Quite basic but honestly not bad. The Watchers is about 2 siblings who need to bring 10 cursed items to a central altar in order to solve the mystery of their mother's disappearance. Each cursed item has its own unique area and stealth puzzle, where you have to avoid cultists who are following predictive pathing (and sometimes just staring at a wall,) pick up the item, bring it back to the central room and hear a corny one-liner. Surprisingly tense and fun when you figure out the intended path. Though it has a few bugs, for such a measly price its certainly worth it.

A fun little coop game to play with your duo! I see a lot of reviews complaining about puzzles, but they're not really all that bad. It took us a little bit to figure out some of them but we eventually figured out strategies for them all. They definitely require you to think outside the box a bit sometimes.
