Another excellent IOD game. This one not only stays closest to the first game, not only does it have six (!) levels, but also introduces some twists that make the game harder. If you somehow felt like skipping past 2, 3 and 4 (don't, they're still fine games), make sure to pick up your IOD adventure from this high point.

I'm on Observation Duty 5 is a horror spot-the-difference game that challenges your memorization skills. This was such a fun game to play with friends. It's easy to pick up, and the differences are sometimes so subtle that even multiple people can miss them. The jump scares were well done, and even when we knew about them, they still surprised us. The game never feels unfair about its differences, and I really enjoyed the different reporting systems. The environments are so varied and there's so much to focus on, but it doesn't feel cluttered or like there's too much. I really enjoyed this game, and I appreciate the opportunity it gave me to have some silly fun with my friends. This is an easy recommendation from me, especially to those with a buddy or two to play it with.
