Reviews
- Engaging anomaly spotting gameplay with a decent variety of anomalies that require careful observation and memory.
- Effective and atmospheric horror elements with jump scares that frequently spook players and create tension.
- Good technical performance including smooth running on low settings and Steam Deck compatibility, plus a solid foundational design for an indie early access release.
- Frustration caused by bugs and poor game design such as mandatory marking of all anomalies, frequent resets to the start, and small elevator button that’s hard to press during chases.
- Excessive and overly loud jump scares that many find cheap, repetitive, and damaging to the audio experience.
- Lack of clear feedback when anomalies are missed, poor user interface, lack of multiplayer despite being tagged, and limited content variety leading to repetitiveness and boredom.
gameplay
23 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay centers on methodical anomaly detection and exploration, creating a tense and engaging horror experience with a straightforward but effective core loop. While praised for its clever mechanics like the UV flashlight and balanced horror elements, many find it repetitive and somewhat limited, with occasional issues like overused sound effects and lack of innovation compared to similar titles. Overall, it offers a solid foundation for players who enjoy slow-paced, investigative gameplay but has room for improvement in variety and polish.
“The anomalies are actually good and various, gameplay process is challenging.”
“The UV flashlight mechanic adds real tension, especially when battery life runs low.”
“The core gameplay loop revolves around scanning environments for subtle or overt irregularities. This mechanic encourages methodical exploration and reinforces the idea that nothing in the environment should be taken for granted.”
“There is no gameplay reason for that; this is just a limitation that the developer didn't bother coding a solution for.”
“I get that it is a horror game, but for the love of God, re-using the same stock knocking sound effect every 10 seconds is getting on nerves. The jumpscares aren't half bad, and the overall gameplay loop doesn't make this game unique among hundreds of other anomaly hunting games.”
“Poorly optimized, boring gameplay, cheap loud jumpscares.”
