Is there a way to lower the volume on the sound when you change camera's? Or perhaps get rid of it? Triggers my tinnitus Dx

Finally got around to playing the game and I can't wait to see what the rest of the levels are like!

It was a lot of fun. I like that it uses live-action footage instead of 3D environments like most other games in this genre.

RIV3R!!! MAKE A NEW MAP,AND MY LIFE.. IS YURS!!!!

this is good

It's okay, but pretty inconsistent sometimes. There's a open closet, but you have to click on open/closed door, other times you see still standing or moving shapes, and you have to choose multiple times, because it's inconclusive, wether it's Ghost, a human form or shadow

Such a cool game! The real-life footage adds to the creepiness already there for these types of games. Awesome awesome game.

Here's my gameplay of the first level :)

bro... this game is so creepy, I have a great experience playing.

Can someone help me? It seems whenever I try to play clicking on a map it only goes a blue screen, no cams whatsoever. even if I try to next cams still blue screen.

me n my sister play it together, very spooky and fun! :]


Edit: when I got itch.io as an app on my windows the first thing I downloaded was this game, but after a while playing it my whole computer shut down. It's got back to my sister and told us that maybe it was the game I downloaded, is there any way that this is not the case or there was something wrong with the game that caused my computer to crash?

Loved it!

i love this game i got so scared make more

Next update when ? i been waiting forever

Very scary - I liked how the paranormal entities moved across the screen. When you're focused intently on the details of the room, you don't expect any movement at all and it got me a few times. What I would say is that, on the second level, the object placed on the door handle in the room with the bin bags in it, was classed as 'monster/ghosts/alien' and it took a while to figure out because it looked like a brown object - I remember it being in another room as an anomaly and it was just classed as 'extra object'. The other thing was that, on the third level, the anomalies aren't consistent between camera shots (e.g., if a bottle has moved in one camera angle, it will have stayed in the same place in another angle of the same room). I'm not sure if this was intentional or not to make it easier but I know that it might be difficult to make it consistent given that it's based on real images that are tampered with. Maybe, if you were to update the game, you could make it so there could be multiple anomalies in one room - I know this will take longer to produce but I think it would throw the player off and definitely make it more difficult. The jumpscares were amazing though and the game is a really good recreation of Observation Duty. I really enjoyed - props to the creator(s). 

P.S. - I didn't realise it was available on the app store - it would be really fun as a mobile app

That one jump scare (Laugh emoji)  where i jumped out my seat, LOVED THE GAME, especially the creepy man:

It is very interesting, I had never played a game like this before, it was very difficult for me ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ 

(-3)

no way that you are a vtuber having that avatar with such a boobs.

 i'm trying to establish a relationship with my succubi and sometimes my body starts to move frenetically up and down, and a lot of cum came out. damn... i really type it 

thank you XD hahaha

How do I unlock the other levels??

Get more stars by completing the same level multiple times!

Very fun, it had me both laughing and fearing for my life in several moments. I also hate the nursing home with a passion, it was so creepy.

(1 edit)

Love this game so far! but when ever i try to report a anomaly it comes up false even its something thats obviously a anomaly like a ghost or human figure, hope this gets fixed

Absolutely fantastic game! Can't wait for future updates! :D My only issue is the crashing. The game crashes and closes quite often around the 2-3am mark. If I manage to get passed 3am I've had no issues. It's super strange :O

Hey! its been a while since you last updated this game. I'm hungry to continue playing it on PC. Any plans so far? Schedules?

Thank you

(1 edit)

Cool idea, it get's a bit frustrating when you report the anomaly and that shadow figure is not an alien, but a human form for example and lose points because of that.

Broader categories for things that are ambiguous or make both count maybe on some apparitions? The switch sound is a bit too loud and gets quite annoying. 

The real video Footage definitely makes it creepier, especially when you focus on the darker areas.

i like the use of real video footage here - just gives it a very unique feel! would love to see this expanded with more levels :)

why were they there? what was that noise? stop being so scary!

