Under Review

Under Review is a horror game about inspecting rooms in a hotel lobby suspended outside time and space. You wake in an elevator and meet the Manager, who oversees you from behind frosted glass. To earn your way out, you must memorize Room 1 and review the six remaining rooms, looking for discrepancies and recording them on inspection forms.

Inspect the rooms

The Manager gives you a different clipboard for each room. Compare each space with its baseline and classify anything that has changed. Rooms can contain several anomalies or none, and every checkbox must be correct for your review to pass.

• Displacement: furniture or props have shifted or disappeared from their baseline positions.
• Surplus: an unregistered or duplicate item has appeared.
• Condition Variance: an object is present but has changed in shape, texture, color or function.
• Presence: someone else is in the room.

The rules

You can make only two mistakes across the entire floor. A third error, or one misfiled check on the final door, costs you your life. The trial tests your working memory as well as your ability to spot anomalies; the Manager has run it countless times and will not make escape easy. The game includes an evolving environment, mysteries and clues, and talking to yourself.

Endings

Under Review has three endings and is designed for a 50–80-minute playthrough to reach one of them.
