Our take on Improbability Control Bureau
Instead of using a sequence of separate areas, the game centers on surveillance in one level with two slight variants. Its main tension comes from noticing environmental changes, recalling what was present, and reporting anomalies before normality is lost.
What is Improbability Control Bureau?
Improbability Control Bureau is a horror spot-the-difference game about monitoring live surveillance footage.
As an agent for a classified organization, players watch locations affected by high improbability, look for changes such as moved furniture or intrusions, and report anomalies with a spotlight to disable them. The goal is to restore each location to normality and survive the night before normality is lost. The game has one level with two slight variants, focusing on visual observation, memory, and growing paranoia. It was made by a two-person team, with one developer handling most level design and art direction and the other primarily developing the Improbability Engine.