This is a great game and very creepy at times! Just one thing, do you think it’s possible to make it so instead of switching cameras with the arrows, there would be a map in the corner (like in fnaf) where you could click the different locations on the map? It would make it easier to navigate cameras. Other then that, this game is amazing, keep up the good work!

you can switch through with wasd

(1 edit)

my game  keeps crashing whenver im almost at the half of the game it always shows the unity crash handler or in short it keeps crashin

How do I actually play I can't seem to figure it out?

arrow keys to arrows on screen to move from cam to cam then when you spot something different click the button on the bottom right the click the one you think it is then click send and see if your right

10/10 game, keep up the good work

hi! i just downloaded the game and it's in Spanish is there any way to change it to English? cause i don't see an option to do s

Hello,

Game uses the system language. You can try changing windows language. Maybe I can add language selection in the future.

I would assume that the latest two new updates that were dropped are probably still being worked on a bit since there's not notes of them, so far having rechecked just the first one and came across two new Anomalies, gotta admit that one new anomaly in the Kitchen took me much longer than I would like to say to realise with how obvious it is once you Do actually notice it XD. Also I finally managed to report the boxy shadow thingy! Though to be fair it was mostly due to the mindset that I had at the beginning that since the anomaly actually went away by itself that then it wasn't one I had to report, which only changed with the later maps.

As for the  new map now, some minor mistakes on the sentences of the beginning message is also part of the reason I believe it's still worked on but other than that damn is it another hit level! Plenty cams being real zoomed in that make you feel as if something could jump right up to you at Any moment and some two dark spots, Cam 4 especially which is basically just two big closets really make me quite uneasy feeling like a Boogieman bouta leap leap out when I list expect it! Once again another neat atmosphere! In general my share of Anomalies that haunt seem to really hate the lights or are just jerks as in like every run they seem to constantly either mess with them by turning them off or flickering them and I'm fairly certain I've had a few cases where they had messed with them about 7 or 8 times and almost in a row, talk about some energy freaks!

Also damn, what was Grandma doing when she was there because boi are there a whole bunch of dudes there!

Hello,

Thank you for the good review again. Some cameras are zoomed much to create more tense. Can you please tell me the English mistakes in the opening story detail window. ? I actually corrected one (changed follow cameras to watch cameras)

One thing would be the "The daughter never believes that her mother could commit suicide" I'm fairly certain instead it should be "The daughter never believed her mother would commit suicide" and the other thing is more of me making sure about one thing, by the old woman and the girl's mother is referring to the same person so basically after she died she had been paranormally making calls to her daughter telling her that there's something in the house and that she isn't alone?

Ok cool, thank you!

No problem!

First time playing a game like this! Looking forward to playing more ^_^

Hi! I recently made a video on your game "Shark Puppet Plays Paranormal Inc" And the first level was very scary. when that man in cam 2 popped up right in my face I screamed.

(+1)

Having played from all the four maps currently and also having gotten a perfect score on hard difficulty on each map at least twice there are some things I would like to talk about the maps and the anomalies that they have.

Starting with the first one, the first experience people get in the game although it's just a normal apartment it still gives off that slight uneasiness of things that might be lurking around or trying to invade with a really nice usage of the Human Shaped most notably on Cam 3 when it's peaking and Cam 2, every time I'm passing to the second cam I'm always tensing up to prepare myself against it and that Bastard somehow always decides to pop up the ONE time I'm not actually prepared for it! And then the screamy boxy shadow thingy, hate that thing! And I still don't even know if it is something I can report because I either freeze or immediately switch camera and then forget to try. Then for the ghosts/reflections the Cam 3 one is a decent one as well as that fish eye effect looking one while the long white dress and long hair covering face one is good too but a bit meh, mostly on later maps as a ghost and not a reflection as you barely can even see it. Also the reflections and Animal Shaped reports feel a tiny bit as wastes as at least to my experience they're only really used on the first map, there might perhaps be a mirror reflection on that one mirror on the third map as well but so far haven't encountered it.

