For those curious, the anomalies that Mark missed are: 2:13 - in the study, the chair on the right has turned to the left (his brightness is low so it's hard to see) 5:52 - a cup has appeared on the table to the left of the bed 9:10 - his "noise anomaly" is a distortion; the room is slowly stretching (points for trying, Mark) 13:12 - in the living room, there were three boxes against the wall to the right of the window. The top box is now missing (also hard to see with his low brightness) 13:54 - the skull on the wall above the bed is missing 17:43 - in the library, there was a box to the right of the lion that is now missing 28:13 - the locker door on the right was not open before 30:39 - unfortunately, that was a *distortion* anomaly. Also unfortunately, that one will kill you if you don't report it fast 40:01 - the floor pattern in the office has changed 41:13 - for all of about three frames, you can see a picture anomaly in the office before it's game over For this extra curious, the anomalies that Mark caught without realizing: 22:21 - the chair in the back of the jail has moved from the left to the right. Mark gets this one by pure happenstance at 23:05 when he thinks a bottle has moved instead. 28:01 - the floor tiles in the bathroom have changed their pattern. Mark lucks into this at 28:44 when dealing with his rogue fire extinguisher. 32:50 - Mark's correct assumption of "object disappearance" was the office chair in the very back 33:24 - Mark has correctly guessed that the objects on the bench have disappeared 33:52 - the "object movement" that Mark lucked into was the brochures on the top shelf in the hallway (caught at 33:58) 34:08 - the "extra object" was an apple on the desk to the right 34:51 - the boxes on the right of the hallway have disappeared. Mark accidentally stumbles into it *two whole minutes later* at 36:56 39:09 - there is an extra bench in the back left of the locker room. Mark blindly guesses this one a minute later.
It's absolutely the worst when you confidently file a report for an anomaly, but another anomaly is fixed, that you didn't see nor can think what it was, and the first anomaly is still standing there, menacingly.
Doing some scrubbing through, the change in the toilets was actually the bathroom tiles. They were bigger or missing, hard to tell. But they changed after
When you say "standing there, menacingly" for some reason I imagined the anomaly, whatever type it is, t-posing to assert it's dominance over that location
@@newmeta2668 am i supposed to care? I only pointed it out on that one dude because he replied to multiple comments copy and pasting the same shiz. sleep well
They should add a thing where at the end you get to see the anomalies that you missed. Highlighting the anomaly type, and showing what the room should look like
i think the unknowingness makes it a lot more mysterious so when you try it again you slowly notice the things that changed now that it went back to normal
Some notes from a seasoned Observation Duty player: The gongs ascertain to the time (one gong is 1am, two gongs is 2am, etc) - the goal is to last until 6am FNAF style, so the gongs just remind you of how long you've got left and add some ambience. The alert warning you of your impending doom means that there are three anomalies that haven't been reported, and it's game over once there are four active. The alert only appears once, even if later in the game you reach the same critical point, so use that warning wisely and use that report button! You had the right idea banging out reports like missing/moving objects in rooms with lots of small items which could be easy to miss; there are no penalties for logging false reports. HOWEVER, the reports pend a lot faster in this version, but they take longer in the earlier games. If you play any of those, be careful not to spam the reports and to save them for when you're semi-certain you've spotted an anomaly, I can't tell you how many times I lost because there was already a report pending and I spotted something too late that wrecked me. Look out for the camera malfunctions, those are easy to miss. Sometimes entire rooms will disappear, so count the rooms every so often to make sure they're all still there. The "other" anomaly at 28:50 was the floor tiles, they changed from the usual small squares to larger squares. Very easy to miss, lucky report! The death at 30:57 was caused by distortion, that's a hard death to avoid since you'd assume it would be logged as a camera malfunction, but by the time you go to log another report it's too late - just one of those things you learn as you play. Abyss presences are essentially black holes that spread across a room, and if they aren't reported quickly it's an automatic game over like the distortion. They're pretty easy to spot, they grow quite fast. Getting all the way to 5am is actually pretty impressive on only your second run, so well done! Observation Duty is simple but surprisingly hard and tense. I hope you play more of it in the future, especially the first game, I have a soft spot for that one since I watched the Game Grumps play it which got me to buy the game myself. The third game is free roam, which would make for a good video I think, it looks way scarier since you're actually in the house!
I also got the first game after watching the grumps play it, now my friends and I play them together and it’s really fun. I hope he keeps playing these games, good tips !
I mean i streamed this a few times, i go for all 3 object anomalies in 1 room and just called it sniping. pays well when it works, and itll work twice a game minimum if youre not overly familiar with any given stage
