Our take on DEATHWATCH
The pressure point is the evidence-gathering loop: players must watch every camera, monitor their own surroundings, and log enough events before the entity eliminates them. Players expecting direct combat to be the main activity may bounce when observation and record-keeping take center stage.
What is DEATHWATCH?
DEATHWATCH is a horror game about observing haunted locations and recording supernatural events.
Players watch every camera and keep track of their current surroundings for events such as audio, victims, and paranormal sightings. Using computer systems, they log events to gather enough data to eliminate an entity. Players are vulnerable while doing this and must stay alert, since they may not be the only ones watching. Each location contains hundreds of events, so playthroughs can vary. Twitch integration displays live chat in-game, where viewers can potentially help or disrupt a playthrough. The game can also be played in VR.
