Surveillance Work | 監視業務 is a premium puzzle game developed by Maki Toguro. It is a psychological horror experience with puzzle-solving elements for its gameplay. In it, players will check surveillance camera footage for any strange anomalies and report what they find before the data gets destroyed. What counts as anomalies are objects increasing, disappearing, or moving.

Similar to Phasmophobia or Little Nightmares 2, Surveillance Work | 監視業務 boasts a dark and atmospheric presentation to complement its eerie gameplay. It features multiple distinct areas spread throughout a large map inside multi-leveled facilities for players to explore and survey.

A keen eye for detail

Surveillance Work | 監視業務 is essentially a spot-the-difference game wherein you're a newly hired observer for Specific Facility Surveillance Work. Your job is to watch camera surveillance footage for anomalies and strange occurrences. You will undergo a five-day probationary period during which time your skills will be assessed and will be paid depending on the true and false reports you submit.

Something paranormal is happening at night, though, and this is where the psychological horror aspect of this horror game comes in. You'll witness objects moving, appearing, and disappearing throughout rooms and areas in the building. There will even be times when strange forces will attempt to destroy the cameras themselves, so you need to act quickly or you’ll lose video evidence.

It's game over if every camera is destroyed or there are too many anomalies left unchecked. You can adjust playtime between 15 and 30 minutes, and there are over 90 anomalies to observe in each facility. There are also 20 possible endings you can unlock. Now, just be aware that this game was developed in native Chinese language and there are some translation errors here and there.