Game's surprisingly effective in terms of atmosphere given it's essentially I Spy; The Horror Game. No real jumpscarea (at least not in the Fnaf sense anyway) and subtle imagery that makes you get the shivers from noticing it. Kudos to whoever the hell made this game.
@@foonnotspork I read your comment and was like "nOoo" but when I looked at your user to see if anyone replied- 😂 it took me to look at your PFP and it's just beautiful ✨
Imagine if you trained yourself with this game often and not only be able to spot ghosts around you but also whenever something has been moved in a room of your houses.
I feel like this game would be so funny in multiplayer, like imagine bob wade and mark arguing over whether there was originally 2 bottles of soap or 3
I'd imagine Wade asking if it actually was there or not most of the time making Bob and Mark actually doubt what they were seeing making it even harder XD
@@AKSU4TW in my opinion you die becouse of a heart attack or something similar since if I'm not wrong you're away from the anomaly location you're just tasked with signing them off. It might just be that you pass out though so it doesn't mean that you necessary *die*
@Pingu0 so? just because someone play it doesnt mean others cant enjoy it. by that logic, if someone ate an chocolate, nobody should eat it for like, forever
This game actually takes advantage of a perceptual phenomenon called "Change blindness", when even if there are huge changes or small changes, the observer does not notice a different due to not seeing the picture for a split second, for example if it were to turn to a black screen or another area for just a few moments, unless they're actively focusing something specific
I feel like there are so many horror games that could, and have been (but more could), be made exploiting our brains vulnerabilities. This is a great example of one.
@@kaileealtman9630 It's been confirmed that the more wrong reports filed, the faster anomalies appear. When you don't know about it, it becomes accidental hard mode.
Reminds me of when Arin and Dan from Game Grumps played this and when Arin turned up the brightness, Ally and Dan got mad at Arin and blamed him for why they lost due to the game being too dark, when there's no option to turn up the game's brightness from the main menu. So there's no way that Arin or anyone else who plays these games for the first time, would ever know that turning the *brightness* up is even an option at all, until they pause the game while playing lol 🤣
Out of all observation duty games, he probably started with the most difficult. Out of the ones I've seen other ytbers play, this is by far the most subtle. I think he'd enjoy 1 or 2 a lil more.
If he made several episodes of this game with all the different rooms i wouldn’t be mad cuz it’s so fun to try and figure out what’s wrong w the rooms along with mark
Right?? I mean I guess the earth revolving around the sun, thus making it bright outside is _technically_ movement of an object, but I just don't think that counts, Mark.
I love how immediately after mentioning that object disappearance was a thing, the deer skull on the wall was gone and he didn't notice. Edit: Just so everyone knows. I mean no disrespect to Mark. I just thought the timing was hilarious.
Real talk though, there should be an SCP version of this game based around SCP-895. 895 (AKA Camera Disruption) will fuck with any and all sensory equipment within proximity of it, creating hallucinations and other anomalous sights. However, viewing it without such equipment just shows it to be your average-looking coffin (Yes, it's that coffin found in SCP:Containment Breach). I think something could be done with that formula. Have one level be its containment chamber and/or the vicinity around it, and maybe another level be the location where it was first located.
This game is exactly like my old securty job: working overnight monitoring an entire building where the only occupant is myself. Only difference being I didn't have the luxury of monitoring cameras, no if heard a noise I had to physically go over there and investigate. I hated it. It was an old building that allegedly had a history.
Mark mistaking the sounds when the hour hits, for anomalies or other is so funny to me, he just freaks out while the game is trying to tell him the time lmao
It's comforting to see that, over the years of Mark's "Let's Play" videos, that very little has changed. A new game appears, peaks Mark's interest, and he gives it a shot. He then proceeds to somehow push through undaunted, even though he either plays the game WILDLY incorrectly, has very little understanding of how the game is intended to be played until a little before of after halfway through the video, or overlooks key elements that will make the game play so much easier on him. He always manages a victory through sheer willpower, amazing hair, random noises and ramblings, luck, and/or fearful confusion alone. We love you, Mark.
Oh my God I spent a long time looking for what changed. I cannot believe I didn't notice the entire floor changing. The moment you call it out though, you can't unsee it.
28:52 I have played this game SO many times and I have not noticed ONCE that the floor tiles of the bathroom change! This game has so much packed into it
@@icicletheweavile3056 Probably Distortion, or maybe just straight up Intruder? (Though no way to know that until you die to it lol-) Abyss refers to a different anomaly I think.
unless this is training or something and they just have a guy hidden somewhere in the house to undo the anomalies, they have to send an entire squad of ghost hunters just to move a water bottle 3 inches or close a door

