About the Game

Ivy Summers, a field researcher for the Eclipse Research Unit, a covert organization tasked with documenting and studying unexplained phenomena around the world. Your latest assignment sends you deep into the swamp: a remote monitoring shack left over from an old research team where reports of anomalies and hostile manifestations have escalated beyond containment. Your job is to report these anomalies & research any creatures lurking the swamp. Beware the fog as it contains dangers, use your equipment wisely & always be on high alert!

Use your laptop to access a camera network to track multiple locations, catch strange visual events, and determine whether something has changed, or something is wrong. An open door, a shadow that wasn’t there, an object that shifted when you blinked. Each anomaly must be reported before reality breaks. The swamp dweller also lurking in the fog to catch you off guard. You can get software's when upgrading to assist you with research.

Can you keep track of what’s real?

You’re not alone out there. When the fog rolls in, the swamp becomes a hunting ground. An unknown entity, described as a swamp dweller, disables power, attempts to unlock your shacks doors & only attacks when you're not watching out. The more anomalies active, the stronger the create becomes.

You’ll need to balance your research duties with survival:

• Restore power to the shack.

• Avoid detection while researching the swamp dweller.

• Submit your findings alongside the anomalies reported.

• Report anomalies found on cameras around the area.

Your shack isn't sturdy enough to withstand many attacks from the dwelling swamp creatures. For every correct anomaly reported grants you credit for upgrades. Improve your shack, researching tools, software's & cameras. Each night grows more unstable, and every report brings you closer to unraveling the truth behind the ERU and Ivy’s connection to it.

• Atmospheric blend of observation horror and survival gameplay

• Unique anomaly reporting system with escalating difficulty

• A haunting story told through logs, reports, and environmental clues

• Upgrade shack for expanding your tools and survival options

• Creeping dread, jump scares, and subtle psychological tension

• A grounded yet mysterious protagonist facing the collapse of reality
