The Overseer: Field Trials

You see these 3 creepy and interesting anomalies shown right in the first shop page trailer? This is probably the best the game has to offer. From there it's all downhill. In my 30 minutes I had runs with 5 instances back to back with absolutely no anomaly, extremely stretching my attention span and being basically boring. It's not even creepy or interesting. I gave this game a try because the trailed looked nice but if the trailer already showed me the best of the game, I can't recommend this game, as much as I appreciate any indie dev making a game. Also, Controller stick drift due to no hard coded death zone. You'll always be gliding above the floor. My recommendations to the dev to make this game better: - instead of 50/50 chance for anomalies, make it 75/25 or adjust the anomaly chance dynamically for each no-anomaly instance to keep the game interesting - also please decide what you want the game to be - scary? atmospheric? story driven? As for now, it's just boring since it lacks all of that. - give the player and indicator on what the current reported flag is since the current reporting controls don't give any feedback on whether they have locked in

It’s a pretty straightforward game where you’re walking through maps and looking for changes. Some of these are subtle, like objects moving, while others have a slightly creepy vibe. It’s not very scary, but it does a good job of keeping you alert. If you enjoy games that test your attention to detail with a bit of eerie atmosphere, it’s worth a try.

It's an anomaly game. It has a cat. You can pet the cat. That should be enough reason. If you want more though... For the price point this game is way cheaper than it should be in my opinion. On the surface it's an anomaly reporting game, but behind that it has an actual story line that drives together why you're where you are and doing what you're doing. Ultimately it's a part of the Overseer universe, and while there are currently only a few maps, it has potential for possible future expansion. The game can be completed quickly if you have a much better memory than I do, but that doesn't mean you'll get to experience everything it has to offer in one run. The replay value lies in finding the anomalies you haven't seen yet, and the ability to pet the cat. Because cat is priority :D It's cheap. It's fun. Scare your friends. Scare yourself. Pick it up and try it out for yourself.

Known experience of Exit 8 type of games in a nice package. Overall, the game is well made and provides satisfying dose of entertainment. Hunting for all anomalies can take some time, as some can be sneaky, but that's the beauty of it - you focus harder and harder, and then you get spooked by the faintest of scares. There are some jumpscares, there are some creepy moments, there are some chases - everyone should find something they (dis)like :D

Solid anomaly hunting game. And there is a cat. Gameplay review: https://youtu.be/fLcCxlVSihM

A great game that's similar in nature to Exit 8! If you enjoy "spot the anomaly" games, you're sure to love this one as well. The price is really cheap for what you're getting, so it's money well spent. You can pet the cat AND meet a BIG FREN! If you're on the fence, DO IT. :) Also, "GO AWAY, ERIC!"