The problem with finding anomalies is that each time you miss one, you reinforce the changed room as normal in your brain. Then if it gets caught when viewing another camera (like with the routine checks), the reset room will now not line up with the one you remember, and will appear anomalous, distracting you once again... from the man in your closet...

I think the scary part was how incredibly quiet the game was. In most common horror games there is always a very sleight low octave undertone to the soundtrack. For this one it makes you feel like you are on your own, or at least there are no humans with you. edit: holy snickerdoodle thats a lot of likes ty
This is not a criticism of this game in particular since it's a short experience but generally silence makes horror worse if used exclusively, silent moments build tension because other moments are not silent so something must inherently "be off" in a silent area or moment, but if nothing is off and it's just silent that throws the player through a loop of not knowing what to expect since the silence didn't build up to anything.
The amount of Marks thinking that you can physically observe is astounding. Like you can physically see the sanity leaving his body ever so slowly. His mind is literally making him see things.
Some of the little things that happen in this game that are hard to notice are the fan will switch directions, one of the cameras will disappear and then sometimes furniture will slightly move a different direction or an object like a lamp or a plant will switch places with another one. So when I play this, I really study every room and pay extra attention to the way that the objects are facing or the paintings because those switch a lot also. The camera disappearances the super subtle ones so if you're not really paying attention you can definitely miss that one and they usually do it once or twice a game . Just some little tips for anybody who might play. There's also mobile version
@@maxkensei yes that's correct. So it will still show the name of the room in the area where you can select the type of anomaly, but the actual camera will be missing. So if you don't pay attention you're just flipping through four of the five
@Instagram User i think you wanted to spell this: markiplier is the best! i am a disgusting piece if shit with trash content and my parents really hate me! im an useless vermin!!
As a person who plans to make a fnaf fangame some day, if that happened I would ascend from this mortal realm knowing that I have accomplished the highest achievement possible in life.
It's actually a fairly popular game in the horror community, I'm surprised Markiplier just discovered it. Excited though, I love this game series. It's so simple but so good!
I'm on Observation Duty in a nutshell: "Was that always like that?...." "Was that always there?...." "Did that move?...." "Did that always look like that?...."
This was making my anxiety go crazy. Like everytime Mark second questioned himself I was like “ wait what” and went back to make sure it was/wasn’t there
this game makes me so uneasy. every time i'll scan the room, panicking from the fear I'll see something that's not supposed to be there. this is the type of game the messes with your mind, throwing you into hysterics even when nothing's happening. well done to the devs
made worse by the face that there are very subtle sounds that are just randomly generated and mostly not related to the anomalies to make you question if things happened or not. I think some of the sounds are human whispers too. drove me insane during stream.
My boyfriend and I play this game together and while playing we also have the “Don’t you dare gaslight me that picture is weird oh wait no you were right” game 😂😂😂
in my experience, distortion: change of perspective/stretching/getting larger ghost: just some translucent dude chilling there abyss presence: black spots that grow and spread light anomaly: lights flashing/flickering other: just some random shit, the floor for me just turned into cracked stone instead of tiles hope this helps!
Mark managed to miss most of the really jarring jumpscares purely by luck. Hopefully he'll play this again sometime, along with the others in the series. They're very good at forcing you to concentrate, really close-up to the screen, with nothing happening 90% of the time...and then BAM. They're also good to stream if you need audience participation...assuming you can trust your viewers, of course...
@@SainaraYT Some of the ones he missed (and by missed I mean they didn't show up, sometimes with this game some anomolies just don't happen) were the huge man in the office in the country house and there's an intruder that will be outside in the top right hand corner between the rocks also in the country house. Other ones are intruders at the windows. Other times intruders in the house are just super creepy, or good ol' Timothy who is a running character in this game and is actually related to the plot.
@@mxmissy Timothy actively chasing the camera in Country House is both infuriating and scary. I can't pin him in a room to report him and at the same time you never know when he's gonna pop up.
11:28 Incredible how the Game Grumps have put hours into the Country House without the painting in the bedroom ever changing on them but Mark sees it on his first go round.
The most screwed up part that makes this game so spooky is when it detects an anomoly and you literally didn't see it and can't see it even when you go back to the previous frame. It's like gaslighting, the game edition in horror mode.
29:17 I took a screenshot to do a comparison here, and the thing that actually changed when he clicked "Other" was the texture and the reflection mapping on the floor tiles. The tile size changed and the grout was not bright white. I love the creativity of these anomalies. Changing textures and normal maps on us is probably the coolest kind of anomalies to notice.
God, I was looking for so long at that bit trying to figure out what changed and didn't notice it. I'm so glad you pointed out and it's so obvious now lmao
Same. Went back and forth a good 5 times and had to resort to a screenshot. Then immediately after I noticed the garish office floor and found out it was always like that
@@CodeRed0 Flip between 28:49 and 28:57 or take a picture of one and show them side by side. The individual tiles are way bigger on the former and it shouldn't be hard to spot if they are side by side or you can instantly switch between them

