Having played from all the four maps currently and also having gotten a perfect score on hard difficulty on each map at least twice there are some things I would like to talk about the maps and the anomalies that they have.

Starting with the first one, the first experience people get in the game although it's just a normal apartment it still gives off that slight uneasiness of things that might be lurking around or trying to invade with a really nice usage of the Human Shaped most notably on Cam 3 when it's peaking and Cam 2, every time I'm passing to the second cam I'm always tensing up to prepare myself against it and that Bastard somehow always decides to pop up the ONE time I'm not actually prepared for it! And then the screamy boxy shadow thingy, hate that thing! And I still don't even know if it is something I can report because I either freeze or immediately switch camera and then forget to try. Then for the ghosts/reflections the Cam 3 one is a decent one as well as that fish eye effect looking one while the long white dress and long hair covering face one is good too but a bit meh, mostly on later maps as a ghost and not a reflection as you barely can even see it. Also the reflections and Animal Shaped reports feel a tiny bit as wastes as at least to my experience they're only really used on the first map, there might perhaps be a mirror reflection on that one mirror on the third map as well but so far haven't encountered it.

Next would be the second Map, man the goosebumps that this one gives! By this point you would have done a bunch of runs on the first map depending on how quickly you get used to the game and would have gotten used to the rooms being pretty full and having to look at every little thing but then you arrive here, most rooms are either 100% or 90% empty and you're like:
"Oh, oh hell nah!" especially with how dark Cam 7 is, with that one I'm Even more tense every time I pass by it than previously with Cam 2! On the previous map you at least felt some faaaint sense of familiarity because at least it was a decent looking apartment but this one is so dark and empty that makes you wanna hit that Scooby Doo run! Once again nice usage of the Human Shaped and also the game "teaching" you at certain occasions you will see something moving and although afterwards it's gone or stops moving the anomaly actually still remains therefore you still have to report which is a neat addition, one that you have to keep in mind. Notable mentions: 1. The first case of a Shadow anomaly, really creepy! Yo see that it's moving yet you can't really distinguish the shape therefore it's quite frightening to the mind! 2. The chair that judges you on Cam 5. 3. The monster/alien rubber cockroach looking things of Cam 1, every time i see those things they give me a shiver on my spine, especially when it's on the handle of the door therefore it being closer to us! 4. The trolling anomaly, the object under the cloth on Cam 3 I believe is quite a troll towards us because from the previous map we've gotten used to that one human shaped that likes to chill on two different spot under a blanket and here your brain might make you rationally think that's the case again yet it's just an object!

Map 3. This one, I personally think it's a little anti climatic, other than a singular case of a human shaped peaking above the table and then going back down the other ones feel a bit meh, especially on Cam 1 when you only see just some fingers, I feel that the Human Shaped are a lot scarier when their either staring at you, peaking at you, slowly coming out to peak at you, straight up coming at you or quickly moving past your screen and not too much when they're just casually walking though that could just be a preference, in General this one map seems a bit too bright and too jam-packed with stuff to quite make you feel scared especially as there does not seem be too many "odd" anomalies, the weird sound anomalies would be quite more interesting if some where directional audio whispers to really mess with you, or gurgling sound or the high pitched ones of cam 1 from the fourth map, the rest are fairly normal for the most part at least. One more thing to add for this one map is that with my last run on it towards the end I got a bug where after switching to a camera the screen would completely remain with a blue screen even if I switched again to another one while if I tried to pause the game would completely freeze and I would have to close the app and reopen it but this one bug has only happened to my like twice, that second time that it happened though I was getting really close to the end so I instead decided to stick with it first until I finish, I couldn't see anything other than the blue screen, the reports, the camera switch buttons and the pause button but I could hear the ksssss of the cameras though for two back to back rooms there was no sound at all, that made me believe that there were anomalies on those rooms so as I was running out of time I decide to go for some blind shots just to see if I could guess them, I go to the first one, tap Displacement, it's Correct! Then I go to other one, Disappeared, and it was correct as well! Bam just like that! With that I ended up getting a 109% Score of 25/23 Anomalies and 0 false reports! XD

And now lastly we have the fourth map! At my first attempts it seemed that this would have been another not quite as scary one but then we started getting some reeeally neat Human shaped, especially the one that literally jumps at you, grabbing the camera and disconnecting it! That was another good one! As well as I mentioned earlier about the weird sounds of Cam 1 and with a decent  atmosphere of a rather old house! Decent experience! Though it was just the Shadow anomaly of Cam 4 that didn't feel quite as scary compared to that of the second map as it was completely still, we could easily tell what it looked like and it felt a bit more like a discount Maleficent XD.

All in all  1 2 and 4 map are pretty scary with their own different kind of things while the third one is a tad bit under performing,  also while I was typing I randomly found out that the one anomaly that kills you if you stay in one screen for too long or have too many active anomalies for some time was changed a bit and this time does actually make a sound while it's attacking, neat! Though there's just one thing that I'm wondering, does the "Other" anomaly report have even any use currently or will it probably be used on some future maps?

Wow! Very detaied and good review! Every map tries to have  it's own style. Some maps may lower the tense a bit. I hope you liked this way also. Thank you very much sharing your expriences with us. "Other" anomaly will be replaced with "Image/Photo Change" anomaly since "Other" will be no use as obvious.

Heh, appreciated! Honestly never expected seeing myself actually make a review and with such details as well but here we are, so far it has certainly been a nice experience and I'm quite looking forward to see what else might follow in the future! Ah so the Other report will be to get replaced, interesting, and certainly would be neat to see some more usage on some of the other kind of reports!
