Alternate Watch
A downloadable game for Windows
This game was released May of 2022 in a semi-unfinished state but due to sudden interest the game has since been updated (April 2023) to add certain content and polish missing from the original release.
A Mandela Catalogue (pre Vol.4) themed I'm on Observation Duty type game.
Report Anomalies until 6 am to beat the game.
Development for this project began in February of 2022 and ended in May of 2022 with a small update in June of 2022 and 2nd update in April of 2023.
This game was developed in Unreal Engine 5 and supports Lumen Global Illumination which can be expensive to run so disable it in the settings menu if you have performance issues.
Anomaly Types (also listed in game Pause Menu):
Imagery - Paintings/Artwork/Pictures Changing
Displacement - Object Changing Location
Mimic - Duplicate Object or Object Attempting to Blend In
Flawed - Flawed Impersonator (Distorted Human)
Pure Form - Shadow Figure with White Eyes
Preacher - Cloaked Figure Obscured and Constant Whispering
Electrical - Electronics (Lights, TVs, Radio, PCs, Camera Error)
Tulpa - Seen only in Mirrors
Corpse - This is now in the game
Unknown - Cannot be classified
Open Doors are not Displacements
It means someone has entered the home.
This game does NOT have a MAC/iOS/Android/Linux port.
I have provided a RAR version for those unable to download the ZIP version.

The smallest details can change and you wont notice. Nice game design!

Excellent observation game, lovely anomalies subtle and terrifying. No issues great performance and thank you for making this.
Loved this game to bits, but stopped working on windows 11. If anyone knows how to get it to work again, i'd be grateful as there hadn't been any updates :')
can someone tell me the original audio of when the laptop turns on in the master bedroom? yes, the "my interactive bible" thing. really cool audio, i wanted to use it for my game.
Really cool game, genuinely enjoyed the hell out of it.
The only recommendation I can give is, there should probably be a minor punishment for reporting nothing, because right now, it seems optimal to just spam report displacement and mimic on every cam.
I do see this is unupdated, but if you ever return, just a thought.
fun! did a great job!
hey, can u put it on linux too?
Sadly this game aint on mac so i gotta use a vm
Another brand new gameplay of this awesome game! Searching for the most disturbing anomalies.Excellent game!Gameplay HERE!
I felt like i was going crazy
I just finished playing it recently, and for me it’s simply THE BEST ANOMALY GAME I’ve played so far. Excellent work. Gameplay HERE!
One of the hardest anomaly games I ever played!!! Great game, good job!
Gave the game a try! I cannot make it to 6am No matter how hard I try. I know the longer you play the more it gets creepy
my highest was 14 anomalies'
The game overall good from my experience with it!
Here's my experience on it
Why is my webcam so yellow, but anyway! Fantastic game really enjoyed it and will play it for another youtube video.
will there be more updates? its been 3 years
i heard it was inspired by mandela catalogue so i wanted to play it
this was super cool played it at least 20 times before we finished the night :) five stars
Can we get an "Animatronic" anomaly in this game?
FUCK no.
no. just no
I wish it was on Steam, would have bought it there!
Itch > Steam
É muito difícil em achar as anomalias, deveria ter uma hora de sabermos como são os comôdos, queria era ter tido oportunidade de ver mais anomalias mas não deu.
I can't launch the game!!! :(
I've downloaded, redownloaded, fucked up that redownload and fixed it to redownload again but no matter what i do these couple textures in the living room are completely absent. aside from it looking weird as hell it hasn't affected my gameplay but i figure it should be known.the affected textures appear to only be the left speaker and that underside part of the TV, i have had no other texture issues but also don't wish to mess around in the actual code of the game to figure out what's wrong.
It’s a really good short game.
I wish there is some period with no anomalies. It is quite difficult to spot displacement when you don’t know how the room originally looks like. At least, the game is quite short and I can just re-play it.
how do you play it i ddont knoww how
you have to extract the ZIP and run the .exe called Alternate Watch
AAAAA I SAW MIMIC
dawg how do I download ts, i cant. Like, I press the download button (tried all three) and nothing. I tried unisntalling my adblockers and popupblockers, tried with mutliple browsers, and even tried to download it from a virtualbox, but nothing. Can anyone help me rq?
l found lt found it!!!!!!
Just want to say that I absolutely love this game. The feeling and vibe is amazing.
Does anyone know what the AES key is for this game?
I've heard about this game a lot, and it seems that this gme is going to be really fun to play as it is inspired by Mandela Catelogue!
my mother scared me at the worst time before I even downloaded lo
that's real, I was mid-game playing with a friend and my very vocal cat decided it was a great time to meow pitifully at the top of the stairs.