Abyss is just a giant hole that's growing When you got instakilled it was a distortion, not a camera malfunction. Camera malfunction is usually just a camera missing.
Yes! Those always throw me off! I'm always too busy keeping track of all the objects to notice an ENTIRE room is missing from the camera feed. Lol I usually catch on after a bit tho.
30:39 Anomaly: *_*unsubtly distorts Mark's POV onto the station hallway by practically DRAGGING the entire hallway's reality into Mark's own*_* Mark: "Ah yes. _C A M E R A D I S T O R T I O N"_
Mark missing the skull’s disappearance for like 10 minutes despite it being one of the most distinct and obvious items in the room really gets me in a certain kind of way
I was playing this game and streaming it on discord for my friends. Everything in this game didn’t bother me except when all the chairs in the conference room turned to face me. That, for some reason, was extremely unsettling.
This is actually a great concept. It increases your memory function, and gives satisfaction when you see the difference. I seriously love how challenging and scary it is, despite it just being a "hide-and-seek" game.
anybody else notice the fact that the third place he investigated ... had a toilet cam. Thats creepier that any anomalies he finds. And there is also a cam in the locker room. Privacy, whats Privacy?
I always assume these in game logic is that these were normal homes with no cameras but the security company the player works for installs cameras into every room to watch for anomalies
Considering that the bathrooms had pictures of naked women do you honestly blame them? It's a police station the fact that porn is basically placed on the walls is worrying enough as it is. Plus if the bathroom stall door gets closed they won't see anything until the door is opened again, so in short it's still allowing privacy but since it's a police station they're making sure no one does any fucking on the premises ig.
You could literally close the bathroom stall or not pull your pants down all the way, then you can get privacy, the camera is just placed there to watch for any odd activity like anomalies
Out of all of mark’s jumps scares I’ve seen in 4+ years they have never gotten me but the dump confetti cannon pop at 32:29 made me jump like a cat with a cucumber. Well played.
They should make another mode where instead of flagging anomalies, you get to play as the person fixing them and you get told what room and type they’re in but you have to figure out exactly what changed in a limited time and one mistake ends the game
Mark: just encountered a distortion of fire extinguisher minutes ago Also Mark when the whole room is distorting: hmm yes, this could mean others, camera malfunction, or abyss presence
that would be awesome honestly , like iv played the first one and it makes me think about how if anomalies keep going , then if theres multiple intruders in a room or they spawn at the same time they should interact it would be funny
I have been DYING to see Mark play any of the Observation Duty games, especially after seeing the Grumps and a few other favorites of mine go through the gauntlet of each game. The Observation Duty series is SUCH a treat, and I'm so hyped that its getting the recognition it deserves now.
I've been DYING to play 3, but I'm stuck on Station in 4- it is just beating me up 🤣 Everyone swears by 3 being amazing and it looks like a really fun shake up in gameplay from 1, 2 & 4! @@ChicagoRatHole
They should have it so that every time you lose, it shows what the anomaly’s were Edit- I would like to add that out of this whole video, what scared me and made me jump was the confetti at 32:28
Yeah. There's a roblox game I used to be big on in my childhood called Stop it Slender! and if the survivors lost, it showed the locations of the remaining pages as well as a small amount of what it was on. I feel like this game could do the same, maybe show the anomaly and describe the class type, like when Mark missed the Deer skull vanishing it would've showed an image of it being gone along with "Anomaly Type: Object Disappearance. Location: Bedroom"
This was really cool. Finally, an original camera monitoring indie game that ISN'T derivative of FNAF in almost any way. I would pay to see Mark work hard and complete each room. Also an amazing game, doesn't rely on jumpscares or drawn out drama to put the player in an unsettling and tense environment.
At least, none that are as in-your-face as FNAF. Played with a bunch of friends, and just the ghosts/burglars were enough to keep us thoroughly spooked throughout.
i'd love to see him play more of any of the Observation Duty games, ngl i feel like once he knew what to look for and what certain things would fall under, he'd do a lot better! something that could definitely help would be staying on each cam a bit longer, bc with this sort of game it's pretty unlikely to catch everything with just a brief glance but anyways, i'd love to see more! absolutely love this game.
Ikr? Creepy 7 foot tall naked dude? Almost funny at this point. That fire extinguisher? What in the noneuclidean uncanny valley scp mandella catolaugoe hell was that about

