13 itemsAbout the Game
You are a spectator, working remotely to monitor a CCTV system for suspicious activity. However ordinary the places you monitor might seem, they are sites of paranormal phenomena. Your job is not just to watch, but to identify anomalies that happen and apply the proper countermeasures. Be cautious: Whatever lurks out there will eventually notice it's being watched - and when it starts staring back, it might be too late...
Set in unsettling, everyday places, Spectator taps into the chilling world of creepypasta, drawing inspiration from stories like Slender and the Backrooms to create a deeply disturbing, eerie experience that keeps shifting just when you think you're safe.
Six distinct environments to monitor and observe. Each level can have over sixty different anomalies, generated procedurally to guarantee unpredictability.
Every playthrough is uniquely challenging and scary. Miss too many of the anomalies before 6 AM comes around and whatever's out there will come for you.
Spectator supports ultra-wide screen resolutions, touchscreens, and controllers out of the box, complete with a realistic visual style to enhance the experience.
Community translations were integrated into the game, allowing Spectator to support over 29 languages!
