Easy/self explanatory Achievements
The Witching Hour:



The witching hour is from 3 AM to 4 AM. All you need to do for this achievement is survive up to 4 AM on either house.

R.I.P.:



You can die by: intruders if left unreported or on their camera for too long, or having 4 anomalies active at once. You will receive a message when 3 anomalies are active.

Dust Off and That New House Smell:





The game isn't that difficult, but it can be overwhelming at first and difficult to understand exactly what you have to do. So, I'll briefly explain how the game works.

- You move through the rooms of a house using security cameras.

- For a short period of time (thought to be until 0:15 AM, there is nothing that indicates when this period ends), the house will stay as normal.

- After this, objects around the house will disappear, change shape, move, appear, "distort". Doors will open or close. Intruders, ghosts, and other strange happenings will occur throughout the house.

- At the bottom right of your screen you can file an "anomaly report". There is a list of each room and a list of anomalies. Select which ones fits what you see. For example, if you see a painting change saturation, image, or move in the living room you would select the "living room" area and the "painting anomaly" option and file the report.

- Reports take a bit of time to go through, but once they do and you chose the correct description then the anomaly will go back to normal. For example, the painting in the living room will go back to how it was and that anomaly will not occur a second time that game.

- If you choose the wrong description, it will tell you in the middle of your screen. This does not mean there is not an anomaly active. Some anomalies are not under the description you would think. For example, some human-like anomalies are actually mannequins, so they would fit the "extra object" anomaly type rather than "ghost" or "intruder".

- You cannot have 4 anomalies active at once. Once there are 3, you will receive a message telling you too many are active. If you do not find any of the 3 already active soon then you will die.

After a few tries you will get the hang of it. There are guides that specify each anomaly for each I'm On Observation Game if you would rather look and memorise them beforehand. There is no shame in using guides. Simply beat the game on both The Old House and The New House and the achievements are yours.
Timothy's Secret.
There are two achievements related to this secret you can activate in The Old House.

In The Old House, there is an intercom in the kitchen in the bottom right corner on the wall besides the door. It is a large square. At first, it may look like a motion detector or alarm or something similar. Here, I have pointed to it.



I have also circled the top right corner of this intercom. Once the clock hits 1 am, a small light will begin to blink where I have circled. It is quite small and easy to miss unless you're deliberately looking for it. Click it. Doing this will play a message of a deep distorted voice telling you to input the date of Nelson Mandela's death and will also grant you this achievement:



Once the intercom is blinking, you are able to click it so if you miss 1 am you should be fine. However, there is a point where it becomes too late and you will have to restart in order to hear the message.

After the message plays, you have to survive until 3:30 am. At this time, you will have a new anomaly type in your report list called "input". Move your camera to the "outside/balcony" option, and file a report as "input" on the "outside/balcony" option and wait for the report to go through. You will be told to put in a code. Put in "2013" (The year Nelson Mandela died) and you will complete the secret ending and you will achieve this achievement:



From there, you will receive multiple prompts. All of them besides the first one will take you to the menu regardless of the answer you choose. When you see the first prompt, clicking "no" will immediately take you to the menu and clicking "yes" will continue on with the ending.
A Certain Intruder.
On The Old House, there are multiple intruders. Intruders are humans and creatures that appear. This achievement is for reporting a specific one. He is found on the couch in the middle of the living room, can be seen from the kitchen and once you file a report on him he will fly up towards the camera and "haunt" you.

Here he is:



For me personally, he did not appear very often. I had to beat this level a few times to find him. I do not know if he is purposefully uncommon or if it was unlucky but it could possibly take a few attempts which can be annoying. But, after finally reporting him and getting rid of him you will get this achievement:

!!HUGE MAN!!
The !!HUGE MAN!! intruder-type anomaly can be found in The New House in the kitchen. You will know it is him because he is indeed... a huge man.

Here, I have a picture of the ravishing gentlemen himself:



I have heard he is rather rare, but in my experience it took me 2 games on The New House to find him. It took me longer to find the previous intruder on the couch in The Old House. I have also heard that he can sometimes end your game but I assume it's most likely due to taking too long to report them just like other intruders.

You have to report him twice. First, you need to report him in the "kitchen" option as an intruder. This report will fail.
After the intruder report goes through, at the very bottom of the anomaly list in the report menu there will be a new anomaly type that you can select called "!!HUGE MAN!!". Report him again using this anomaly type and he will leave, giving you this achievement:

And there you have it!
You have almost completed / successfully completed I'm On Observation Duty. Well done.

I did, but i put too much detail and it looked cluttered and unneccessary and deleted it. When i am home today i will add a less detailed easy section for both my observation duty 1 and 2 guide. Thank you so much, i appreciate it. :)

You deserve a cookie too :) I'd suggest adding a mini section for the rest of the "easy" achievements like RIP, witching hour etc. Also add "100%" to your title xd

Thank you man, I had never thought of that. I appreciate it. I will update that when I can soon. :) :spyro:
