Scrutinized is a game in which you play a desktop detective.
Imagine you're sitting at your desk late at night investigating reports of suspicious individuals in the hopes of ultimately tracking down murderers, kidnappers, and other violent criminals. Except for the crickets chirping outside, it's completely quiet as you tap keys, examine clues, and search through text messages, photographs, police reports, and other bits of evidence spread out over your desktop.
And it scared the absolute crap out of me. After a few nights of detective work, the creep lurking outside finally got in. Usually you can stop him if you investigate the noises quickly enough—catch him trying to unlock a window, or spy him on your security camera and turn a light on, and he'll flee. But I was too slow this time, or I simply missed hearing the noise he made during his most recent attempt.
The detective work begins with a suspicious person report, filed by someone in your neighborhood. You know how the Nextdoor app works, right? Where people are always freaking out because they saw someone acting"suspiciously" in your neighborhood? The reports in Scrutinized are a lot like that—sometimes you wonder what they're even worried about, but other times it does seem like something criminal might be going on.
Honestly, the most satisfying reports are the ones where you can find an innocent explanation for someone's behavior. A woman seen loading a bundle into her trunk, with a human hand sticking out, can be explained by finding texts where she talks about an art project and a photo of a model hand she purchased. A huge fight between a married couple, followed by the wife's disappearance, could be explained because they split up and she simply moved out.
