A PICO-8 demake of "I'm on Observation Duty"
Here you will need to watch the cameras for several locations and check that no anomalies have occurred. Can you survive from midnight to 6 AM?
đŖ WARNING: This game contains loud and potentially disturbing sound effects.
đšī¸ Controls
- ← / → — Switch cameras
- Z — Open anomaly report menu
- X — Close anomaly report menu
When the anomaly report menu is open:
- ← / → — Switch menu pages
- ↑ / ↓ — Navigate menu options
- Z — Send a report
đĄ How to send a report
If you notice an anomaly:
- Make sure you're on the camera where the anomaly occurred.
- Open the anomaly report menu (press
Z). - Use the arrow keys to select the correct anomaly type from the 8 available options.
- Press
Zagain to send the report.
There are 3 different cameras and over 60 unique anomalies to discover!
đĄ Hints
- âąī¸ 1 in-game minute = 1 real second
- đ§ Some anomalies occur with sound
- â If you miss 4 or more anomalies, you will lose
- đ¨ Every mistake can lead to a new anomaly
- đĩī¸ Some anomalies can be very sneaky, so this is a test of your attentiveness!
This is our first project on PICO-8, so if you have any suggestions, or you notice any bugs, please write about it in the comments.
Oh this was both fun and frustrating in equal proportions!
I really liked it, well done, I played until I won, but I lost a load first.
It gives real horror vibes at points!
Never really played observation duty, but I am at least familiar with the concept. Great idea for Pico. Very nice!
