Third Surveillance Bureau

Past midnight, the only light on your face is the cold glow of the monitors.

On the graveyard shift, check the surveillance cameras deployed across the district one by one, spot changes that deviate from the ordinary, and make critical calls before danger closes in.

Outside the window, the woods have fallen into dead silence; inside the control room, only the low hum of humming equipment remains.
The footage refreshes again and again, yet you can never be entirely certain—was that corner really the same just a second ago?

The Third Surveillance Bureau is a 2D horror game centered on surveillance and anomaly identification.

Switch between security cameras, search for irregularities hidden in the frames, and report them in time.

Find What Deviates from the Ordinary

Anomalies don't always appear in obvious ways.

It might just be an extra item sitting on a desk, something missing from a pile of trash, or a familiar place you've seen countless times that suddenly feels unnervingly strange tonight.

All you can rely on is your keen observation, sharp memory, and the instinct every Surveillance Bureau employee must possess.

Bring Back the Intrigued Artifacts

During your shift, you will also collect items left behind by anomalies.

Examine their records and logs, piecing together the true picture of events from seemingly insignificant details.

Never overlook something just because it looks ordinary.

Fight Anomalies with Anomalies

Not every anomaly can be dealt with simply by filing a report.

Understand them, exploit them, and determine when to use them.

At the Third Surveillance Bureau, anomalies are not just targets to handle—they might be the only tools you have left.

Survive the Lengthening Night

At first, it seems like just another routine night shift.

Yet as the night progresses, seemingly unrelated anomalies, artifacts, and records gradually point toward something much harder to comprehend.

The monitored district remains quiet.

Streetlights flicker erratically, doors remain shut, and wanderers occasionally pass across the screen.

Except... something has irrevocably changed.

When the anomalies cease to be mere oddities on the surveillance screens, you may realize—

What is truly terrifying might not be the monsters.

It is the horror hidden behind the anomalies—a reality closer and more chilling than any monster could ever be...
