What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Scrutinized features engaging hacking minigames and atmospheric horror that some players find genuinely frightening, but the core phone-hacking mechanic suffers from frustrating design issues including overly tight time limits, imprecise controls that make it easy to overshoot target positions, and severe accessibility problems that lock out players with processing disorders or hearing difficulties. Players' experiences vary widely from finding the game genuinely scary and enjoyable to finding it borderline unplayable due to these design and accessibility barriers.
What can you do in 80 seconds? The best sprinters in the world run 100m in about 10 seconds. How many shopping lists can you write, how many trips to the toilet can you make? The meat and potatoes of Scrutinized is the phone hacking, which involves a crappy minigame where you have to move at least one button along a line until you hear a "ping!". Not intellectually exhilarating, but so far so good. The big problem is that this typically runs on a very, very short timer. The small problem is that, as you rush (and you -have- to rush) to find the correct position(s), it is very easy to go beyond that position. So you backtrack, but often, it is hard to pinpoint it, forcing you to fumble around... and waste even more time. The critical, unforgivable problem is that any failure is punished by an 80 second cooldown before another attempt can be made. As I mentioned before, that hacking element is critical to your investigation. 80 seconds is typically enough to explore the other elements, so you end up waiting. A. LOT. To add insult to injury, for no other reason than to piss off the player, each night of investigation is itself a race against the clock. Since you're fed only one prof…3 found this helpful
