About the Game

In The Overseer: Field Trials, your observation, memory, and reaction skills will be put to the test. It's an atmospheric walking simulator in which you have to remember the default area setup and report whether an anomaly has occurred in subsequent loops. Report correctly several times to win, but make a mistake and your progress resets. Most anomalies are harmless reality distortions, but some entities may break through into our world—if they do, you'll need to run. Just don't forget to report in the chaos.
