About This Game

You are not the hero. You don’t explore. You don’t fight. You watch.

Stationed on a remote surveillance outpost at the edge of deep space, your only task is to monitor security feeds. But something’s wrong. A chair shifts. A shadow lingers. A figure appears where no one should be.
Welcome to First Shift, the chilling debut of the Observer Protocol series — a minimalist surveillance horror game where quiet tension and creeping dread take center stage.

Flip between camera feeds, scanning for subtle, unsettling changes. Miss an anomaly, and it spreads. Doubt what you saw, and the truth slips further away.
Inspired by I'm on Observation Duty, First Shift trades jump scares for an oppressive, slow-burn psychological horror experience.

Can you trust your eyes? Or is something watching you back?

Key Features:

  • Immersive anomaly-spotting gameplay rooted in pattern recognition and subtle environmental changes
