The Anomaly Project - Gameplay, Reviews & Similar Games

1

Coordinate with a team through proximity voice or text chat, and divide up which parts of a map each person watches.

2

Decide whether small details—such as a missing plug or an altered floor tile—are anomalies, while other changes may arrive with a jump scare.

3

Choose the red or green pipe after each inspection; a wrong call can wipe out your progress and send you back to the start.

Your goal is simple, spot anomalies to escape. Play alone or together with up to 8 players in online co-op. Make the right decisions to advance to the next level, or risk being reset to the beginning!
