Our take on City Eye
The operator role concentrates play on watching, identifying, and reporting events rather than directly resolving them. That focus limits the experience to surveillance and coordination, leaving police pursuit and intervention to the services receiving the information.
What is City Eye?
Operate a central monitoring system across city districts.
Use maps to locate areas of concern, switch between surveillance cameras, and follow identified individuals. Gather information by photographing suspects and reporting relevant details to security services. The game presents several incidents at once, requiring observation, quick decisions, and predictions about unfolding events. Monitoring duties include spotting potential violations, tracking criminals, notifying the appropriate services, and helping police intercept suspects before they escape. Camera control and district coverage form the main workflow, with the operator moving attention between locations as new dangers appear.
