About the Game

You find yourself forced to work as an Anomaly Observer in Unit 97.

Explore shelves and aisles, observing your surroundings carefully for "inconsistencies". Don't worry, each Anomaly Observer is assigned a guiding Tablet to help with the task.

Hold tight to your flashlight, and move silently. Recklessly making too much noise might attract prying...Ears. Or worse. Strive for survival, the Company relies on you.

Hard work deserves a rightful pay. You've been using it mostly to support your family, but maybe you should consider spending some of it on helpful tools, though.

Features

  • Observe 30+ Unique Anomalies: What's their source?

  • Survive in the dark: Plan your moves and use your equipment wisely to survive

  • Shop for upgrades: There's nothing wrong in re-investing some of the hard-earned credits to improve your chances...Right?

  • Discover new areas: Get to the bottom of this and reunite with your family
