Scrutinized

Scrutinized is a psychological horror game that merges investigative deduction with relentless survival mechanics. You step into the shoes of Luna Youngman, a criminal analyst working from home. Every night, she sifts through real-world data to help the police identify and stop dangerous suspects—but her home becomes anything but a safe haven. As you dig into personal files, you’re not just hunting criminals. Something—or someone—is hunting you.

Investigate with Precision

Use Luna’s tools to navigate multiple databases, search suspect information, and compare digital evidence. Emails, social media accounts, photos, and public records all offer clues. But no case is easy. Each profile hides layers of context, and you’ll need to judge who’s a threat and who’s just misunderstood. Mistakes have consequences, and filing someone innocent as guilty might put others at risk—or allow a real danger to remain unchecked.

• Use the D.A.D. (Database Access Device) to verify identities and cross-check aliases.
• Flag suspicious behavior from fragmented data across several documents.
• Balance urgency with logic—the clock is ticking on every profile.

A Constant State of Danger

While Luna focuses on catching criminals, she must also protect herself. Your house is vulnerable to multiple intruders with distinct behaviors. You’ll need to manage doors, lights, and surveillance cameras without neglecting your analysis. The more you succeed, the more aggressive your enemies become. Distractions are deadly. Even glancing at the wrong screen for too long could mean the end.

• Check windows for visual cues that someone is watching—or already inside.
• Control lights and cameras to deter different kinds of stalkers.
• Memorize sound patterns to react before it’s too late.

Immersive Realism Meets Tension

Scrutinized thrives on atmosphere, not cheap thrills. You won’t just jump—you’ll feel constantly unsettled. The game blends grounded visuals with creeping dread, forcing players to question every decision. The night progresses based on your performance. Do well, and the pressure increases. Make errors, and the threats grow bolder. The horror adapts, ensuring every session feels uniquely terrifying.

Think Fast. Stay Sharp. Don’t Look Away.

This isn’t a passive experience. Scrutinized tests your intellect, reflexes, and nerve. Each suspect profile is a puzzle, and every second spent analyzing could be a second too long. How many innocent people will you save? How many monsters will you let slip through? And can you survive long enough to see the sunrise?
