[About This Game]

Anomaly Control Division is a first-person surveillance horror game in which you take the night shift as a newly appointed containment supervisor and survive until dawn.

From 00:00 to 06:00, you must monitor three containment chambers through CCTV, identify anomalous events affecting each entity, and carry out the correct response.

The Tendril Cluster. The Mimic. The Bound Circuit.

Each entity has its own behavior and threat profile, and all of them grow increasingly unstable as the night wears on. A single wrong decision can trigger a facility-wide containment failure.

Consult the manual.
Watch the monitors.
Maintain stability.

Follow procedure, and you may live to see another day.

Fail to follow procedure and...

Good luck.

[Game Features]

  • Anomalous Entities

    The Anomaly Control Division is responsible for containing and managing supernatural beings captured around the world, collectively designated as anomalous entities.

    Each entity possesses unique behaviors, threat levels, and anomalous events. As a containment supervisor, you must study the information recorded in the manual and carry out the prescribed procedures.

  • CCTV Surveillance and Containment

    Each anomalous entity is sealed inside a shielded containment chamber.

    Use the CCTV network and containment control systems to prevent the entities from becoming unstable. Monitor each chamber carefully, assess the situation, and make the correct decision before it is too late.

  • Anomalous Events

    Anomalous entities periodically trigger anomalous events.

    Events occurring inside a containment chamber can be handled remotely through the control system. If an event manifests inside the control room, however, you must leave your station and neutralize it in person.

  • Stability Levels

    Each anomalous entity has a Stability Level, which can be monitored through the CCTV interface.

    Unresolved anomalous events will rapidly reduce an entity's Stability. If its Stability reaches zero, the entity will breach containment and may inflict severe bodily harm on the supervisor.

  • Emergency Protocol

    Do not give up, even if containment fails and an entity breaches.

    The facility is equipped with an emergency protocol designed to preserve the supervisor's life. Execute the correct procedure and enter the protocol code before time runs out to reverse a containment breach once.

    The protocol code is updated daily and can be found at the bottom of the Basic Containment Procedures section in the manual.
