Scrutinized

Scrutinized is a tension-filled surveillance game where you investigate suspects, review digital evidence, and uncover threats—all from the eerie silence of your desktop setup. The gameplay revolves around focus, observation, and the constant fear of what’s lurking just outside your view.

Investigate or Eliminate

In Scrutinized, your role is to vet individuals flagged as potential threats. You must examine their digital lives—photos, emails, search histories—and decide whether they are guilty or innocent. Incorrect assessments have consequences, not only in-game but also for the unsettling night unfolding around you.

Every Click Could Cost You

The game doesn’t pause while you analyze files. Tension builds as lights flicker and unexplainable sounds creep closer. You’ll have to balance deep focus on your digital investigation with environmental awareness, especially as intruders may be sneaking into your home while you’re distracted.

Layered Gameplay Mechanics

Scrutinized combines multiple systems to build a complex routine:

• Use databases to cross-reference personal info
• Check social media clues to confirm identities
• Defend yourself by locking doors or checking cameras

Failing to manage one aspect can derail your entire session, adding to the overwhelming immersion.

How to Avoid Fatal Mistakes

The line between success and failure is razor thin. You must make the right calls under pressure while fending off unseen threats. Here are key tips to stay alive and accurate:

• Always double-check matches between images and IDs.
• Listen for footsteps and close pop-ups quickly.
• Don’t rush decisions—false approvals are punished harshly.

Scrutinized is a gripping experience that merges strategy and survival into one anxiety-inducing package. It’s not just about catching the bad guys—it’s about staying alive long enough to do it.
