"Oh hey we made it to 2:00pm" i dont know why, but Dan thinking that this all takes place during the early afternoon vs the middle of the night is the funniest thing ever to me.

I love it when the toilet seat is up because I can't help but imagine a large team of guys in protective gear running into the house, closing the toilet seat, and running out.

[@arealgamer342]

I love to think that exact same thing, but instead of a toilet lid, it's a chair with the intruder in the kitchen. Like, they just kinda rush past him, push the chair back in, and then storm out, just to storm back in like 3 seconds later for the intruder.

[@usagiu]

The intruder appeared when they were looking at other cameras, after they filed the report... quite a lucky coincidence, I must say! The intruder looks very weird... someone in the comments described it as a mutated baby and I think its the closest way to put it into words.

[@stitchfinger7678]

The one real breakdown with this game is, the longer you don't notice an anomaly, the harder it is to see. Anything that isn't literally staring you in the face, will quickly fade into the background. Like, they consistently failed out even when me and an entire room of people couldn't find a single other anomaly. Also its sometimes unclear how to identify things. Also also it was really annoying that the intruder counted as "balcony" when you could only see him from the living room.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

I actually think the idea of things being in one room but only visible from another is kinda genius. It forces you to try and piece together the layout of the house, and makes it feel like an actual place instead of just a sequence of disconnected rooms.

[@xelectrix]

Yea, they never noticed that the number of pills on the table changed. And I think when they finally thought to take note of them the number had already changed.

[@crimsonnin2]

I mean, the whole point of the game is to play mindgames with you and fuck with your perception of reality. It might not be the best at communicating it's mechanics but it's genius in forcing you to think outside the box and making you question your sanity. You can only trust the information you take in towards the beginning of the night. The big scares are meant to disorient you and make the small stuff slip through the cracks. The reporting mechanism is janky and forces you to sit and wait with the anxiety of not knowing whether you're right or not, and the moment when it says no anomaly found you know you've lost the plot. I really like this game conceptually, though I'll concede that the execution isn't 100% perfect.

[@Mage_Chartreux]

Think the fact that not noticing an anomaly means that you think it's normal makes it creepier and cooler. Uses your own perception against you to create an atmosphere of unease ('were there always five chairs here!?')

[@maddieb.4282]

That’s not a breakdown, it’s a challenge mechanic. They expect you to have to work hard to get to know the maps before the game gets easy

[@Snugglebit]

This is definitely one of my top five favorite games they've ever played. The games where they can't get distracted and talk about some nonsense (there are plenty of other videos if I want Grump nonsense) but there's something so enjoyable about how focused they get. It gets me really into it, too.

[@Snugglebit]

@@elijoseph5256 I saw someone say in another comment that apparently a baby appears as an intruder in the bathroom, and people seem to be theorizing that immediately after Arin sent that report and clicked away to other cameras, the baby appeared. That's the only thing anybody can seem to come up with... that they got VERY lucky. But there are a couple moments in the new house episode where they fix an anomaly they're sure of, and when they go back what they reported it for is still there. So I have no clue lmao this game has me baffled.

[@strangeandinteresting]

@@Snugglebit I think that's right. The game doesn't seem to process the anomaly reported until it actually finishes pending the report, and then in that moment checks to see if there's an anomaly of that type in the room. Since one of that type spawned in the room when the report was pending, when it checked the room, it saw the anomaly they'd reported and fixed it, leaving the one they *thought* they were fixing. I like that, though, it fucks with you a little!

So, for those who don't know, I looked up what the blinking light in the kitchen means. Apparently, it's connected to a secret ending: When the blinking light comes on (About 1 AM), click on it, and it starts saying stuff in that weird voice. At 3:30, you're supposed to click on the input button that appears. Type in 2013, and you unlock the secret ending. You only get about 10 ingame minutes to do this. Honestly, I thought it had to do with the intruder that runs up to the balcony (Get there at 3:30 to file the report on him, YKWIM?). Don't know if this was discovered by someone else in the comments, but just wanted to get this information out there for fun.

[@sackfu7952]

Cool game. My only complaint is, that sometimes when you actually do realize something is wrong, it's not always clear what exactly you should report. The fact that they can be so hard to find, i like cause then it makes it a real "You gotta focus" sort of spot the difference game, and you kind of set yourself up for scare, even if they game doesn't jumpscare you or anything, you trying to focus on every little thing still unnerves you and makes you dread what could happen, especially if you haven't played before and THINK this game could possibly contain jumpscares, but then sometimes you spot the difference but you aren't entirely sure what it is and what you should select to report. It looks like it could fit the description of many of them too, so you just end up trying multiple reports which go nowhere and waste time. I do like how different they can be, of course, everything just being so weird and unpredictable really makes this game cool, i just wish it was easier to tell what certain anomalies are when you spot them.

[@helllo4589]

The fifth game pretty much fixed that. I also had that problem, and now you can just report any anomaly but you get three strikes. I really like it, I’m not too sure but I think it’s optional too.
