12 itemsAbout the Game
You find yourself trapped in a dream. Capture anomalies, meaning locations or phenomena that deviate from reality, with a camera. By doing so, you might be able to return to reality.
In Normal Mode, an anomaly will always occur at each time.
However, in Nightmare Mode, there are instances where no anomaly occurs. Is it that there are no anomaly, or is it simply that you haven't been discovered yet?
I recommend starting with the normal mode.
Additionally, it may not work without a driver that supports DirectX12.
insufficient graphics card memory could also be considered as one of the causes. Please try reducing the graphics quality from the settings menu.
If it still does not work, please proceed with a refund.
- Set the "Head Bob" slider to 0.
- Set the "Motion Blur" slider to 0.
If your FPS (Frames per Second) is low, consider lowering the graphics settings. After starting the game, pause it to see the FPS displayed in the top left corner. The FPS is adjusted in-game to range from 22 to 62.
How do I play?
Please take a look at the image below. Can you spot any unusual elements? It's a game where you find them and capture a photo with a camera.Two Modes
There are two modes: Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode.In Normal Mode, an anomaly will always occur at each time.
However, in Nightmare Mode, there are instances where no anomaly occurs. Is it that there are no anomaly, or is it simply that you haven't been discovered yet?
I recommend starting with the normal mode.
Playtime and content size
The expected playtime to clear the normal mode once is approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour and a half. It would take more than three hours to capture all anomalies. There will be a total of 81 anomalies occurring.Save Data
Even if you stop the game midway, the anomalies you've captured are saved. However, please be aware that anomalies discovered using the radio (helping item) are not saved, so please be cautious.If the Game Crashes
There are reports that updating the graphics card driver to the latest version resolves crashes.Additionally, it may not work without a driver that supports DirectX12.
insufficient graphics card memory could also be considered as one of the causes. Please try reducing the graphics quality from the settings menu.
If it still does not work, please proceed with a refund.

Adjust the following settings in the configuration menu:- Set the "Head Bob" slider to 0.

Recommended Graphics Settings
Setting the Global Illumination to "High" or higher enhances the game's atmosphere thanks to UE5's Lumen feature. However, be aware that this can significantly strain your GPU, potentially resulting in slower performance.If your FPS (Frames per Second) is low, consider lowering the graphics settings. After starting the game, pause it to see the FPS displayed in the top left corner. The FPS is adjusted in-game to range from 22 to 62.
