I think the problem with the game is that evidence gathering and anomaly fixing are mutually exclusive. You either focus on one or the other. I think the best fix would be to tie certain anomalies to certain evidence. Like ghosts have a chance of leaving EMF after fixing them, or moved objects get fingerprints on them after fixing. That way, if you don't see an evidence after a certain number of anomalies, you could rule out that particular evidence.

[@PeaNutttyyy]

Yes.

[@DeathlyDrained]

I'm mean, he did just fine through the game.

[@fox7757]

@@DeathlyDrainedwith chat’s help. Without them, he would’ve done bad and failed many times. Probably would catch some Anomalies but there would be too many and subtle changes to keep track of.

[@finian2]

It doesn't help that he was playing on hard mode. He literally has a camera that he could use to save what the rooms look like with no anomalies, which he could then use to compare and confirm suspicions.

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

I love how you know you got the guess right after immediately sending the report that the EMF bar goes down

[@shuckLedurkins]

I want an observation game where there is a section you are being chased so you run through the rooms you are observing to survive, but the objects can be moved so if you are being chased you wanna try your best to not knock or move anything over or it will be harder when you return back to observing. I also realize you could cheese it by intentionally moving objects but I’m sure if you have a fast killer trying to do that would be difficult

[@Midorikonokami]

There is a chasing section in the hospital one

[@shuckLedurkins]

[@shuckLedurkins]

@@ValdoYo I guess but there is like 50 different versions so I think you’re right

[@SuperfrostyJr33]

You could be an actual night guard or something like that in the game, so you have to periodically patrol the area, hiding or looking for a way to deal with whatever is in there with you idk

[@wowenkho]

Maybe they could do something like in Obsideo where you guess the ghost by observing the various things it does in the location and how often it does these things. So you gotta know the ghost by the kind of things it does while you also still try "cleaning up" when you notice these things because having too much anomalies makes the location possessed too much by the ghost or something. .

[@Frozendown]

Dev. Please make the report default select the current room you're on

[@AriSheeran]

Perfect insym video to watch while I fall asleep and then rewatch when I wake up

[@h2oQueen]

Warka did a really great job on this game. Some of the ghost events took me off guard 😅 Thanks Insym I appreciate you

[@longshot1gg]

I think my biggest takeaway from watching this game is that the more demands you place on the player's concentration (like lots of sneaky anomalies in busy rooms as well as looking for evidence), the less scary the game will be. Maybe this game's design wants to mostly focus on the challenge and memorization part, which is fine, but I definitely enjoy these types of games more when there's more of a focus on an unsettling atmosphere and spooky anomalies/evidence. Getting a good balance between that and the challenge level is pretty difficult.

[@MagusShade101]

they should put the EMF meter on the screen full time. The problem is you are always stuck in the emf mode to find anomalies to not die, and if it was on the screen all the time you could use the other camera modes more.

[@batinahoodie6699]

That's not an anomaly at ten minutes in. She's just practicing for her presentation tomorrow.

[@rutyqutykandi1361]

4:10 its really subtle but the desk with the lamp has a mild shadow under it before disappearing. You can also move the video further back if your having trouble catching it. Its probably just a lighting glitch but that was really creepy to me.

[@DaftyBoi412]

Thanks Obambo!

[@rosenmael9724]

Thanks Obambo!

[@NozdormuFun]

You can take a photo of the hard room in the beginning, and later another photo and compare them

[@skrittle555]

I like the concept but it was kind of frustrating to watch at times. The last map I literally couldn't even tell when an "anomaly" happened most times and the tree one especially felt unfair. Maybe if they made the anomalies less extreme and amped up the availability of evidence. I like the idea of combining OD and ghost hunting though. Just needs some updates to make it a bit more playable.

[@BrandonPatNEGamerzz]

This is a really cool game, but it would be cooler if each ghost type was unique, just like Phasmophobia. For Example: Poltergeist: More likely to cause object movement than any other anomalies. Oni: more likely showing itself as an anomaly than the other ghosts Shade: Never shows itself as an anomaly and/or rarely causes anomaly (which can change depending on the difficulty) Just so the ghosts are identifiable without the need of evidence

[@mataogearsky5353]

1:12:22 The moment he got the picture of the ghost in the kitchen, and marked off the photo evidence, my brain went "Yurei" for some reason, so it felt really wild to be proven right that round.

[@mataogearsky5353]

1:30:47 That has got to be the biggest mug I've ever seen there on the left side. Actually, I should probably phrase that like this: !! HUGE MUG !!

[@jellybelly9376]

does he just not remember playing this game before??? im pretty sure that all the ghost evidence stuff was just a huge update, hes made a video n this game before, the video is called: "it took 5000 people to beat this game" i think so anyway i might be crazy

[@auroraborealis2142]

I remember it too! I felt like I was misremembering so it's nice that someone else remembers😅

[@omgHeYa]

you should use the photo mode to take pictures of the rooms at the start so you can maybe compare after for anomalies

[@gibraltarogrande4749]

Warka is a great dev and chill dude, cant wait for the hauntings

[@ArcRaizer]

Honestly the ghost hunting in this game reminds me of whenever I played with friends in phasmophobia and tried to get like, one or two pieces of evidence to narrow down the ghost before the hunt. Trying to find evidence like dots or spirit box sometimes felt like it took FOREVER and the ghost wasn't doing anything other than maybe touching objects so we couldn't like, sit on top of where it just evented and spirit boxed it, or sometimes looking for fingerprints in certain rooms and it either 1. it never touched anything or 2. we weren't aware that it could leave fingerprints on certain objects (like coolers) so we didn't know what to look for.

