About the Game
You’re Luna Youngman, a Criminal Analyst for the District Attorneys Office, set on weeding out the villains in your sleepy town while using various applications on your home computer. In this survivor horror you’ll search through a database full of reports to determine what kind of person lurks behind each one. Everything from cell phone images, decades-old police reports, recent purchases, text conversations, social media accounts, and search history is only a click away to help you assess these reports and either mark them as threats or not. You accomplish these tasks while using the simulated computer system in the game, the A.D.O.S system with tools dedicated to help you. One of these tools being the RootKit which is a virtual cell phone cracking tool. Crack into the suspicious person by sliding around a slider to get the right code! Easy to understand but challenging to accomplish.
Like most of the population, you work during the day, but at night, your time is your own. It’s not as simple as staying awake through the night to file each report properly. There are killers on the loose, and the work you do has repercussions. In addition to the reports you must submit each night, you’ll need to keep an eye on your surroundings. Staying hyper-vigilant will get you far against these two malicious threats, eager to infiltrate your home. The last thing you want is to run the risk of getting caught off guard. You will accomplish this by walking around the immersive environment of Luna's home and making sure that windows are closed and the lights are on.
Collect evidence, correctly file your reports, and survive this horror experience the next simulated 10 nights. If you can keep yourself from getting kidnapped, killed, or worse, you might finally be able to relax. You just need to not die before reaching those sandy beaches you’ve been dreaming about, confident in a job well done.
Not a fan of jump scares?
This game does have jump scares, BUT it is one of the only few games that allow you to turn them off! So if you would like to still experience the interesting story and game play but have a faint of heart, you can simple turn off the jump scares right inside the options menu!
Looking for a more casual experience?
Not to worry! In Scrutinized there is an easy mode for you to enjoy the mechanics of the game and read all the interesting reports inside the simulated computer system.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Hey All,
I know its been a very long time since I have updated this game, however with its recent second life it has gotten, I figured I would go back in and start working on a new patch to address some issues with the game.
The current issues I am addressing are rogue kidnapper bugs, which sometimes makes the game unbeatable. I believe I have corrected this bug, but need your help testing it out!
if you are interested in becoming a tester, simply right click on Scrutinized in your steam library and go to properties. Then click on the Betas tab - Under Private Betas it will ask you for a code, enter this code here
IReallyLoveTanner
Then click check code, that will give you access to the testing branch.
This update includes correcting the rogue kidnapper bugs, adding wasd key support for the arrow keys in the camera, and having the Skip on the intro always show.
This patch will now always show the Made in Unity splash, as I no longer have the professional version, since I do not use this engine anymore.
Please test - and leave a comment below. This is just the first wave of patches to come, I will address other stuff after this, and make some changes to the game as well.
- Added a safety net on checking the lights early in the night before going to bed early. Example: You check the lights, and they are all on, but the RNG gods punish you by randomly turning a light off as you file the last report.
- Kidnapper kills you on spawn bug: I added another safety net. Hopefully it will be fixed now.
- Fixed door glitch for breaker room knocking players out of map.
- Fixed a bug in Nightmare mode which prevented some players from going past night 10.
In 1.0.5 reports are now much more randomized, instead of pulling from a cretin pool each day, a random report is pulled from all 200 reports in the game each time.
- Fixed a bug where evidence would sometimes disappear.
- Smaller bugs fixed
Balance:
- Tanner has been nerf'd quite a bit.
- Normal mode now allows for 4 rejected reports rather then 3
- Casual mode now allows for 5 rejected reports rather then 4
- Nightmare Mode - Adjusted the rootkit crack timer.
- Fixed a bug with one of the reports not working correctly.
- Adjusted hit boxes on light switches to make them a bit easier to switch.
- Fixed Unlimited for target FPS overlapping.
- Added a little highlight arrow to better showcase the 'How To Play' tab.
- Fix a bug with international keyboards not bringing back results on searches.
- Might have fixed a bug where game settings would sometimes not save(need testing).
- Added a potato mode quality setting for those with lower end computers(need testing).
- Made some small balance adjustments.
- Fixed bug where some report dates were not showing correctly on police reports.
- Fixed a bug where the kidnapper would glitch out on end of night jump scare.
- Adjusted balance in the game to make it a bit less harsh on Normal mode.
Today took care of some quick hot-fixes, this will be the first hot-fix update. Still working on a few other smaller bugs as well, but wanted to get this out to you guys today!!
- Fixed a bug where players were able to bypass RootKit app by pressing crack.
- Fixed a bug where you would by pass the rejected report que with out getting a game over.
- Maybe fixed a bug where Tanner would pop infront of Camera and cause game to freeze.(Pending more testing)
- Made adjustments on the Sec Cams lighting system.
- You can now skip the intro with the ESC key.
- Adjusted database saving.
