DEATHWATCH - PRELUDE

[h1] Observe your surroundings and check your cameras. When you see or hear anything unusual - mark this in your ghost hunting software and get number which you mark thus excluding it from the combination. Your goal is to find the right frequency before ghost catches you. The more clues you gather the more easy it is to break the code and you only have one try. You gonna see different anomalies like blinking lights, voices, markings or objects disappearing. Some of them will mess with your cameras. Overall neat idea but execution leaves something unfinished. Finishing level is quite challenging. Game have some issues with low framerate in the menus. Overall feels basic. More like a novelty than actual game with reliable gameplay. Still worth checking out if you like FNAF like games. [/h1]

VERY SCARY for a demo, this is really well done. i have to say, the tension that arises from monitoring cameras to see for anomalies when you don't even remember exactly how everything is meant to look is truly something. i was on the edge of my seat, and with the added audio triggers i was SCARED. the jumpscare when you get attacked from behind could be a bit scarier though! it's super slow and underwhelming. i suggest one tries the demo before buying the full game because these sort of memory games may not be for everyone! the game brightness is super low on default and many visual changes are quite subtle in my opinion so it's quite stressful indeed

DEATHWATCH - PRELUDE turns the simple act of paying attention into the foundation of its horror. Rather than relying on constant combat or lengthy chase sequences, the game places the player inside a paranormal investigation where carefully watching rooms, listening for suspicious noises, and recognizing unexplained changes are essential. It is designed as an introductory experience to the broader DEATHWATCH concept, so its playable content is deliberately limited, but the premise is established quickly and effectively. Developed and published by GAME JUICE STUDIOS, it feels more like a focused demonstration of an unusual horror formula than a traditional story-driven campaign. The core gameplay revolves around monitoring a haunted location and identifying paranormal events. Cameras provide different perspectives of the environment, and the player must remember what each area normally looks like so that unusual changes can be recognized. Objects, strange appearances, unsettling sounds, victims, and other supernatural activity can potentially indicate that something is wrong. When an anomaly is detected, correctly identifying and reporting it becomes part of the investigation. This…

"DEATHWATCH - PRELUDE" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "DEATHWATCH". DEATHWATCH is a low key Unity asset flip, a basic Five Nights at Freddy's ripoff where, you guessed it, you monitor your cameras and do some platespinning to avoid getting jumpscared. Needless to say, it was a dismal failure here on Steam Direct. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not DEATHWATCH, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "DEATHWATCH - PRELUDE" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $7 USD on buying DEATHWATCH, and I don't recommend you do that either. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube…

Good game, worth trying.
