The Anomaly Detective

The Anomaly Detective

About the Game

The Anomaly Detective is a psychological thriller and puzzle game that challenges your perception of reality. You arrive at the scene as a detective, but this is no ordinary crime scene; stress, exhaustion, or perhaps the place itself is clouding your mind.

HALLUCINATION OR EVIDENCE? As you walk through the corridors, you will encounter strange anomalies, shapeshifting objects, and disturbing visions. Do not panic.

  • Close Your Eyes: When you sense something is wrong, close your eyes (Press 'B'). Wait a few seconds in the darkness and let your mind rest.

  • See the Truth: When you open your eyes, anything that vanishes was just a delusion. But if something remains changed or distorted... That is your real evidence.

FILL YOUR INVESTIGATION BOARD There are no face-to-face conversations in this hotel. Only observation.

  • Peek through door cracks to inspect rooms.

  • Witness the lives of suspects from a distance.

  • Photograph the real (persistent) anomalies in the hallway.

SOLVE THE CASE Every photo you take and every clue you find is pinned to your Detective Board. In this atmospheric experience created by a solo developer, you must connect the dots to reach a conclusion. Which door do the clues lead to? Finding the real culprit depends on your observation skills—and your sanity.
