About the Game

About the Game

"Anomalous Objects" is a first-person horror mystery puzzle game set within a world of containment, secrecy, and unexplained anomalies.
You are a junior agent for a clandestine Foundation that contains and manages anomalous entities. What was supposed to be a routine rotation at a remote security post turns into a nightmare when a sudden breach triggers a containment protocol, sealing all exits.

The Control Room has no interest in your safety. They issue only cold, mechanical orders: search the confined post and locate the anomaly. The Foundation will not tell you what you are facing. Your eyes, your limited equipment, and the clues scattered on-site are your only keys to survival.

Key Features

  • A sealed outpost. An unidentified anomaly. Only your deductions can uncover its true nature.

  • Scan and Search

    Gather clues, uncover identification codes, and use the Foundation's database to determine which anomaly you are dealing with.

  • Psychological Pressure

    Trapped in a sealed outpost with an unidentified anomaly, you must remain calm as paranoia and fear begin to take hold.

  • Intensive Search

    Thoroughly investigate every corner of the cramped guard post locked down under containment protocol. Discover anomalous objects and uncover hidden clues.

  • Minimal Guidance

    The Foundation controls information. Finding clues is part of the experience. Observe your surroundings, review the information you gather, and piece together the answer on your own.

Choices & Endings

The Foundation keeps secrets from its own agents. Decide who to trust, what to report, and what to conceal.

  • Fate-Defying Decisions: Beyond simple searching, how you interpret clues and the choices you make will shift the story's flow in real-time.

  • Three Distinct Endings: Will you uncover the ultimate truth, or remain a disposable pawn of the Foundation?
