Observe. Patrol. Report.
Welcome to the Anomaly Department.
Work alone or with up to four players to patrol strange environments and detect anomalies. Each shift, your team must decide: Did something change?
Too many wrong votes and your run ends early.
Objects move. Items disappear. New things appear. Some changes are subtle. Others are obvious. Every decision matters.
As shifts progress, tension builds and wrong calls trigger chaotic consequences that make future decisions even harder.
With multiple environments, large anomaly pools, and short, high-pressure shifts, every run keeps your team guessing.