Some notes from a seasoned Observation Duty player:
The gongs ascertain to the time (one gong is 1am, two gongs is 2am, etc) - the goal is to last until 6am FNAF style, so the gongs just remind you of how long you've got left and add some ambience.
The alert warning you of your impending doom means that there are three anomalies that haven't been reported, and it's game over once there are four active. The alert only appears once, even if later in the game you reach the same critical point, so use that warning wisely and use that report button! You had the right idea banging out reports like missing/moving objects in rooms with lots of small items which could be easy to miss; there are no penalties for logging false reports.
HOWEVER, the reports pend a lot faster in this version, but they take longer in the earlier games. If you play any of those, be careful not to spam the reports and to save them for when you're semi-certain you've spotted an anomaly, I can't tell you how many times I lost because there was already a report pending and I spotted something too late that wrecked me.
Look out for the camera malfunctions, those are easy to miss. Sometimes entire rooms will disappear, so count the rooms every so often to make sure they're all still there.
The "other" anomaly at 28:50 was the floor tiles, they changed from the usual small squares to larger squares. Very easy to miss, lucky report!
The death at 30:57 was caused by distortion, that's a hard death to avoid since you'd assume it would be logged as a camera malfunction, but by the time you go to log another report it's too late - just one of those things you learn as you play. Abyss presences are essentially black holes that spread across a room, and if they aren't reported quickly it's an automatic game over like the distortion. They're pretty easy to spot, they grow quite fast.
Getting all the way to 5am is actually pretty impressive on only your second run, so well done! Observation Duty is simple but surprisingly hard and tense. I hope you play more of it in the future, especially the first game, I have a soft spot for that one since I watched the Game Grumps play it which got me to buy the game myself. The third game is free roam, which would make for a good video I think, it looks way scarier since you're actually in the house!
I also got the first game after watching the grumps play it, now my friends and I play them together and it’s really fun. I hope he keeps playing these games, good tips !
I watched John Wolfe play them all. I really do love the concept hopefully mark sees this if he decides to play again

Game's surprisingly effective in terms of atmosphere given it's essentially I Spy; The Horror Game. No real jumpscarea (at least not in the Fnaf sense anyway) and subtle imagery that makes you get the shivers from noticing it. Kudos to whoever the hell made this game.

