Assessment Examinatio<\/em>n is an unsettling test to see if you\u2019re capable of gauging whether you can trust someone or not purely by looking at them.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re taking an application test to become a part of the Authenticity Assessment Department. Its duty seems to involve taking a look at people and determining if they\u2019re a threat. It\u2019s not a lot of information to go on, but then again, this test seems far from ordinary. It asks you questions about whether you fear god, or if you\u2019re afraid of losing family members. Already, it seems like we\u2019re being threatened by the test itself. Is the person who wrote it somewhere within the pictures to come? Because I don\u2019t feel like I can trust that person much.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At this point, you\u2019re shown pictures of people. Some of them look relatively normal, while others have something off about their images. While you might be looking for something about them to indicate a threat, many of these don\u2019t show any signs of anything. They all just look like people. So, you have nothing left to do but pore over each picture, attempting to find something of note. Some reason not to trust them. It leads you into this kind of fear of these folks, probing their every feature to see if something about them gives you the answers you need. Also, all kinds of weird images, emergency calls, and creepy ads for parks play as you do your work. As if it isn\u2019t weird enough on its own.<\/p>\n

Assessment Examination<\/em> swiftly creates an atmosphere of mistrust in you, making you feel like something is wrong with this test, and that\u2019s there\u2019s something far worse wrong with all of the people pictured in it. And I can\u2019t help but feel like something within the images might be staring right back at me, sometimes. Something about staring into a picture\u2019s eyes for too long has that effect on me, which made my time with this game even more uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
