❤ Mastering the Increased Difficulty

Players widely praise the game's significantly increased difficulty compared to previous installments. Many reviewers note that completing a single level, even on the normal difficulty, often requires multiple attempts. However, they view this challenge as a positive, as successfully navigating the levels and identifying the ever-changing anomalies provides a profound sense of accomplishment.

❤ Precise Anomaly Reporting

The game's innovative reporting system, which requires players to not only identify the location of an anomaly but also select the appropriate type from a menu, has drawn widespread praise. This added layer of complexity forces players to be more attentive and precise in their observations, rather than simply clicking around the screen. Reviewers describe this combination of locating and categorizing anomalies as making the game more intuitive and engaging.

❤ Diverse and Unsettling Anomalies

Reviewers highlight the game's impressive variety of anomalies, ranging from subtle changes in the environment, such as a slightly shifted picture frame or a flickering light, to more overt and unsettling occurrences, like a sudden appearance of a strange, distorted figure. Players find the more subtle anomalies particularly challenging, requiring excellent memory and a keen eye to identify.

❤ Unnerving Intruder Encounters

The inclusion of "intruder" events, where peculiar and often disturbing characters appear on the surveillance footage, is another aspect of the gameplay that has resonated with players. These intruder encounters are described as adding an element of psychological horror and tension, further contributing to the overall sense of unease and paranoia that players experience.

❤ Rewarding Progression and Replayability

The game's high level of difficulty, coupled with the variety of anomalies and intruders, is seen as a significant factor in its replayability. Players often find themselves returning to levels multiple times, striving to identify every anomaly and improve their performance. The sense of progression and mastery as players become more adept at the game's mechanics is a key draw for many reviewers.
