Midnight Monitor: Anomaly Watch tasks you with monitoring security cameras throughout a haunted house, scanning each feed for subtle visual differences and strange occurrences to report. The tension comes not from jump scares but from the uncertainty of what you'll encounter when switching between cameras and the challenge of catching every anomaly. It's ideal for players who enjoy observation-based puzzle games with a horror atmosphere.

Midnight Monitor: Anomaly Watch, is developed and published by Viexi Games. It was recently released and is in Early Access.

You have six cameras to watch and report any strange occurrences in a haunted house. You go from camera to camera trying to notice any changes from the last time you looked at it. There is such a long list of anomalies to choose from and submit that it's sometimes hard to pick the correct one. If you pick the correct anomaly, after you submit it then the anomaly gets corrected. If you chose wrong it will tell you "no anomaly found." Then you go to the next room. Cameras are in the Bedroom, Hall way, Kids bedroom, Living room/Kitchen area, Stair well and External area (outside).

Your job is to spot and report any anomalies that occur in the house, such as moving objects, disappearing items, electrical glitches, camera errors, and much more. But be careful, the anomalies are not only watching you, but they are also trying to stop you from reporting them.

Such a fun lil spooky spot the difference game!!
-This game definitely challenges your observational skills
-Not too jump-scary as of right now, however can still be scary as you don't know what to expect when you switch cameras which i find quite enjoyable
-I really enjoy the additional modes that make it extra challenging and more interesting!

i'm looking forward to the future updates! :D
100% worth the price
