❤ Gameplay Overview

As an employee of a mysterious organization, your job is to monitor live surveillance camera footage and spot anomalies using your sharp eyes and good memory. The game challenges you to carefully scan multiple camera views, looking for changes in the environment such as objects moving, disappearing, or new objects appearing. You must then correctly identify the location and type of anomaly to file a report and resolve the issue. The game features a real-time progression, with anomalies occurring randomly, forcing you to stay vigilant throughout the entire session.

❤ Gameplay Mechanics

The core gameplay loop revolves around meticulously examining the camera feeds, memorizing the details of each room, and quickly recognizing when something has changed. You must toggle between different camera views, maintaining a mental map of the environment to spot even the most subtle alterations. Reporting an anomaly correctly requires selecting the right room and identifying the type of change, be it an object movement, disappearance, or addition. Failing to report anomalies in a timely manner leads to a game over, creating a constant sense of tension and urgency.

❤ Variety and Replayability

The game features six unique levels, each with their own layouts, anomaly patterns, and visual styles. This variety ensures that you cannot rely on memorizing a single environment, but must adapt your approach to each new scenario. Additionally, the anomalies themselves are randomized, so no two playthroughs are exactly alike. This unpredictability and the need to remain vigilant at all times contribute to the game's high replayability.

❤ Difficulty and Progression

The game offers a good balance of challenge and accessibility. The early levels serve as a gentle introduction to the core mechanics, allowing you to hone your observation skills. As the game progresses, the difficulty ramps up, with more frequent and subtle anomalies that test your memory and attention to detail. The new "3 strikes" reporting system in the latter half of the game adds an additional layer of complexity, forcing you to make quick decisions without the safety net of correctly identifying the anomaly type.

❤ Community and Social Elements

Many players have reported enjoying the game as a social experience, playing with friends or streaming it for an audience. The cooperative nature of spotting anomalies and the game's inherent tension lend themselves well to group play, with players combining their observational skills and providing support to one another. The game's popularity has also led to a growing community of fans, who share strategies, discuss the game's subtle details, and engage in the shared experience of its unique brand of psychological horror.
