How it feels

Watching 5 static CCTV feeds in a dark room, waiting for any tiny change that might signal danger.

What players say

Players describe it as a physical hidden object game where you spot anomalies across five cameras while managing lights and coffee. The patterns are simple but learning what counts as an anomaly can be confusing at first, and some find it scary for a horror game.
