Developed by<strong> <\/strong>Loxarc Inc., the found footage-style horror sim reportedly uses real stigmatized properties located in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a surveillance officer, it is your job to review footage of stigmatized properties and report any anomalies you find. These come in multiple forms (such as shadowy figures and ghosts, moved furniture, bloodstains, and video distortions), all of which are randomized at the start of every level. It should be noted that the game uses AI-generated content to create some of its anomalies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/horror-20250814-353437-header.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/horror-20250814-353437-header.webp 1600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/horror-20250814-353437-header-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/horror-20250814-353437-header-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/horror-20250814-353437-header-1536x864.webp 1536w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be switching between regular camera footage and night vision cameras to spot irregularities throughout the night. If you manage to spot enough of them and maintain surveillance from midnight until 5 a.m., the job will be completed and you will live to see another day.
