Despite only being two levels, this game is so fun and challenging to play! Plus the hidden secrets are fun to find and some of the anomalies are hilarious like the dude that shows up in the shower lol xd

If you've ever seen the recent proliferation of horror-themed "spot the anomaly" type games like The Exit 8 and Midnight Monitor, you can largely thank Notovia and his wonderful creation, I'm On Observation Duty. By mixing spot-the-difference gameplay with environments presented through security cameras, this series has made a real name for itself and become a classic in my book. Your job is to survive from 12 AM-6 PM by reporting anomalies, such as objects moving/disappearing, weird things happening to walls/floors and so forth. The horror comes into play from the fact that you will inevitably encounter at least one freaky intruder, often when you least expect it, and the audio is dead silent until certain anomalies trigger, which can definitely jumpscare you. The dead silence in general also adds an unsettling feeling that always sticks with me, no matter how many times I replay these games. Additionally, there's plenty of objects placed with no rhyme or reason, which will throw you off even more. You'll be questioning yourself a lot, and that's also a major strength of this series. This game, and all its sequels, will really test your memory, knowing what types of anomalies there are, and which objects can change. It's very difficult to beat either level in this game on your first try with out looking up the anomalies. Anomalies are randomized each run and don't appear at set times. The difficulty and randomization encourage replaying the game and going in with what you know can change, and discovering more subtle anomalies you've missed before.If you don't like trial-by-error, you might get a bit frustrated with that, since full runs take about 20 minutes and it's entirely possible to lose even in the last in-game hour. But you're not penalized for submitting false reports other than costing you time. You can only have up to 3 anomalies active; 4 and you lose, and you only get a single warning per run when you're up to 3 active. That leads to my only real complaint about this game and the later entries; generally there's only one object per each type of anomaly (for example, object movement in a bedroom will only ever given to one object for that room, instead of multiple). It does make memorization easier, but at the cost of making future runs more predictable more quickly. Despite that though, this is a really enjoyable game and a great foundation for the rest to follow. It's a particularly fun game to stream to audience or a group of friends, too! For spooky month and celebration of the release of the 7th game, I will be reviewing the rest of the series.

had to report a naked man giving himself a good time I´m on Observation Duty is the evolution of the find mistakes in a picture games we had as a child in magazines or in kids books. Two levels one job. Watch and memorize the surroundings and report any change. Changes can range from moving furniture over things going missing to some otherwordly intruders doing a hand job in your bathroom. If you dont report any anomaly you will die. I managed to beat the game in a few tries and I didnt find it difficulty. Its just memorizing the enviroment and then report any change. This is first of six games and I have yet to play the other five, so I cant draw up a comparision to them. However those games from my point of view suffer one problem. Replayability, once you know the levels and what can change its easier to survive the night. The trill of the game is the not knowing and the process to understand the levels. Once this is out of the way it just a race against time.

Gaslighting, strangers, and endless all consuming holes? This game has it all!! Even more fun with a group of friends. Be the girlboss you were meant to be and play this game.

March 2024

This game is difficult and scary, but a fun concept. A point and click find em' horror game. The grind of 100% this is something I never want to do ever again (Just bought two and three)
