The 'Spot The Difference' genre of indie horror gets a welcome rethink with a stylish Japanese subway aesthetic, and PT-esque location-looping putting players directly in the thick of the spooky anomalies. For me, it's a more engaging shift from the screen-watching of cult breakout I'm On Observation Duty, with spookiness ranging from the head smackingly subtle to the downright startling. All anomalies feel like they play fair, and there's extra fun in finding them all (with a convenient counter supplied), and entering into some of their fail states. Simple, but cheap fun. High on quality with potential to do more.

A cool setup, but I found myself overanalysing the scenes to an unnecessary degree, killing any atmosphere that may have been created. It also made the loop feel repetitive very quickly. Not really sure how to solve for that issue in my particular case, as the details I was inspecting did add to the environment, and I’m not sure how you could point away from them without being too obvious.
Una idea simple : encuentra las diferencias. Cada vez que pasas por el pasillo, si todo está bien, sigues. Si no, das la vuelta. Hasta llegar a la salida. Las diferencias tienen un toque un poco turbador (las hay de audio también), por lo que estás en cierta tensión.
Es un concepto interesante, muy creepypasta, te da un par de horas de juego y es muy barato, así que todo bien

For what is essentially a spot the difference puzzle, it has no right being this unnerving.
I will admit to initially just doing laps thinking I was gonnae get jumpscared and then have credits roll, but I never thought it would come in the form of me noticing that the number on a sign had suddenly changed. I stopped dead in my tracks and felt a cold tingle down my back. A fucking number on a sign.
As the amount of remaining anomalies went down to the single digits, I found myself sweating at the idea of my friend not coming round that corner.

O conceito desse game apesar de abordar o tema clichê das Backrooms é único e criativo com uma jogabilidade que de início aparenta ser simples, mas ao decorrer do jogo demonstra que é necessário muita atenção do jogador para que haja o avanço dos níveis. Além disso, o terror psicológico acontece de uma forma que nunca tinha visto outro game utilizar. Então, se você for jogar, desejo boa sorte para encontrar a saída. Ah, e antes que eu esqueça, lembre - se disso: nem tudo é o que aparenta ser.
Very simple premise that I felt was executed well. I thought it wasn't particularly scary when I first started, but then felt myself start to get a bit on edge the more I played. However, by the end, I felt less tense and more just focused on spotting the anomalies taking away any of the fear as I became more familiar with what I might see. Overall it does not overstay its welcome and is worth trying out if the concept even remotely appeals to you.
Similar to the Observation Duty games, gotta spot the differences in each loop to successfully make it out.
It's super cheap, a decent time and especially great for streaming with friends and gaslighting yourself.
I'd recommend it, fun take on the spot the difference games and a little nostalgic for me after the Japan trip.

It's a simple game and simple concept, but it nevertheless takes you through the suite of human emotions: bafflement, total psychosis, and sweet gratification. It's of course fun just solving each anomaly, but the process of sharpening the speed and accuracy of your recognition and memory on each run ads an extra fun gamey element to the end of one's playthrough.
it's more of a Spot the Difference game than it is a horror game and that's fine it kind of just reminded me of that really popular YouTube video that's like how-to-make-realistic environments in blender idk something like that
not really worth 4 bucks though in my opinion since you can beat it in like 10 minutes

Una experiencia corta, acabo de pasarmelo ahora mismo. Aunque sea corta, y no tenga un ambiente muy de terror, ha sido capaz de sacarme un buen susto sin el uso de jumpscares. No contiene lore porque no es necesario. Te lo puedes pasar al 100% en menos de 2 horas.
Una vez te sabes las anomalías se vuelve demasiado fácil, así que tiene sentido como experiencia única, y por 3 euros me parece una buena relación calidad-precio
