About the Game

Something’s not right. Have you noticed?

Out of Place: Origin is a survival game built on your power of observation.

Use Your Camera and Discover the Anomalies

The night shift has begun.
Your old, worn-out camera is the only guide you have in this strange place.
It looks like an ordinary diner — but here, the walls breathe, objects move, and the shadows seem to watch you.
Your task is simple: detect the abnormalities — the anomalies — capture them, and collect evidence.

But with every photo you take, as you get closer to the truth, something else might start noticing you.

Report Anomalies from the Terminal

Report every anomaly you find through the terminal.
If your photo is correct, the system will display “Anomaly Detected.”
Make a mistake, and your entire shift could reset.
It may sound simple, but this job demands focus and patience.
And remember — time doesn’t stop while the upload continues.

Survive by Controlling the Doors

As darkness slowly surrounds you, your only defense is the doors.
Your energy is limited, your resources few.
Close them at the right moment, wait when you must…
because those behind the door will show you no mercy.
Every choice has a consequence, every second has a cost.
And sometimes, to survive… all you need to do is turn off the light.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Because sometimes,
the thing watching you…
might not be an error.
