Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

I'm on Observation Duty is a brilliantly tense and unique take on the horror genre. It successfully weaponizes the uncanny valley and our own visual fatigue. You play as a security operative watching live CCTV feeds, and your only job is to spot 'anomalies'—anything from a chair moving a few inches to a literal monster appearing in the background.

The game is a masterclass in slow-burn dread. It requires intense focus and memory, as you have to constantly recall exactly what each room looked like five minutes ago. The satisfaction of spotting a subtle change and reporting it before things get out of hand is incredibly rewarding. It’s an essential experience for fans of psychological horror and those who enjoy games that test their observational skills to the limit.

Tips & Walkthrough

The Memory Bank

Start each night by taking a mental 'screenshot' of the most complex rooms, like the kitchen or library. Focus on the number of objects on tables first, as those are the most common anomalies.

Gameplays

Reporting Strategy

Don't guess! Filing a false report takes time and can lead to 'Anomaly Overload.' Only report when you are 100% sure an object has moved, disappeared, or changed.

Screenshot

Q&A

Anything from a painting changing its face to a door opening or an extra object appearing in the scene.

Meh

The closest I could get to the other original games on my phone. Everything is black and white, no option for color, which makes it hard to see lighting anomalies among other stuff. There is no content on the game to show you what certain anomalies look like, like the “abyss” and what not. Not to thrilled with the game, especially after having to pay for it.

Pretty much unplayable

Sat Mar 19 2022 change the games name.

Graphics are pixelated and colors make it difficult to see anomalies. It’s a great game, but not on mobile. It’s not worth downloading, let alone paying for. If they updated the graphics and made scrolling better (like at least with a loop function, the scrolling is clunky and you get to the last cam, you gotta scroll back to the first, rather than being able to continuously go through the cams) I’d feel that it was worth it. As it is now, I’ve had it for about 10 minutes and won’t go back to it. Love the game, it’s just not enjoyably playable. All I could see were the problems with the game, one of them being that I can literally NOT see all the objects in the game, barring me from actually playing.

Needs a Graphic Update

Love this game on pc and thought I’d check out the game on mobile. The graphics on the mobile version really need an update. I bought this game to see how bad the graphics really were and wow it’s almost unplayable. You’re supposed to basically spot the difference in this game but you can’t do that if the graphics make everything look the same. It’s so pixelated and dark with no contrast it makes it hard to see anything in general. It really needs to be updated. I hope this gets an update for the graphics and becomes good like the pc version.

Great game, needs slight improvement

Wed Feb 09 2022 Arbiter from Halo 2

i really wish the other games were on here too great game, but just a little too blurry to see what exactly is going on, which causes me to miss when small things were gone, misplaced, or when there was an extra one, really hope this gets fixed but otherwise i've been playing this since i got it like 2-3 days ago

Great game, But quality is low

Mon Mar 06 2023 Jade Thonheart

The game is great and has alot of the mechanics from the original game on this port, But the quality could be greatly improved on since most devices could handle the better 3D graphics the origins have. But other then that, Great port, Would love to see motr games ported and improved upon!

Exciting game but lost in the graphics

Thu Apr 21 2022 ahxhcjc

With the coloring and the size you can’t see as much detail causing you to miss little things. I turned my brightness up on my phone in hopes to see more, yet I’m still having issues seeing all the little details. Other than that it’s a fun exciting game that keeps you on your toes.

Such a fun, unsettling, but addictive game

This developers knows how to make the game a fun scary time without overly using jump scares as it’s primary way of scaring you. Seeing objects move or paintings change accomplish making you feel unsettled but wanting to play more and more! Making the swiping to next camera a bit easier or making it a button to swap to the next camera would be so much better. I hope I see your sequels on the App Store or just adding more levels and scares! Please I need more on IOS! Such a great concept!

Too blurry to see

Sat May 07 2022 corlip123

My husband and I have so much fun playing this on PC, and I was so excited to find out it was on mobile, but it's just way too blurry to be playable. I also wish the cameras looped instead of having to swipe back and forth through them. These are great games and I suggest getting them on PC if you can! They just need to be better quality on mobile.