This game actually takes advantage of a perceptual phenomenon called "Change blindness", when even if there are huge changes or small changes, the observer does not notice a different due to not seeing the picture for a split second, for example if it were to turn to a black screen or another area for just a few moments, unless they're actively focusing something specific
Damn, we all lack object permanence?
I feel like there are so many horror games that could, and have been (but more could), be made exploiting our brains vulnerabilities. This is a great example of one.

Real talk though, there should be an SCP version of this game based around SCP-895. 895 (AKA Camera Disruption) will fuck with any and all sensory equipment within proximity of it, creating hallucinations and other anomalous sights. However, viewing it without such equipment just shows it to be your average-looking coffin (Yes, it's that coffin found in SCP:Containment Breach). I think something could be done with that formula. Have one level be its containment chamber and/or the vicinity around it, and maybe another level be the location where it was first located.

It's comforting to see that, over the years of Mark's "Let's Play" videos, that very little has changed. A new game appears, peaks Mark's interest, and he gives it a shot. He then proceeds to somehow push through undaunted, even though he either plays the game WILDLY incorrectly, has very little understanding of how the game is intended to be played until a little before of after halfway through the video, or overlooks key elements that will make the game play so much easier on him. He always manages a victory through sheer willpower, amazing hair, random noises and ramblings, luck, and/or fearful confusion alone. We love you, Mark.

5:52 *|* Extra Object *|* _New cup on the left nightstand_

34:09 *|* Extra Object *|* _There is an apple on the frontmost desk_
34:51 *|* Object Disappearance *|* _The boxes on the right side of the hallway are missing_

40:22 *|* Door Opening/closing *|* _Locker on the right side is now open_
Let me know if you saw any I missed and I will add them!
The problem with finding anomalies is that each time you miss one, you reinforce the changed room as normal in your brain. Then if it gets caught when viewing another camera (like with the routine checks), the reset room will now not line up with the one you remember, and will appear anomalous, distracting you once again... from the man in your closet...

I think the scary part was how incredibly quiet the game was. In most common horror games there is always a very sleight low octave undertone to the soundtrack. For this one it makes you feel like you are on your own, or at least there are no humans with you.
edit: holy snickerdoodle thats a lot of likes ty
i think that’s what has me the most freaked out
This is not a criticism of this game in particular since it's a short experience but generally silence makes horror worse if used exclusively, silent moments build tension because other moments are not silent so something must inherently "be off" in a silent area or moment, but if nothing is off and it's just silent that throws the player through a loop of not knowing what to expect since the silence didn't build up to anything.
@@CloneLoli yeah thats pretty true.
The amount of Marks thinking that you can physically observe is astounding.
Like you can physically see the sanity leaving his body ever so slowly. His mind is literally making him see things.
Some of the little things that happen in this game that are hard to notice are the fan will switch directions, one of the cameras will disappear and then sometimes furniture will slightly move a different direction or an object like a lamp or a plant will switch places with another one. So when I play this, I really study every room and pay extra attention to the way that the objects are facing or the paintings because those switch a lot also. The camera disappearances the super subtle ones so if you're not really paying attention you can definitely miss that one and they usually do it once or twice a game . Just some little tips for anybody who might play. There's also mobile version
Wait like you’ll be flipping through the cameras and a room will be missing from the rotation? Because if so that’s COOL

They're also good to stream if you need audience participation...assuming you can trust your viewers, of course...

