I like this game a lot :D It's perfect for practicing my visual attentiveness and visual memory (both of which are bad). I'm infamous for being that person who's asked "what do you think of my new hair/furniture/car?" and just going "looks great!", even though I don't see anything different about it, lol.
I have only one minor criticism.
If an anomaly goes undetected for a certain amount of time, you lose sanity, which is a good mechanic but you begin to lose sanity, even if you haven't yet seen the room in which the anomaly is happening. That makes no sense to me. The logic of that mechanic would be, that you/the character feels almost gaslit. "I could've sworn this part of the room didn't look so empty" or "something seems different, I just can't put my finger on it" but you wouldn't get that merely from it happening somewhere. I wouldn't feel like I was going crazy, if a book disappeared in my neighbours apartment, unbeknownst to me.
I just think it'd be more logical, if sanity-loss didn't happen, until you switch to the camera that the anomaly is on. Maybe the rate of sanity-loss could increase, if you flip away from said camera without having detected it to make up for the lowered difficulty but in a way that's more logical.
This next part isn't a criticism, I just think it's slightly sad that there doesn't seem to be any benefit to beating a level in lights out-mode vs. normal mode, despite lights out obviously being more difficult. It made me a little disappointed, that after beating an easy level on my 3rd attempt, I just got the same payout as before. I may be wrong on this one, maybe I got slightly less when I beat it in regular mode but I remember it as being about the same.
Also, it'd be a nice touch if your sanity by the end of the level affected your payout. Like, you would get more for finishing with 100% sanity than with 1% sanity? Just an idea, it's not important or anything.
Eitherway, it's a really enjoyable and satisfying game and much more replayable than I expected it to be. Apart from unlocking a harder difficulty in a location, whenever you beat it on the current difficulty (which adds an additional room for each difficulty and increased rate of anomaly-spawns), there's also a mode for each location called lights out (as I mentioned before), where you can play those same locations without the lights on and your cursor acts basically as a flashlight. Additionally, there are some location choices I haven't tried out yet but they sound like they'd switch things up a bit.
OH, almost forgot to mention that you can buy (unlock) themed anomalies with in-game currency that you get for completing levels :D Yet another + for replayability.

A fun and challenging game. With many tricks and surprises around every corner.

A very well composed game in the spot-the-difference genre al la I’m on Observation Duty, Para Eyes takes only 15 minutes per game and offers a sanity system where you are alerted to an excess of active anomalies via a ten-point bar rather than the singular warning offered in other titles. This makes the game more forgiving and therefor more accessible. Don’t let that put you off, though! If you’re looking for a challenge, each location has four difficulty settings, built in, plus there is a custom mode which can be set to trigger anomalies to spawn at the insane rate of one every five seconds! Or as slow as once every in-game hour, should you rather. A unique flashlight mode is also available, making spotting changes even more challenging. The locations are interesting and seem to tie together some deeper lore, as to yet be revealed as more levels are added. At this time, Para Eyes is an early access title and new updates have been improving the game, slowly but surely. If you are a fan of other titles in this genre, you won’t want to miss this!

I'm so glad the dev is back at this game b/c it's so much fun. If you love spot the anomaly games, you'll really enjoy this one.
10/10 game for me.

A very good spot-the-difference anomaly game that I got addicted to very quickly. Many difficulty levels for the speed-runners out there, and a lot of map/anomaly variety. Honestly, one of my favorites.
