Japan Stigmatized Property -日本事故物件監視協会-

i liked it a lot!

JSP is a game of "spot the difference" with horror elements, like the "I'm on Observation Duty" series and Exit 8. I find it oddly addictive and it got me interested enough to want to clear all the difficulties and most of the achievements (eventually). For me this is easier said than done because there are many anomalies that aren't in-your-face ghosts and apparitions, but simple differences in the cluttered scenery. I also enjoy the eerie atmosphere and the various actually "paranormal" anomalies. The sudden appearance of anomalies when switching cameras can result in a few jumpscare situations, especially on the newest, highest difficulty mission that was added some time after release. Overall it's worth trying out and worth the price if you get into the game.

really thrilling game, i got jumpscared numorous of times but i still love this game to death.

10/10 game, scary and a tension building game, no jumpscares, just a surveillance checking horror game, with a realistic background, and overall well executed anomaly placements, and are random per playthrough, it is a fun game.

Gameplay is just clicking around between various cameras and looking at static images seeing what has changed on them since the last time you viewed it. Going by the trailers I was kind of assuming the "anomalies" would be a lot more obvious but I found myself losing attempts and the summary page was filled entirely with missed reports of "Object Moved" or "Object Manipulated". While playing with with some friends I joked about how the photos were all of messy houses and how I'd probably lose "because one of these dog bowls on the floor will have moved but since the entire place looks like a hoarder house I won't notice it" and honestly that seems to be the actual case. It's really just Five Nights At Freddy's but somehow there's even less to do here. At least when you lose in that game you get an animated jumpscare of some kind, this game the screen just flashes white and tells you you've lost. I like the superstition of "stigmatized properties" as they are in Japan, but this game is just really boring and not very good. There's another game on Steam based on the same folklore that's a lot better and less than half the price.
