About I'm on Observation Duty 5

I'm on Observation Duty 5 is the biggest Observation Duty game yet with six unique levels! Gameplay is familiar to those who have played the previous games. The game is part of a series of popular "spot the difference" -type of horror games. In I'm on Observation Duty 5 the players job is to monitor live surveillance camera footage and spot anomalies in the monitored rooms. You can swap between different camera-views. An anomaly means that for example something (e.g. a piece of furniture) has moved, an extra object has appeared or something has disappeared. There's also intruders and ghosts! When you notice something is different in any of the monitored rooms you have to file a report by choosing the right location and type of the anomaly to fix it. Anoamalies appear at random so the player never knows what is going to hapen next. Too many active and unreported anomalies means game over. Goal is to survive long enough (from 00:00 to 06:00 in game time). You will need sharp eyes and good memory to survive the entire night. The game contains psychological horror that mainly comes from making the player paranoid about what has changed in the house. There are also some scary monsters that might appear.

Its a great game but I will admit the anomalies can be tough! I wish the brightness were just a little bit higher though lol still a smidge difficult to see the details far away. But I love IOOD series 10/10. (also the different formatting between levels for reporting anomalies were a bit strange to me but I got used to it) :D

More of the same, and that's exactly what I love! I remember this being where the difficulty started to increase as well, since as the fifth entry in the franchise the playerbase should be all too familiar with how this works by now. Well done!

I 100% Observation Duty 1 to 4. Then I started 5, and it caused me to take a 3 year break from the series. I even did a lot of 6 rather than 5. 1 to 4 are the early games, I love the vibes, though 4 is the bridge between the early and modern games. 5 is the introduction to the modern games, it begins to focus more on horror than the silly stuff. Even so I've always found these games comforting. But 5's vibes are so off, the school map is okay, market map is nice, but metro is awful. And Bank, Apartment and House are just not for me, and I hate the new mode in them, just isn't for me either. Genuinely the worst Observation Duty game in my opinion. I came back after 3 years to try it again, and just... yeah no. I'm moving on to the great improvement that is 6
