  • The game features a simplified reporting system that allows players to click directly on anomalies, making it more user-friendly and enjoyable compared to similar titles.
  • Para Eyes offers a variety of difficulty levels and maps, enhancing replayability and allowing players to gradually learn and adapt to the challenges.
  • The game includes a unique sanity mechanic that adds tension and strategy, as players must manage their sanity while spotting anomalies, and it rewards players with in-game currency for completing levels.
  • Some players find the sanity mechanic frustrating, as it can lead to losing sanity even when anomalies are not visible, making it feel unfair at times.
  • The game may lack sufficient jump scares or truly scary moments, which could disappoint players looking for a more intense horror experience.
  • There are concerns about the game's performance on certain systems, with reports of high resource usage that could affect gameplay experience.

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a unique sanity mechanic that adds tension, as players lose sanity over time from undetected anomalies, creating a sense of urgency and challenge. While the anomaly reporting system is user-friendly and encourages replayability with themed packs, some players find the sanity drain frustrating, especially when anomalies appear off-camera. Overall, the game offers a streamlined experience with familiar concepts from the observation duty genre, enhanced by new mechanics that keep it engaging.

    • “Overall, if you like the very specific, challenging gameplay part of this game, this may appeal to you.”
    • “I love this observation duty style game the most because of how user-friendly it is - the anomaly reporting mechanic is very easy to use, simply clicking on the anomaly.”
    • “Love this game; if you enjoyed Observation Duty, then this is a great variation with some cool new mechanics that keep the game from getting boring over time.”
    • “This is only a talking point and an issue because if something disappears or moves off-camera as the first to fifth anomaly (before you even get a sense of where things are) and you can't find it, or you just can't keep track of items in general, the entire run is just over and doomed before it begins due to the timed tick of sanity drain from those anomalies, and you never get sanity back (not even from finding other anomalies, which would make sense mechanically if it was in here- you'd lose sanity over missing/not noticing them for a while, but gain it back for finding them finally).”
    • “Perhaps my one and only gripe is the sanity mechanic.”
    • “The logic of that mechanic would be that you/the character feels almost gaslit.”
  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game boasts high replayability due to its engaging mechanics, including unlockable themed anomalies, tiered difficulty levels, and a sanity system that enhances gameplay. Players appreciate the variety and progression offered, even in its early access state, making it enjoyable to revisit. The addition of new anomaly types and packs further enriches the replay experience.

    • “Either way, it's a really enjoyable and satisfying game and much more replayable than I expected it to be.”
    • “The difficulty levels make it super replayable.”
    • “Para Eyes lets you see the anomalies you fix, and as you progress through the game, you get to add more anomaly types, giving it even more replayability.”
    • “The structure of the game allows for way more replayability and progression, and it's only in the early stages of early access right now.”
    • “While there's only 2 right now, there are anomaly packs which add themed sets of extra anomalies, some of which add new gameplay elements!”
    • “I'm really enjoying it and can't wait for more content, but it’s replayable even in its current state which is really fun!”
  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its spookiness and immersive quality, with users appreciating the detailed graphics and the eerie settings, particularly on the campground map. The inclusion of various creatures and the ability to easily interact with anomalies enhance the overall experience, making it stand out among similar titles. Players express a desire for additional content to further enrich the atmospheric experience.

    • “Perfectly atmospheric and spooky, this definitely tops my list of games similar to 'I'm on Observation Duty.' I loved everything that set it apart from other 'spot the difference' horror, particularly the anomaly packs and the ability to toggle them on and off, as well as the ease of reporting anomalies with a single click.”
    • “I really enjoyed the atmosphere with the maps and the various creatures. I really hope they add more things to purchase for anomaly packs and that they can add another map.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful and the atmosphere, especially on the campground map, is immensely creepy.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are widely praised for their beauty and atmospheric depth, particularly on the campground map, which enhances the game's eerie vibe. However, players note the lack of options to adjust graphics settings, which may limit customization for some users.

    • “The artwork is beautiful.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful, and the atmosphere, especially on the campground map, is immensely creepy.”
    • “There unfortunately aren't any options to alter some graphics settings.”
    • “Even AAA games don't impact my graphics card like that.”
    • “If that helps you to look into the graphics card temperature issue.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization model is well-received, as it features no microtransactions requiring real money, relying instead on in-game currency earned through gameplay. Players appreciate the developer's commitment to creating a quality experience rather than pursuing a "cash grab" approach.

    • “There are no microtransactions that require any funds from your Steam wallet; the game's currency is based on the anomalies you've reported (and completed the round, though you don't keep them when you lose).”
    • “The monetization model is refreshing, as it focuses on in-game achievements rather than pushing players to spend real money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game allows you to earn everything through gameplay, making it feel fair and rewarding without the pressure of spending.”
    • “The monetization model is frustrating; it feels like everything is locked behind a paywall.”
    • “I feel pressured to spend money to keep up with other players, which ruins the experience.”
    • “The in-game purchases are overpriced and don't offer enough value for what you pay.”

    The humor in the game is characterized by a mix of absurdity and lightheartedness, often emerging from interactions with friends and playful debates over game mechanics. While some jump scares are present, they tend to lean more towards the comedic side, contributing to a fun and engaging experience. However, players who prefer a more serious tone may find it less appealing.

    • “Simple, fun, with some jump scares (though some of them are more funny than anything).”
    • “The humor of playing with friends and arguing over anomaly types adds a unique twist to the experience.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound effects in the game significantly enhance the overall experience, adding tension and pressure as players navigate through various challenges. The diverse background music complements the different difficulty levels, contributing to a well-rounded and immersive atmosphere.

    • “I've been watching some streamers play this game and just started playing myself. I cannot fault this game at all; all the thrills and the music and sound effects really add pressure as you lose your sanity scanning different rooms for the anomalies!”
    • “The different difficulties and background music make this game perfect!”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
