The Anomaly Detective

The Anomaly Detective is a first-person psychological mystery set in a hotel where reality bends and objects shift. You investigate the hotel and try to determine which of its six residents is hiding the truth. The game includes nearly 30 anomalies to discover and several possible endings.

Find the anomalies

When something seems wrong, you can close your eyes and wait in the dark. Opening them makes the hallucinations vanish, while real anomalies remain. Photograph those anomalies to gather solid evidence. As the pressure builds, your mind begins to crack; lighting a cigarette steadies you while you continue searching.

Investigate the residents

At the start of each day, you read a briefing from your colleague Cole. You observe residents through half-open doors rather than speaking with them face to face. Pin your photographs and clues to a detective board, then decide what they mean: the game does not reveal the answer or tell you whom to accuse.

Reach your own conclusion

Your accusation depends on how you interpret what you have seen and photographed. The game is designed as a focused mystery for one session, with alternate endings that give you reasons to return and pursue different conclusions.
