Game Objective
In Storage Anomaly, you take on the role of a cashier tasked with identifying unusual anomalies in a store's storage room. This game blends observation, exploration, and simple puzzle-solving. You will need to navigate through a dark environment and overcome unexpected challenges to complete your mission. Keep your eyes open and get ready to search for anomalies!
Gameplay
The game starts with a normal version of the storage room, which you can explore to familiarize yourself with the area. This phase is crucial, as you must memorize the layout of objects, the lighting, the sounds of the environment, and the objects you can interact with.
After this observation phase, anomalies begin to appear. These can be:
Visual: Displaced, appeared, or disappeared objects, faulty lights, changes in the room's layout.
Auditory: Strange noises, unusual silence, sounds that shouldn’t be present.
Interactions: Objects that react unexpectedly when you interact with them.
When an anomaly is suspected, you must use your phone to take a photo of it and report it to your boss. For this, you will need Wi-Fi, which will force you to leave the storage room. As the game progresses, unexpected events will complicate your task. Each found anomaly earns you $10. You can choose to save this money to end the game when you reach $100 or spend it on upgrades that will help you search for anomalies.
End of the game
When you have $100, your boss lets you go home, and the game ends.
Information
