About the game
Trapped in what appears to be an endless hallway in your home, rooms begin to feel unfamiliar. Capture anomalies on camera and stay away from any sinister entities.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5, 6 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
Across all 13 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 10 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Platform 8 ($3.99, scores 56) and IMSCARED ($3.99, scores 86), are both worse buys on this math.
The math says it holds its tier up to $10.43.

What players say
If you have a heart of steel, or hate yourself, this is just the game for you. 10/10 would not recommend :)

I have my reservations for the "Anomaly" genre of games because almost none of them get the right balance of making you feal uneasy about your choices and what you've missed. I always found titles like these frustrating... logic in what an Anomaly's identity actually is can be obtuse. That being said, Captured basically fixes all the problems I had, and actually manages to be both tense and unnerving. Riffing off...
The game isn't necessarily bad, but once I finish this game, I kind of feel as if there is no need to return to the loop. I get it, there's like 99 extra anomalies, but I don't want to be stuck in there, dude. I already won. Good short game, though.