[@omgHeYa]

also, elevators door closing might have been because of the difficulty change, maybe harder difficulty makes it randomized?

[@ohnoezitsjoez]

This game makes the other (main?) "The Hauntings" game look very promising.

[@arcanine_enjoyer]

Glad they gave the truck players their own mode! Also, I think this is by far the best Anomaly Hunter game (aside from Dead Signal) in terms of premise/lore. IoOD suffers from the fact that it makes no sense why you are watching some random person's house for anomalies, while this one you can already understand that you are hunting for ghosts.

[@YeezusGhoul]

I honestly think I saw Orbies very early on the couch arm-rest in sitting room the one really long mission. I'm not looking for the timestamp though, I can't be bothered skipping that much. He skipped passed it fast though, so thought it wasn't orbs since it didn't have the chance to move lol.

[@Morncreek]

Is this "brand new" in the sense that it added ghost-hunting as a core game mechanic in addition to the spot-the-difference core game mechanic? Because I remember this game, from what feels like two years ago or more. Insym and other streamers played it.

[@Siegnora]

This game should have key binds to toggle between evidences or light on/off.

[@werekiwi2213]

can’t wait to cozy up and watch this video later today

[@matoiryuko9444]

I would like the dev add a multiplier to how fast you find the ghost like 10min is 1.5x and after an hour it's like 0,95x and just 1.0x in between

[@fabideveloper]

You're epic bro keep it up love to see you play these horror type games

[@alifandaniakbars.ip.3693]

This game is nice, please do more of this 😊

[@Monstrosity993]

The perfect mixture of phasmo and observation duty!

[@drunkengaming4782]

You could keep different evidence on in different rooms and still try see changes I guess.. like u can keep dots on wit one camera and orbs in other.. no point just using EMF non stop, it helps spot things but u have to use other tools too like photo camera etc to cpmpare

[@unachemaxwell]

omfg! That Demon Call was Clutch!

[@danielebranca7823]

i would say that it seems hard to search for evidence, so maybe an evidence event should happen after a determined amount of evidence is found, like every 10, 15?

[@benji8216]

Man this reminds me of the PlayStation game ‘clock tower’ albeit I was like.. 8 years old lmao that game scared the shit out of me and my cousins.

[@daneleventsixti]

for an Observation game that having a bunch of items, it should just like clumps up a group of objects that are placed close together and it would either together be affected by anomallies (either that by changing size, color or completely go missing): That would make rooms allowed to be decorated logically with tons of objects but still fair for players to remember That's just my opinion :)

[@drakero770wintersun7]

I think the "unidentified evidence" means, ghost now can show one more evidence. I believe the ghost does nlt give out all evidence from start. Other ways you could insta find evidence and not even do the observation part

[@joaoarmandowiteck760]

Insym at this point dreams with ghosts.

[@LizardBeardy]

This game reminds me of an idea of a game I had a few months ago.

[@nauaadam2421]

"There was a log right here were you can't see, how did you not see it?" "This log was obviosly on a tree before, did you not see it?" Memes apart, this game seems really nice and fun, really glad someone had this idea.

[@Traylon]

i've forgotten all about the hauntings...i seriously wonder if it's ever going to be released

[@Eddiember]

Did he not play a regular I'm on Observation Duty with this specific Building Layout?

[@lilyn7497]

Most likely yes

[@finian2]

Dude has a camera that he could use to take pictures of the regular rooms to compare with the current state and complains he needs to memorize everything

[@dynastyoverdrive8076]

Ikr, could've taken a picture of each room when it hasn't changed yet to spot the differences more easily lol

[@Muturucgaming]

An elevator shaft anomaly would be awesome

[@princearchfiennes]

Imagine an extra tree in the graveyard💀💀

[@platuro]

Somehow this reminds me way too much of my own Game: Paranormal Observation 😅

[@lou-m6z]

the child of phasmo and i’m on observation duty isn’t real baby it can’t hurt you

[@エレダー]

if it is a limited photo then you can't abuse it, but if it is unlimited photo then yo just capture the photo of at the start and running

[@fiorellaormeno2487]

Should have taken a pic of each room first. Then been able to check back on harder rooms, etc

[@fiorellaormeno2487]

Also I don’t think it was randomized, the elevators were closed. The anomaly was them being open.

[@CrimsonVexiduos]

this game rings a bell

[@rustypwn]

This is the game a dude made after saying that making Im on observation duty games was simple and some random started to lash out at them as if they didn't knew what they were talking about

[@Rileey22]

@Insym I'm pretty sure, you already played this game at an early phase, where it's just wanted to be an observation duty like game and it had only 1 map at that time and you liked the pace of the hard mode (being just an observation game). With the evidence gathering for solo gaming it's harder, but you can always switch down difficulity. So I'm glad the dev is still polishing the game :) Edit: here is the og version I remembered :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoWwi6qVirSVd9ksi=N2xPfBLl5rPdOUS4

Just asking, could it be Paranormal Observation? 😅

[@rustypwn]

This game started after the dev said that it was simple to make Im on observation duty games and some random got angry at them, so the guy literally just made the game and insym played it... seems like they kept development going after that
