![]() ![]() This brings up a basic form where you need to first check the box that shows what room the anomaly is occurring in, and then identify the type of anomaly. When you spot an anomaly, you push the Report button. They are also dangerous, as they can kill you through the camera feed if you look at them for too long. That last group is good for a jump scare, especially if they are right up in the camera when you flip to a room. ![]() Other more obvious anomalies include objects moving around the room, bright lights hovering where they should not be, and even the incursion of malevolent spirits and strange or ghostly people. Those can be difficult to spot, especially since the camera feeds are all black and white and clearly not HD-quality. The screen of a computer might change, as can a picture on the wall. Or something like a bench or chair can be removed. A new object can be added which was not there before. There is a wide variety of possible differences that can be introduced into a room, and some are much easier to spot than others. It will be up to you to spot any differences in that picture from the last time you scrolled over to the same room. In fact, 90% of the time when you go to a room’s camera feed, you are going to see a still, black and white image of the environment in front of the camera. All of the places you observe are closed, so there should not be any living humans wandering around. Most of the haunted areas are public locations like schools, offices, train stations, grocery stores and places like that. You can only view one of them at a time and need to memorize what the rooms look like so that you can spot any changes when you flip back to them, so a good memory is required. The game is played by looking at about five or six different security cameras positioned around the haunted location. If an invasion successfully overcomes the area, this results in a game over and apparently in the death of the player too. And surprisingly, it can get pretty exciting too as the anomalies pile up, and you have to race to find them all before the supernatural invasion overcomes the area. I guess that is why government bureaucracy and paperwork is so powerful or something? But if you can set that logic aside, I’m on Observation Duty 5 actually presents a fun and unique way to experience a horror title. Somehow your agency has the power to remotely remove anomalies and even dangerous entities from the world, but only after you file a report about them. I’m not really sure about the logic of the game. When they do that, the anomaly will disappear, and the world will be safe once again. If you have correctly identified an anomaly, your agency will “fix” it and return the room to normal. ![]() When you see something strange, you report it using a check box form that includes the exact location that the supernatural event is happening (basically the name of the room like bedroom 1, classroom 2, toilet, hallway, etc.), and then the type of event you are seeing. You do this by watching surveillance cameras set up at locations where supernatural activity has been detected. You are employed by some kind of government agency tasked with defending the world against supernatural incursions and other horrors from beyond. The story for the game may have been explained in previous titles, but it’s easy enough to grasp for someone like me jumping into the newly released fifth iteration of the series to pick up. There is almost no plot in I’m on Observation Duty 5, but the game really doesn’t need one. So, I may be late to the party on this one, but it’s a pretty cool party. It’s still an innovative idea and a unique way to present a horror title, and clearly people are enjoying the series. So, I thought this was a relatively new kind of game, but it turns out that developer Notovia has been working on this series since 2018. When the I’m on Observation Duty 5 game first popped up on my Steam suggested games list, I didn’t realize that it was the fifth game in a long-running series (not noticing the 5 at the end of the title).
