What players say
A great use of the anomoly hunting concept with just the right amount of environmental story tells without it feeling forced or overstaying it's welcome. Not a particularly long game, but more than enough content for enjoying the game after the story's done.

One of the creepiest anomaly games on the market today. The graphics are exceptional, the atmosphere is spot on, and the anomalies range from very subtle to in-your-face scary. I wish they would build a pub modeled after this game. Rating: 9.5/10
Another great anomaly game. A fun story, and lots of QOL changes to the genre that makes finding them all and getting the full ending a treat rather than an RNG chore.