Next would be the second Map, man the goosebumps that this one gives! By this point you would have done a bunch of runs on the first map depending on how quickly you get used to the game and would have gotten used to the rooms being pretty full and having to look at every little thing but then you arrive here, most rooms are either 100% or 90% empty and you're like:
"Oh, oh hell nah!" especially with how dark Cam 7 is, with that one I'm Even more tense every time I pass by it than previously with Cam 2! On the previous map you at least felt some faaaint sense of familiarity because at least it was a decent looking apartment but this one is so dark and empty that makes you wanna hit that Scooby Doo run! Once again nice usage of the Human Shaped and also the game "teaching" you at certain occasions you will see something moving and although afterwards it's gone or stops moving the anomaly actually still remains therefore you still have to report which is a neat addition, one that you have to keep in mind. Notable mentions: 1. The first case of a Shadow anomaly, really creepy! Yo see that it's moving yet you can't really distinguish the shape therefore it's quite frightening to the mind! 2. The chair that judges you on Cam 5. 3. The monster/alien rubber cockroach looking things of Cam 1, every time i see those things they give me a shiver on my spine, especially when it's on the handle of the door therefore it being closer to us! 4. The trolling anomaly, the object under the cloth on Cam 3 I believe is quite a troll towards us because from the previous map we've gotten used to that one human shaped that likes to chill on two different spot under a blanket and here your brain might make you rationally think that's the case again yet it's just an object!

Map 3. This one, I personally think it's a little anti climatic, other than a singular case of a human shaped peaking above the table and then going back down the other ones feel a bit meh, especially on Cam 1 when you only see just some fingers, I feel that the Human Shaped are a lot scarier when their either staring at you, peaking at you, slowly coming out to peak at you, straight up coming at you or quickly moving past your screen and not too much when they're just casually walking though that could just be a preference, in General this one map seems a bit too bright and too jam-packed with stuff to quite make you feel scared especially as there does not seem be too many "odd" anomalies, the weird sound anomalies would be quite more interesting if some where directional audio whispers to really mess with you, or gurgling sound or the high pitched ones of cam 1 from the fourth map, the rest are fairly normal for the most part at least. One more thing to add for this one map is that with my last run on it towards the end I got a bug where after switching to a camera the screen would completely remain with a blue screen even if I switched again to another one while if I tried to pause the game would completely freeze and I would have to close the app and reopen it but this one bug has only happened to my like twice, that second time that it happened though I was getting really close to the end so I instead decided to stick with it first until I finish, I couldn't see anything other than the blue screen, the reports, the camera switch buttons and the pause button but I could hear the ksssss of the cameras though for two back to back rooms there was no sound at all, that made me believe that there were anomalies on those rooms so as I was running out of time I decide to go for some blind shots just to see if I could guess them, I go to the first one, tap Displacement, it's Correct! Then I go to other one, Disappeared, and it was correct as well! Bam just like that! With that I ended up getting a 109% Score of 25/23 Anomalies and 0 false reports! XD

And now lastly we have the fourth map! At my first attempts it seemed that this would have been another not quite as scary one but then we started getting some reeeally neat Human shaped, especially the one that literally jumps at you, grabbing the camera and disconnecting it! That was another good one! As well as I mentioned earlier about the weird sounds of Cam 1 and with a decent  atmosphere of a rather old house! Decent experience! Though it was just the Shadow anomaly of Cam 4 that didn't feel quite as scary compared to that of the second map as it was completely still, we could easily tell what it looked like and it felt a bit more like a discount Maleficent XD.

All in all  1 2 and 4 map are pretty scary with their own different kind of things while the third one is a tad bit under performing,  also while I was typing I randomly found out that the one anomaly that kills you if you stay in one screen for too long or have too many active anomalies for some time was changed a bit and this time does actually make a sound while it's attacking, neat! Though there's just one thing that I'm wondering, does the "Other" anomaly report have even any use currently or will it probably be used on some future maps?

(1 edit) (+1)

Wow! Very detaied and good review! Every map tries to have  it's own style. Some maps may lower the tense a bit. I hope you liked this way also. Thank you very much sharing your expriences with us. "Other" anomaly will be replaced with "Image/Photo Change" anomaly since "Other" will be no use as obvious.

Heh, appreciated! Honestly never expected seeing myself actually make a review and with such details as well but here we are, so far it has certainly been a nice experience and I'm quite looking forward to see what else might follow in the future! Ah so the Other report will be to get replaced, interesting, and certainly would be neat to see some more usage on some of the other kind of reports!

Very creepy, and very fun. Played it with my sister (She jumped a lot.) My only complaints are that in the first map, the hand on the glass in the kitchen shouldn't be classified as a reflection, when it slowly creeps up and is clearly on the other side of the glass... Second map was too easy, but was also probably the creepiest, other than that great game, had a lot of good scares

Thank you very much for the feedback. I agree to this hand thing anomaly. I will change it to Ghost/Alien/Monster.

