CAUGHT ON
CAUGHT ON
DOORBELL CAM.
Thirty seconds of real gameplay: deathmatch across 14 arenas, 29 operatives to choose from, Infestation after dark and the Daily Supply Drop.
01 / THE BRIEFING
SMALL TOWN.
SMALL TOWN.
MAJOR ESCALATION.
A federal grant. A civilian defense program. A town full of unresolved issues. Welcome to Civic Watch: a fast, irreverent first-person shooter where the neighborhood meeting has officially gone too far.
29SELECTABLE LOCALS
14ARENAS. SOME HAUNTED.
14WEAPONS. MANY GRUDGES.
01VERY BAD IDEA
Bring the group chat.
Host a lobby or join with a party code: free-for-all, Infestation co-op, team battles, infection or a gun range meetup. Find nearby games on the same Wi-Fi. Settle it on the scoreboard.
Keep your thumbs ready.

FAIRVIEW MUNICIPAL RECORD / DECLASSIFIED
IT STARTED
IT STARTED
WITH A GRANT.
The mayor saw the money. The residents got the weapons. The HOA issued emergency architectural guidelines for defensive structures.
Officially, it’s a preparedness exercise.
Unofficially, the
mailman has fortified the post office.
02 / PERSONS OF INTEREST
MEET THE
MEET THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.
Farmers. Soccer moms. An HOA president with too much authority. Pick a personality. Every selectable operative shares the same combat stats and hitbox dimensions.
No locals found. Try a different name or clear your search.
Dossier jokes describe personalities, not special abilities. Sentry and Wraith appear as bot opponents.
03 / KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS
TAKE IT
TAKE IT
OUTSIDE. OR INSIDE.
Fourteen original arenas, from Fairview’s backyards and cemetery to a hospital morgue, a gas station at the end of the road and a yacht in Miami. Every one of them can go dark for Infestation. Learn the routes. Watch the windows.
MAPLE COURT
A golden-hour suburb: two streets, back-to-back backyards, ten enterable homes and windows that shatter.
WARM UP AT THE GUN RANGE.
Indoor lanes with moving target carriers, every weapon racked on the armory wall, outdoor steel knockdowns and a clay field with scored skeet rounds. Host it online as a range event. All the practice. None of the neighbors.
04 / AFTER DARK
THE HOA
THE HOA
SAID NO BUGS.
The street goes dark and the insects move in. Five classes bring claws, acid and explosive attacks. An orange Skitter strain is smaller, faster, and dies in one shot. Bring the axe when the magazine runs dry.
EIGHT LEGS · LUNGE
Lurker
Hops the yard, then lunges in close.
SIX LEGS · ACID
Skitter
Fast bites, then a spray of acid up close.
FUSE · BLAST
Spitter
Rushes in on a fuse and detonates.
MANY LEGS · BITE
Crawler
A long armored body that closes in and bites.
HEAVY · CHARGE
Hive Tick
The heavy one. It plants, then charges.
Infestation
Survive escalating waves of organic insect creatures. Call in supplies when it gets ugly.
Infestation Co-op
Fight the waves together. No friendly fire. Fallen teammates return when a wave clears; a squad wipe ends the run.
Infestation Team Battle
Two balanced teams fight each other and the waves. Enemy player: 5 points. Creature: 1 point. No friendly fire.
Infection
One in four starts infected. Defeated humans join the creature side. Infected use melee and respawn. Humans win by surviving the timer.
05 / GOVERNMENT-ISSUED OVERREACTION
WELL EQUIPPED.
WELL EQUIPPED.
POORLY SUPERVISED.
Fourteen firearms with distinct recoil, handling and reloads. Red dot, holo and rifle scopes, a combat knife or a two-handed axe, and frag, smoke and flash grenades. The budget was apparently unlimited.

CLARIFICATIONS.
Where can I play Civic Watch?
Civic Watch is out now on iPhone and iPad on the App Store and on Android on Google Play.
Can I play without an internet connection?
Yes. Bot deathmatch, solo Infestation and the gun range work offline. Online matches, store installs, purchases and Apple or Google services require an internet connection.
Do characters have different abilities?
No. All selectable operatives share the same combat stats and living hitbox dimensions. The different silhouettes and biographies are cosmetic. Some operatives are optional purchases.
What about controls and progression?
Play with landscape touch and optional gyro on iPhone, iPad, and Android, keyboard and mouse on Mac or PC, or an Xbox controller on mobile, Mac, and PC. See the labeled controller layout. Fine-tune sensitivity and aim assist in Settings. Earn career XP, climb ranks 1–100 and review accuracy, headshots and K/D after a match.
Is this a story campaign?
Fairview’s backstory sets the stage for arena deathmatch. The game offers offline bot matches, endless Infestation waves, online free-for-all, Infestation co-op, team battle and infection, and a practice range; this site is not announcing a story campaign.
How do I get help or restore purchases?
Open Settings → Profile → Restore Purchases in the game. For help, visit player support or email support@valuxgames.com.
