Unique and clever anomaly spotting gameplay that engages observation skills.
Good atmosphere with spooky and unsettling elements without relying heavily on jump scares.
Impressively large number of floors and anomalies providing a substantial challenge and length for a free game.

No save or checkpoint system causing frustration when failing and forced to restart from the beginning.
The difficulty can be extremely punishing and unbalanced, leading to repeated failures that feel unfair or luck-based.
Technical issues such as bugs, occasional soft locks, janky controls, and motion sickness caused by visual effects detract from the experience.

The gameplay centers around spotting unique anomalies within intricately designed maps, delivering a satisfying, engaging, and non-repetitive experience. While the core mechanics and platforming are praised for fun and clever puzzles, some players find the gameplay confusing or lacking accessibility, which can hinder full engagement. Overall, the game offers a solid and immersive horror gameplay loop despite occasional execution issues.
- “The core mechanic of spotting anomalies is genuinely fun and not boring at all.”
- “The gameplay loop is both satisfying and fun, keeping you engaged as you navigate through the intricately designed maps.”
- “This is a fully fleshed out anomaly spotting horror game with some really unique and clever anomalies, a satisfying and fun gameplay loop, and great map design.”
- “This lack of accessibility could make it difficult for some players to fully engage with key gameplay elements.”
- “2nd is the gameplay - or what it should have been - you get a number of hearts aka lives which consume while you explore every floor you need to visit to the bottom of the building. If you don't notice something 'unusual'... well those unusual things are not obvious at all. There are people working in the building, talking on the phone, etc., on different floors which I took as normal since it's a corporation office building, but it seems that is not the case at all, so yeah... waste of time. Like I said, a good idea, concept but very poor execution.”
- “The graphics are fine though, big plus for that but the game's mechanics are too confusing.”

stability
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game's stability is marred by small but noticeable glitches, including graphical bugs and occasional game crashes, which affect the overall experience. Performance issues and inconsistent object interactions further contribute to instability concerns.
- “This game has bugs that make you question if they are anomalies. I once went to the top of the map and had to restart the game because I dropped into the void and nothing happened; the reflections and lighting are buggy. It runs fairly poorly and has horrible interactions with objects: there is no crosshair, and sometimes objects appear to be in the center of the screen but can't be interacted with, while other objects not centered can still be interacted with.”
- “Perfect game... if it wasn't for small glitches.”
