Para Eyes

I like this game a lot :D It's perfect for practicing my visual attentiveness and visual memory (both of which are bad). I'm infamous for being that person who's asked "what do you think of my new hair/furniture/car?" and just going "looks great!", even though I don't see anything different about it, lol. I have only one minor criticism. If an anomaly goes undetected for a certain amount of time, you lose sanity, which is a good mechanic but you begin to lose sanity, even if you haven't yet seen the room in which the anomaly is happening. That makes no sense to me. The logic of that mechanic would be, that you/the character feels almost gaslit. "I could've sworn this part of the room didn't look so empty" or "something seems different, I just can't put my finger on it" but you wouldn't get that merely from it happening somewhere. I wouldn't feel like I was going crazy, if a book disappeared in my neighbours apartment, unbeknownst to me. I just think it'd be more logical, if sanity-loss didn't happen, until you switch to the camera that the anomaly is on. Maybe the rate of sanity-loss could increase, if you flip away from said camera without having detected it to make up for the lowered difficulty but in a way that's more logical. This next part isn't a criticism, I just think it's slightly sad that there doesn't seem to be any benefit to beating a level in lights out-mode vs. normal mode, despite lights out obviously being more difficult. It made me a little disappointed, that after beating an easy level on my 3rd attempt, I just got the same payout as before. I may be wrong on this one, maybe I got slightly less when I beat it in regular mode but I remember it as being about the same. Also, it'd be a nice touch if your sanity by the end of the level affected your payout. Like, you would get more for finishing with 100% sanity than with 1% sanity? Just an idea, it's not important or anything. Eitherway, it's a really enjoyable and satisfying game and much more replayable than I expected it to be. Apart from unlocking a harder difficulty in a location, whenever you beat it on the current difficulty (which adds an additional room for each difficulty and increased rate of anomaly-spawns), there's also a mode for each location called lights out (as I mentioned before), where you can play those same locations without the lights on and your cursor acts basically as a flashlight. Additionally, there are some location choices I haven't tried out yet but they sound like they'd switch things up a bit. OH, almost forgot to mention that you can buy (unlock) themed anomalies with in-game currency that you get for completing levels :D Yet another + for replayability.

Gra logiczna w klimatach horroru, która testuje naszą pamięć (to nie jest survival horror jak tagują nieogary). Ogólnie na kamerach rozstawionych w różnych miejscówkach musimy znaleźć i wskazać wszelkie anomalie – a to zniknie jakiś przedmiot lub zmieni swoje miejsce, a to światło zgaśnie, a to pojawi się na ekranie "przerażająca" postać itd. Na wskazanie mamy odpowiedni czas. Jeśli nie znajdziemy zmiany to pasek zdrowia psychicznego zacznie się zmniejszać – jeśli spadnie do zera przed godziną 6 rano – przegrywamy. Każda miejscówka ma kilka poziomów trudności. Zaczynamy od łatwego, kończymy na trudnym. Zwiększony poziom to nie tylko więcej kamer do ogarnięcia, ale też więcej anomalii i krótszy czas na ich odnajdywanie. Ogólnie na poziomie łatwym anomalie pojawiają się zbyt wolno i szkoda, że nie ma możliwości jego pominięcia. Jest też tryb bez świateł, w którym oświetlamy miejsca bodajże latarką(?) Także zmarnowano potencjał na fajne jump scary. Takich naliczyłem zaledwie trzy (W szpitalu psychiatrycznym jest ich z kolei najwięcej, ale są po prostu tandetne). Ogólnie jest to horror, który nie straszy. Odnalazłem ponad tysiąc anomalii, ukończyłem wszystkie lokacje na każdym poziomie i już nie mam ochoty na więcej. Graficznie ujdzie, technicznie pojawiały się błędy z załadowaniem danego poziomu i wywalanie do pulpitu. Dla mnie takie 5,5/10 Niezły średniaczek.

Many difficulty options, I like that this game is more forgiving than Observation Duty game. It has a sanity meter that will keep draining when there is an anomaly that stays too long instead of just straight up game over like IOD. There's also consumables you can buy to replenish your sanity. It only starts with easy mode at first, then you unlock more difficult by finishing the level. Once you get to the hardest difficulty, you'll already have enough experience to deal with the levels. Combining this with the sanity mechanic, I am able to win more and feel less frustrating.

I am a fan of the paranormal and creepy and also enjoy a good seek and find puzzle, this game provides all of the above! Each time it plays out in a different way to keep you on your toes and therefore does not become repetitive and boring. My husband, son and I all enjoy the jump scares and memory tease.

So fun to play with my freinds we are allways desperate for more updates and we are little lore goblins for the tiny nuggets of lore that were given, love that you can just click strait on the anomalies makes it a bit less aggravating then other spot the dif games

It's my favorite "I'm On Observation Duty" style game, there is so much replay-ability with the different modes, places, the shuffle mode is a genius idea, and the custom games option just makes the whole experience fun. I do hope that you add more anomaly packs and other locations in the future because it'll only just add to the replay-ability of the game, and the report pending speed makes me favor this game over older I'm On Observation Duty games just because it allows me to report anomalies quicker and not have to wait 10 seconds just for the report to come back as "No anomaly of that type found", So a really great job on this game for sure!

I'm a fan of anomaly games (IOOD, Exit 8, etc), and this game makes a decent attempt at it. I wish there was a middle review I could make here, but there isn't. -Health bar system lends itself to frustration rather than suspense. One of the draws of IOOD is the paranoia/self gaslighting(am i missing one?) and this game just lets you know you are missing an anomaly. -The maps don't hold my attention as they are sort of plain and boring. -The anomalies themselves don't seem to fit well with the difficulty they are classified under. -Reporting anomalies gives you instant feedback. But don't just take my word for it, there's a bunch of positive feedback on this game too. I think with a few changes I would like it more, and I'll be keeping an eye on other projects from this developer.

progressing through the difficulties is fun and anomalies feel fair. nice take on the observation genre

Didn't have high expectations but it was a hit with friends.
