Jan. 2025

Probably the best game of the I'm on Observation Duty series. The greyscale coloring combined with 6 rather challenging maps with 2 different game types really adds value to this game. I only wish I could physically explor the maps the developer created. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys these spooky "what's out of place" games! =D

it was fun and challenging. Made me lose my mind a bit though, thought i was in, the the ba-ba-ba BaCKRoomS!!!

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.

Yet another Observation Duty sequel, featuring 6 amazing houses, a new report system, and even more great additions in terms of anomalies and ideas.

If you like observing and being on duty this is the game for you. I very much like observing and being on duty so it is the game for me. Go take your vitamins.
