About the Game

Cycle through live camera feeds, watch for anything unusual, and report anomalies to deploy containment equipment. Objects may move, lights may shift, entities may appear - nothing is ever static for long. Each correct report restores stability. Each mistake brings the threat closer to breaching control.

Work across four distinct levels, each with its own atmosphere and anomaly patterns. Reports are made by selecting the affected room and anomaly type from the menu - accuracy is key to maintaining containment. Every shift is different. Anomalies are randomized, requiring constant attention and sharp memory. Too many active disturbances at once, and containment systems will fail. Stay calm, stay focused, and don’t let the unknown overwhelm you.

Are you ready to keep reality intact?

Key features:

  • Almost 400 anomalies!

  • 4 distinct levels

  • Several cameras per level

  • Short story mode

  • Modern graphics and lighting
