Anomaly Fighting Foundation® (AFF) greets you.
Forget your origin. Forget everything you knew before this day. You have a job. You have a task. A duty to humanity that must be fulfilled.5 Tapes.
- Office - What a truly delightful dream - to wander around a giant, seemingly infinite work spaces. It's like the work never ends!
- Hotel - These identical halls last for miles and miles... Good luck finding your room.
- Warehouse - A true worker's nightmare. Rows and rows of boxes, shelves and boxes again. Who only knows where your package is...
- Stairway - Floor, one more floor, yet another floor. How many is left? You should've just wait for an elevator!
- Firewatch - Seems peaceful. At first. Sit down, relax, make yourself a cup of tea, but don't forget to watch out for those fires!
Get In. Find It. Fix It. Get Out.
Go through each tape and do your best to spot something out of the ordinary. And if you do, don't be so quick to run away – you yet have to neutralize it. But be careful - some anomalies might be not so easy to find. Remember - Anomaly Fighting Foundation® has no responsibility for any possible injuries that may occur as a result of Anomaly Research.Explore. Look Around. Come Closer.
Every second spent inside gives researchers a little more information about what these old, mysterious videotapes actually are. Who knows, maybe your sacrifice will be the last missing piece in the puzzle that others started long before you.Try to keep yourself alive,
