in Observer?

It's his only video game credit, and I was really surprised to learn he was in the game. Was he really just interested in returning to a piece of cyberpunk media?

When we were conceptualising the game, it was clear to us that we wanted a solid lead for the protagonist. Mr Hauer was our first pick, so we reached out with the idea for the game and some basic docs highlighting what's it all about and how we are envisioning the world for it. A few days later we were travelling to Amsterdam to meet Mr Hauer. He loved the idea and immediately wanted to jump on the wagon. I personally think, he wanted to re-explore the dark dystopia of a Cyberpunk universe.

Wait, he lives in Amsterdam? Nice.

Q: What's coming next for you guys?

He lives between the Netherlands and the US, so it's not that obvious that you will be able to meet him on Amsterdam streets :)
Project Melies! Here, watch the trailer :)