Oh, perfect! That's what me and my sister thought originally, so that would be very helpful, thanks!

All seems to work well now!

And dear god that boxy shadow thingy that moves towards you and screams really gets me!

Glad to hear that!

It gets me too, lol

Gameplay ESPAÑOL.

Nice game really like the real life concept.

my game keeps on crashing

Greetings, I just recently came across this game from videos that I have seen and I gotta say, it's a pretty decent experience! The atmosphere, the real life pics adding a different kind of uneasiness and I gotta admit, I was gotten pretty good by two different jumpscares!

The first being some square shadow thingy that looks as if it's falling down or trying to enter through the camera, never get to get a better look as my reflexes always switch to another cam and then the sound that plays when the human shaped appears as shown as the main image of the game's icon, pretty spooky!

Other than working on figuring out the anomalies and stuff in order to be able to clear the Hard difficulty there is just one thing that I'm having a bit of a difficulty understanding, that one ghostly sock puppet thingy that occasionally appears and attacks you, how do we avoid that? So far I've had like 3 completely different cases of it appearing with the 4th one being similar to the third but lost in a different way, the first time it did I was at too many anomalies alert and therefore I thought it was just the game over screen from that, in the second one it simply appeared when I did not have the anomaly alert, the third was in the living room of the first area, the contrast/colours of the screen then were suspicious looking and I thought it was something I had to report but it appeared and killed me, so at least I knew that on that screen it did actually have an indication, so with the last encounter I got to the living room again, the screen was once again the same way suspicious so I switched cameras while I still had the chance! Buut it still ended up getting me and died.

I'm rather clueless on what I'm really supposed to do with that one, I was thinking that it probably had a chance of it appearing if I was switching the cameras too quickly but I'm fairly certain after the second attack I have been a lot more patient with the switching.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback and support!

When you first hear that whispering sound and get attacked, it means two things.

1. You are too slow to switch cameras, you stand still at one camera, or you switch back and forth between the same 1-2 cameras.  If you stay on the same 1-2 cameras for too long (around 50-60 seconds), you get noticed by entities. For gameplay aspect,  this also  prevents cheating.

2. If you switch cameras regulary but again you get attacked, it means there are too many active unremoved anomalies. There are more than 3 anomalies in different cameras but you don't see it. You need to look more carefully.  In easy and normal mode you hear whispering sound and " Too many active anomalies" message just before the attack. But in hard mode, you don't get warned before the attack.

I hope this explanation helps.

Hakan

Ahhh so in Hard mode we don't actually get notified about that and therefore are more likely to get attacked by it if we're not too wary of the Anomalies, the continuous quick checking then rotating of the camera is actually the strat then, that's good to know, thanks a lot for the info!

Oh also there are two things that I would like to report with the mobile version, I'm on android and occasionally when I'm switching cameras before it shows me the new camera it will instead for a second show me a previous screen that I had gone through which messes me up for a moment quite a bit because that quick glimpse will confuse me on where I'm at at the moment and even more so because the depiction of said screen is one from before I had reported the anomaly so with something big like the human shaped under the blanket or shut down lights almost makes me do a false anomaly report, unless if this is just part of the game or something.

And lastly it would be about reflections on the glass and mirror, with cases that I've had I either could easily tell that I had to deal with a reflection because after switching to the screen for a second a blue square would cover the whole glass/mirror reflection with afterwards appearing properly and on another occasion it was the exact opposite, when I switched to a camera I could actually see the reflection itself during the "screen loading" before I could actually see the room.

(1 edit)

I will release an update for these two things you mentioned. This happens on relatively slower devices on which the syncronization can't happen properly. Please check the version 5.3 and above soon(in a couple of hours). And tell me if this issue fixed or not. Thank you.

Certainly

Alrighty I checked it out, the reflection thing seems to be persistent but more in the sense of after the next screen loading the whole reflection will be covered by a blue square for half a second and then it will go away to reveal the reflection rather than the reflection itself being visible in the screen loading and as for the short glimpse of a previous screen when it does occur it's when there is actually an anomaly on the current screen therefore it actually helps out, though by this point I suppose it's due to the device that I have unless other's come across the same thing as well, also actually managed to get 2 perfect successes so far with the first map so that's a win! It certainly is a good thing that false reports don't seem to reduce the score.

my game has a blue screen ,_,