Mark missing the skull’s disappearance for like 10 minutes despite it being one of the most distinct and obvious items in the room really gets me in a certain kind of way
same, I was yelling in my head the whole time "Mark, the SKULL, the big GIANT SKULL disappeared!
I love how immediately after counting the books on the bed, they moved and he didn’t notice.
he even came back to the room, saw them on the floor, and said "yep 3 books on the bed"
what is the time stamp?
@@waverlithecatlady looking back at the beginning, the books are all in the same spot tho, one on the bed, and two on the floor
unrelated but nice pfp
I was playing this game and streaming it on discord for my friends. Everything in this game didn’t bother me except when all the chairs in the conference room turned to face me. That, for some reason, was extremely unsettling.
Amazing that Mark gets the bedroom baby face his first playthrough ever meanwhile the Grumps have been staring at it in agony waiting for it to change
I was convinced that it never changes, and watching it now it freaked me out lol
@@fvizzo I was walking on a treadmill when it happened in the video and I nearly fell off of it. Seriously creepy when you're not used to it
Bro the grumps played this?!?! I gotta go watch it
@@drop-cat.33 I think they've played all 4 games now. Definitely worth a watch
@@jordynozymandias374 bro why do you watch horror game gameplays on a treadmill
This is actually a great concept. It increases your memory function, and gives satisfaction when you see the difference. I seriously love how challenging and scary it is, despite it just being a "hide-and-seek" game.
Ikr? I miss "I spy" games like these, they're perfect time wasters too when you're waiting to get somewhere or do something.

Entire deer skull disappears
Mark: …
Game makes noise to tell him the time
Mark: IS THAT AN ANOMALY???
Please he’s so paranoid but doesn’t find the skull weird😭😭
40:42
Mark: anything else would be obvious.
Locker door: I'm the best ninja
worst part is that this was the second time he missed the locker door
anybody else notice the fact that the third place he investigated ... had a toilet cam. Thats creepier that any anomalies he finds. And there is also a cam in the locker room. Privacy, whats Privacy?
I always assume these in game logic is that these were normal homes with no cameras but the security company the player works for installs cameras into every room to watch for anomalies
Considering that the bathrooms had pictures of naked women do you honestly blame them? It's a police station the fact that porn is basically placed on the walls is worrying enough as it is. Plus if the bathroom stall door gets closed they won't see anything until the door is opened again, so in short it's still allowing privacy but since it's a police station they're making sure no one does any fucking on the premises ig.
You could literally close the bathroom stall or not pull your pants down all the way, then you can get privacy, the camera is just placed there to watch for any odd activity like anomalies
I mean, it’s like a jail or something, so im not surprised.
and in the locker room. i think bathroom is okay as long as there is a sign saying “camera in use” and not in the stalls
i really want more of this its fun to be like "WAS THAT THERE?!?!" with mark
Out of all of mark’s jumps scares I’ve seen in 4+ years they have never gotten me but the dump confetti cannon pop at 32:29 made me jump like a cat with a cucumber. Well played.
i willingly clicked on it and still got scared bruh
same
same. nothing else scared me as much as the confetti
SAMMEEEEEE
Don't feel bad, I flinched at that one too.
They should make another mode where instead of flagging anomalies, you get to play as the person fixing them and you get told what room and type they’re in but you have to figure out exactly what changed in a limited time and one mistake ends the game
Mark: just encountered a distortion of fire extinguisher minutes ago
Also Mark when the whole room is distorting: hmm yes, this could mean others, camera malfunction, or abyss presence
Right haha, I was thinking the same thing
Though, it ended up actually being one of the intruders that can kill you
@Instagram User so by that you mean you have no friends and you were an aborted child
@@Unfunnt Just report them. Attention seeking children who were abandoned
@@dr4x3k28 it's a bot as well
I wonder how this game would be with a "Can't lose" mode where you just go until the end of the night but it will never stop creating anomalies.
Hell literally
that would be awesome honestly , like iv played the first one and it makes me think about how if anomalies keep going , then if theres multiple intruders in a room or they spawn at the same time they should interact it would be funny
I was thinking the same thing
Imagine one room with every anomaly lol

Day 12 of asking markiplier to play riddle tranfer 2
Flamingo can relate to this
I love how this game doesn't have a tutorial or anything. It adds to the scary aspect of it
I have been DYING to see Mark play any of the Observation Duty games, especially after seeing the Grumps and a few other favorites of mine go through the gauntlet of each game. The Observation Duty series is SUCH a treat, and I'm so hyped that its getting the recognition it deserves now.
Idk how but I think this comment will blow up

