The camera is mounted at a fixed position and observes a room section – the agent can often switch between several cameras but cannot change a position. The surveillance aesthetic (noise, green tint, timestamp) is its own design element. Core gameplay from information fragmentation.

Design question – When is the value label “surveillance camera” the right choice – and what experience does it create?

Reference example – Game examples: Five Nights at Freddy’s · Papers, Please (surveillance aspect) · Orwell.
