If you fancy your anomaly searching types of games, and are looking for a short-but-sweet affair, solo developer Mars looks to check those boxes for you with their recently-released title The Overseer: Field Trials. Clocking in at just over an hour, Field Trials follows the trope of tasking players to memorize the location and then find out whether there is something different on subsequent loops.
Given its brevity, there’s not much story to The Overseer: Field Trials. You play as a paranormal agent, and it’s time for field trials requiring you to identify anomalies firsthand. The trials are held in a partially controlled environment. Most anomalies are harmless reality distortions, but some entities aren’t so benign. If you do spot one of these particular anomalies, you’ll need to run. Just don’t forget to report in the chaos. Successfully report anomalies multiple times to earn your Field Agent badge. However, make a mistake and your progress resets.
Field Trials is actually the second game in The Overseer series. Mars previously released the first game, titled The Overseer, this past July. Currently in Early Access, The Overseer takes less of a walking sim approach to spotting anomalies, and more of a Five Nights at Freddy’s approach, where you monitor camera feeds.
