DEATHWATCHERS is a 4 player online co-op 'spot the difference' style, psychological horror. Use the equipment at your disposal to locate & log as many events as possible. Build your ritual and try to cleanse the locations of any demonic threats. An incorrect ritual and you may never leave.
"DEATHWATCHERS" blends elements from popular horror and investigation games, such as Phasmophobia, I'm on Observation Duty, and Demonologist, to create a fresh take on the "spot the difference" horror genre. Players must utilize a variety of tools, including an event logger, cameras, and lighting equipment, to locate and document a wide range of anomalies, all while contending with a dangerous supernatural entity.
The core gameplay loop revolves around meticulous observation and investigation. Players must scour the environment for clues and changes, carefully logging any events or disturbances they notice. This "spot the difference" mechanic requires keen attention to detail, as missing or misidentifying evidence can hinder the player's progress in determining the specific ingredients needed to perform the banishing ritual.
The game is designed for 4-player online co-op, encouraging players to coordinate their efforts, share information, and strategize to navigate the haunted environments and successfully complete the ritual to cleanse the location of the demonic threat. Working together heightens the tension and sense of accomplishment.
The game's immersive presentation, including eerie sound design and unsettling visual elements, contributes to the constant sense of danger. The entity engages in a variety of threatening behaviors, from slamming doors to outright attacks, keeping players on edge and heightening the suspense and intensity of the gameplay.
Each investigation is randomly generated, ensuring that no two playthroughs are exactly the same. The ever-changing environments, event patterns, and ritual requirements provide an excellent source of replayability, as players must adapt their strategies and approaches to the unique challenges presented in each session.
