Project13: Nightwatch

Little to no indication of what you are looking for. "Its not easy" only goes so far. I see a man clipping inside a generator, not an anomaly. 2 men clipping inside each other, not an anomaly. The sensitivity doesn't change when you zoom in. Holding down right click for the entire game time is TERRIBLE for hand cramps. Waiting for all the dudes to enter the building is a needless waste of time. This one tried some new ideas but this was not it.

A rather relaxed anomaly search game. As others already wrote, it can be fun or not. It depends on the type of player. In my case, I think it's a nice idea and you can definitely spend a few hours playing it. Especially because some anomalies are not easy to discover. However, there is one thing that really bothers me. And that is that you have to hold down the right mouse button to use the binoculars. Toggling by clicking would be much better here. And not quite as bad, but also a little annoying, is that the night vision device is only available for a few seconds and can only be used again after a short waiting time.

Love the project 13 games...This one was different but was still awesome. Kind of like a eye spy book lol. Hope more games from this studio are on the way.

Project13: Nightwatch turns the familiar anomaly-spotting formula into a tense surveillance assignment built around patience, visual awareness, and quick judgment. Developed by DRYBREAD and VirtualVillain and published by Glacier LTD, the game places you in the role of a Nightwatch Observer responsible for guarding the Motherbase of the mysterious Project 13 organization. Rather than wandering freely through a haunted environment, your job revolves around maintaining security and preventing potentially dangerous Observator Prisoners from infiltrating headquarters. The central gameplay mechanic is deliberately simple but capable of producing considerable tension. Armed with advanced binoculars, you continuously examine the surrounding area and watch approaching individuals for anything that seems abnormal. A prisoner may appear harmless at first glance while concealing an anomaly that becomes apparent only through careful observation. The game consequently rewards concentration more than reflexes. Small behavioral differences, unusual appearances, suspicious movements, and strange environmental phenomena can become important clues, making every approaching figure something worth st…

This is by far the most difficult anomaly/observation type game I've played. I have yet to beat it, and have only spotted a handful of anomalies. It's quite hard to grasp how it works at first, and knowing what to even look for, but I'm slowly understanding more and more. Now there are some things I wish they would fix. It would be nice if the binoculars were toggle to use, rather than hold, as I do feel it in my finger after holding down right click for a long time. The sensitivity while zooming in is also kind of annoying to deal with, and makes it hard to focus on them. Would also be great if the night vision didn't have a use limit (before recharging), it gets annoying just waiting for the battery to replenish. And, while not gameplay related, a way to limit framerate would be nice as I don't need my GPU to work its ass off to give me 400+ fps when my frame can only show 155hz anyway. Despite of these things, I still find the game enjoyable in short bursts, and I really hope I can finish this and get all the achievements (which I always do in anomaly games, I always go for the 100%). It's a very underrated game, with barely any players these days, and I wish it had a bigger pla…

This is an experience for $4 that you should really give a shot. I spent $4 to turn something into poop, this is way better than that.