3 is so underrated, i hope mark or the grumps decide to play it. my buddy and i spent ages in headquarters trying to beat it
I've been DYING to play 3, but I'm stuck on Station in 4- it is just beating me up 🤣 Everyone swears by 3 being amazing and it looks like a really fun shake up in gameplay from 1, 2 & 4! @@ChicagoRatHole
They should have it so that every time you lose, it shows what the anomaly’s were
Edit- I would like to add that out of this whole video, what scared me and made me jump was the confetti at 32:28
Yeah. There's a roblox game I used to be big on in my childhood called Stop it Slender! and if the survivors lost, it showed the locations of the remaining pages as well as a small amount of what it was on. I feel like this game could do the same, maybe show the anomaly and describe the class type, like when Mark missed the Deer skull vanishing it would've showed an image of it being gone along with "Anomaly Type: Object Disappearance. Location: Bedroom"
or at least how many like "22 out of 56 reported"
lmaoo i clicked on that and got scared by the confetti
But then it would spoil the game. If you know what exactly to look for, there isn’t a super ton that can change in each room.
The confetti scaring people seems to be a common thing since in 2 other videos someone ends up being spooked my the festivities
This was really cool. Finally, an original camera monitoring indie game that ISN'T derivative of FNAF in almost any way. I would pay to see Mark work hard and complete each room.
Also an amazing game, doesn't rely on jumpscares or drawn out drama to put the player in an unsettling and tense environment.
Mark: Object movement could also be a thing.
The deer skull on the wall: Why yes Mark, yes it could, excellent suggestion.🤣🤣
Wouldn’t that one count as a disappearance? Or was it just moved to another part of the room?
This is honestly one of the most interesting and effective horror games in a LONG time. It's got the tension of FNAF without jumpscares.
At least, none that are as in-your-face as FNAF. Played with a bunch of friends, and just the ghosts/burglars were enough to keep us thoroughly spooked throughout.
mark: im only seeing the obvious ones
also mark: *doesn't notice the missing deer head in the bedroom the whole time*
Yeah I noticed it was missing and was internally yelling at him lmao
Wait- it was missing….
RIGHT I WAS LIKE “the deer head…. wasnt there a dear head….”
where tf u got deers head gone i dont see it lmao
@@Limpo_2 the second location he did had a mounted deer head above the bed and then later it just disappeared lol
At 28:41 the “other” anomaly that was fixed was the floor tiles going from big back to smaller tiles.
Was looking for this comment thank you 😂 almost lost my ding dang mind
@@bmal7173 I know I had to screenshot before and after and even then it took me a little lol
OH, i went over that part and saw the floor changed, but what i thought was wrong was that it wasnt wet, which would be wrong according to the sign
@@bmal7173 Same
oh damn, such a simple obviously detail but so many missed it, 💀
i'd love to see him play more of any of the Observation Duty games, ngl
i feel like once he knew what to look for and what certain things would fall under, he'd do a lot better! something that could definitely help would be staying on each cam a bit longer, bc with this sort of game it's pretty unlikely to catch everything with just a brief glance
but anyways, i'd love to see more! absolutely love this game.
I’d like to see him play this again. Maybe some of the other maps or in a livestream with chat helping?

@@magnusskipton7067 same with the weird hallway stretch, that was creepy before it zoomed in on the guy
Honestly an underrated comment. Give this user more likes!
i love how he's not hesitant to just try to sent a bunch of reports cause there's no punishment for wrong guesses here and that's a nice strategy when you dont know what's going on and other people playing do not always do that
I never would’ve thought a distorting fire extinguisher would be so terrifying.
I find it amazing, you can just put that fire extinguisher on your back then suddenly you are a firefighter, also it is slightly hot

28:55 for those that are wondering, the random anomaly mark accidentally fixed was the floor tiles, they had changed in appearance
i didn't even notice, thank you!!
I noticed after a few watches
i love him saying "thank you" to the anomaly fixer every time
This game can be summed up in two sentences.
"Dammit, the abyss is here again. And the ghost knocked over my coffee cup."
This is hilariously accurate
