About
A Soviet-Era Psychological Adventure Where the Route Never Ends...
The year is 1991. You board a rickety bus in a forgotten Soviet village, heading home after another bleak day. But something’s wrong. The same station keeps appearing—or does it? The signs are familiar, the streets look identical… yet something lurks in the gaps of your memory.
Will you escape the loop? Or become its next passenger?
Inspired by The Exit 8 and I’m On Observation Duty, Anomaly Bus blends memory-based adventure with paranormal fear. Observe. Remember. Survive.
RIDE THE BUS HOME… OR... BECOME FOREVER PASSENGER
Board only the normal buses—the ones matching your memory of Station 1.
If something feels off, skip it. Your life depends on attention, not speed.
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
Anomalies aren’t subtle… but they’re easy to miss if you’re careless.
A flickering light. A missing poster. A passenger who wasn’t there before. Scratching on the windows. Ghost driver and more...
NO CHEAP SCARES—JUST PURE DREAD
No cheap jumpscares… you have to spot the anomaly...
The tension builds as the loop tightens. What’s waiting at the final stop?
SMALL BUS, ENDLESS TERROR
The bus is cramped, but anomalies shift with every ride.
Randomization ensures no two playthroughs are the same.
Memory Over Reflexes – Patience is your greatest weapon.
Headphones Highly Recommended – The creaks, whispers, and distant Soviet radio static will haunt you.
Average Single Playtime: 1 – 3 Hours – A tight, chilling experience with high replayability.

This one is rough...
This game should be called "Bring Your Money, Alsebak"! Literally, you can't do anything in it except take the bus that's going to take you... and nowhere! It takes you to a stupid guy fishing in the ice. Why is there anyone fishing in a bus game?? My rating for this game: Fish/10
The game has LOTS of bugs......not playable!
As someone who’s been part of the Closed Beta Testing (CBT) for Anomaly Bus, I can confidently say this game already oozes spine-tingling potential. With ~3 hours clocked, I’ve experienced enough to know the devs are onto something special—a Soviet-era where every creak of the bus and flicker of a light feels intentional. The core loop—spotting anomalies to escape an endless, dread-soaked commute—is brutally simple yet fiendishly addictive. Is that passenger’s face always that warped? Did that poster say that yesterday? The randomization keeps you paranoid, and even small environmental details (like garbled Soviet radio static) layer on the immersion. No cheap jumpscares here—just a slow, gnawing curiosity that you’ve missed something... and the loop knows. What excites me most is how the devs are weaving the community into the game’s DNA. From Discord polls for new anomalies to letting top contributors design a "creepy passenger," they’re not just listening—they’re letting us build the horror. The Early Access roadmap (3–6 months) promises more anomalies, secrets, and polish, but even now, the 1–3 hour runs feel meaty and replayable. Yes, there’s room to grow (UI tweaks, more anomaly variety), but that’s the beauty of Early Access: you’re not just playing a game, you’re shaping a living, breathing experiment in tension. If you loved The Exit 8 or thrive on atmospheric loop, hop on this bus now—before the price climbs and the anomalies get even sneakier. Pro tip: Wear headphones. The devs weaponize sound like nobody’s business. Verdict: A must-buy for anomalies fans. Early Access has never felt this unnervingly collaborative.
Well, I guess it has a certain "charm" about it, with it's glitchy, weirdness. I like oddball games and this is one, as you can see in my gamplay vid here: https://youtu.be/RAF9KOpiMCs It's like the developer stopped at about 60%, then thought... (in Russian), "bah, that'll do, I'll just release it as it is and hope for some cash". It's not a quality anomaly game, but it is a game... it starts and ends... that's about all the good I can say about it really! I'll give it a thumbs up for effort.... just.
Ai slop
1.99 paid 4 game.. Im sorry to say this is broken game Anomalys are the same thing repeated alot. Not worth the full price at all . Game feels very rushed at broken
Absolutely terrible. Awful song playing in the background. No optimization settings for streamers, so good luck trying to stream this game without your streaming software locking up tighter than a crab's a$$hole. Got this on sale and still going to get a refund. Rating: 0/10
1/10 This game feels like a cash grab. There is not enough to look at inside the bus for this to feel like a anomaly game. I'm not even sure there is more than six anomalies total. The end occurs when you get twelve correct, which is indicated by the clock on the bus stop wall. The ending was disappointing as the screen just fades to black. Nothing surprising, nothing special. With so few anomalies I had the same ones repeat three to five times in a row. Very unimaginative for this type of game and I'm not sure why this game is even up for sale. I would only recommend it if it was free and the dev was looking for feedback, but other than that don't buy. I purchased it on sale for a little over a dollar and you do not get your moneys worth. This game feels unfinished. There are a few graphical bugs, like the bus glitching at the end of the road then duplicating itself. I did glitched through the bus when I got an anomaly wrong and it spawned me to the end of the road instead of at the starting point. In the background there is a custom soft rock song playing, which I assume is the player listening to music during his commute. The song is about anomalies and the bus that you are riding in this game. It's something I've never seen in a game before, it wasn't distracting, but I did turn my volume up to try and hear it because it is so soft. There are no other ambient noises during game play. The people look disproportionate to their surroundings, the steering wheel is huge compared to the driver who is wearing street clothes and a summer t-shirt. In Russia? The passenger laying in the back is squished and also wearing the same t-shirt and jeans. The controls work fine, I walked and ran without any difficulty. Interacting with the buttons worked well. The small pointer circle works fine and isn't hard to see or in the way. The background was will put together it was just missing any filters to hide all the sharp outlines of the trees and buildings, so they look like cut outs. There is not movement in the background, no wind. The final achievement I missed. I thought you had to enter some of the buildings to trigger it, but I'm still unsure how it's achieved. I will not be exploring more into this half finished game. I don't know why the devs describe it as a horror game because it is far from it. I was reading through the description again and I can't believe the way this game is portrayed. This game is the bare bones of what they advertise.
This game feels unfinished and unimaginative, more like a cash grab than a real attempt at an anomaly-spotting experience. There’s barely anything to look at inside the bus, and I’m not even sure there are more than six anomalies total. Many of them repeat several times in a row, and after getting twelve correct (as shown by the clock on the bus stop wall), the game just fades to black—no payoff, no surprise, nothing special. There are also graphical bugs, like the bus duplicating itself at the end of the road or glitching when you get an anomaly wrong. The background looks flat and static, with no movement or atmosphere, and the character models are awkwardly proportioned. The driver’s massive steering wheel and summer t-shirt (in Russia, no less) really break immersion. The one mildly interesting element is the soft rock song playing in the background—it’s apparently about the bus and anomalies, which is an odd but slightly charming touch. Still, it’s too quiet to make an impact. Controls work fine, but that’s about the only thing that does. The “horror” label is completely misleading—there’s nothing scary here. I missed the final achievement and don’t care enough to go back for it. Even on sale for a little over a dollar, it’s not worth it. I’d only recommend this if it were free and the developer wanted feedback. Otherwise, skip it.
