About
Step into the shoes of a veterinarian investigator, specializing in forest and wildlife incidents. You’ve been summoned by the Appalachian Mountains Forest Agency to investigate a series of unsettling missing person reports. Every time someone vanishes, the forest is left with ominous traces— blood, signs of struggle —but no bodies are ever found.
The local police have hit a dead end, and now it’s up to you. Could the culprit be a massive predator, dragging its prey to an unknown lair, or is there something more sinister at play? As the sole expert on the case, your mission is to uncover the truth from a remote watchtower , deep in the heart of the Appalachian wilderness.
Using a sophisticated PC system connected to a network of trail cameras, you’ll monitor, document, and report any suspicious activity. As you dive deeper, prepare yourself for unexpected plot twists and a non-linear storyline that will keep you constantly on edge.
Are you ready to solve the mystery of TRAILCAM, or will you become the next person to disappear without a trace ...

The constant restart from scratch is a nuisance
Pros: It's a fun short game! Reminds me of Fears to Fathom Ironbark Lookout! I really enjoyed the graphics and felt it had pretty decent jump scares! I also liked having to race back and forth between the computer and trap + trying to spot the animals or whatever triggered the camera off in a short amount of time! A race against the clock in a way! Cons: I wish you could interact with the environment some more. Pick some items up and examine them, have a few things that are quick to read around for a little more entertainment while waiting for the cameras to go off. Luckily I had my chat with me to talk to when I had to restart the game (I didn't spot a few things and so the PC locks you out after 6 mistakes, meaning you have to start the game over). And either way it didn't take me long to get where I was, which was the end! I do see how this can be a bit of a slow game for some who may be playing by themselves... Overall Opinion- I liked the game! It seems to be the developers first one as well! You did really well with the atmosphere and the graphics, as I said earlier, are pretty nice! I know a lot of the reviews are negative, but it's a fun and short game to stream with friends in the middle of the night or for streaming platforms! I feel like throughout the game you can slowly piece the puzzle together of who is causing the disappearances as well! Either way, it was fun and got some good screams out of me and a bruised knee from when I accidentally jumped at one point! Continue improving, don't let the negative comments stop you! I hope to see more games come from you, and if you release anymore, I'm definitely ready to play!
I spent almost 2 hours in this ♥♥♥♥ of a game only to notice that its Profile Features are limited. So, you're saying that for 3 retarded achievements I need 3 playthroughs but you can't even display it as a perfect game because the developer decided this was a patience experiment. Good job, my dude. Hope you have a very merry Christmas. ♥♥♥♥ you and your game.
This game punishes you over and over again. At one point a doe is clearly shown but the game rejects the pick of that animal and instead okays the rabbit as a match! I live in Indiana and we have tons of deer. I know what a friggin deer looks like but apparently the game maker does not! Make too many mistakes and it sends you right back to the start every time! Extremely frustrating. Frustration should not be the goal here!
TRAILCAM is sort of short anomaly hunting game - as a wildlife expect, you have to investigate the dissapearance of few turists in the forest. And to do so, you have to monitor few cameras and report the animals moving in front of them. Well...animals and other things. There are few things that the game does well. The atmosphere is nice, the idea is fine, the U5 engine is used actually well (which is rare for an indie game). Other thing could be better. The cameras don't have zoom, so it's not always that easy the animal (and sometimes you are seeing only parts of it) to be recognized. And the mechanic that keeps the bear allarm running is terribe - you have to click it hundreds of time. Perhaps if this can be changed (for instance - clicling and holding to replace the endless click) it will be better. Or, you can not pump it at all - who know what will happen?

Holy crap scare Batman. I love horror and this quick game is awesome. Highly recommend it.
I'll give this one a thumbs up from the angle that this is a solid Proof of Concept. If this were to be fleshed out into a whole story-driven game with much more control, awesome. Being stuck up in the watchtower and not being able to go down to the ground level seems like a cop out. The story is very minimal, but you do infer a few things as you get deeper into the night. Tons of folk also complained regarding the darkness on the actual cameras. It was certainly a challenge. Having said all of that, I think the concept of being in a watchtower in a giant park with a killer loose where you have to perform Observation Duty-esque anomaly hunting, is certainly something that can be worked on and hopefully does. If you want a quick horror experience, check this game out, you will probably be entertained. If you expect a full fleshed out horror game with story and what not, maybe pass.
Fun game, but a short game. I am curious if there are multiple endings. I am a bit disappointed in the killer's disguise. I would love to see a follow up that revealed the specifics of the crimes... like why they were committed.
Tres mitige sur ce jeu !!!! Ça ne fait pas peur c est même plutôt lent et c est très long a démarrer Je m'attendais a mieux alors dans l’état je ne conseille pas vraiment Pour du gameplay c est ici : https://www.twitch.tv/themidnightnation
