Our Expert Score

88/100

I'm on Observation Duty is a brilliantly tense and unique take on the horror genre. It successfully weaponizes the uncanny valley and our own visual fatigue. You play as a security operative watching live CCTV feeds, and your only job is to spot 'anomalies'—anything from a chair moving a few inches to a literal monster appearing in the background.

The game is a masterclass in slow-burn dread. It requires intense focus and memory, as you have to constantly recall exactly what each room looked like five minutes ago. The satisfaction of spotting a subtle change and reporting it before things get out of hand is incredibly rewarding. It’s an essential experience for fans of psychological horror and those who enjoy games that test their observational skills to the limit.

Reporting Strategy

Don't guess! Filing a false report takes time and can lead to 'Anomaly Overload.' Only report when you are 100% sure an object has moved, disappeared, or changed.
