Flat 9

Flat 9 is a fun little anomaly hunt game. A more juvenile take on the genre that doesn't have any bloodshed or gore and only one "dangerous" anomaly and the jumpscares are a bit silly and childish. Some of the anomalies are extremely subtle and very clever. If you have younger family members interested in horror or anomaly hunt horror, I would recommend this one. It's also far more forgiving than other anomaly hunts. Instead of being booted all the way to start, you just start from the last level. You also get 3 chances per level to mess up. Overall, a tidy and neat little game if you like this specific genre.

I absolutely love anomaly games and I really enjoyed the concept of this one. I did get a good scare from one of them as I was screensharing for my friend and they burst out laughing because I had never screamed that loud before out of fear and shock.

La primera vez, tardé una hora o más. La segunda vez fue en 15/20 minutos. Lo jugué dos veces porque en la primera se me crasheó cuando iba a salir la cinemática de los créditos finales. Y la segunda vez también. Seguro que es problema de mi PC y no del juego. El juego está bueno porque no brinda mucho, pero es corto y no aburre por eso.

EDITED TO RECOMMENDED AFTER UPDATE The dev updated to give a setting to turn off motion blur, and while the change wasn't totally noticeable, I didn't get a headache when playing this time and managed to finish the game. Pros [list] [*]Interesting gameplay, and it's not too long. It's like a blend of Observation Duty and Exit 8 style of games. [*]It looks really good, the reflections and everything are good quality, and nothing looks BAD unless you have it on the low graphics setting. [*]The anomalies aren't so difficult that you never find them, but they aren't (always) so easy that you just fly through the game. [*]Good amount of creepy/scary stuff, but without the typical cheap/loud jump scares. There's things that'll make you jump, but not because they just scream at you. [*]Sound settings that actually WORK. This seems so small, but my god, so many indie games have "settings" but they don't actually change anything. [*]If you mess up a level, you don't go TOTALLY back to the start like you would in lots of others of these kind of games. You just go back to the level before, which honestly was nice because I didn't feel like I'd just wasted my entire progress, but I also still got penalized for missing things. [/list] Cons [list] [*]Poor optimization. My PC was CHUGGING, and having some trouble with things like watching a video on my other monitor that I don't struggle with even with games that are typically more intensive. [*]Even with the motion blur setting, when inside the apartment, a lot of things still look jittery and blurry when looking around. Weirdly, doesn't have this issue at all in the hall/stairwell [*]Some textures are a lot rougher when moving around. The striped pillows and rug, and the basket... thing near the couch. It's the same effect as when people on TV wear pinstripes and they look odd when they move. [/list] Overall, the game itself is fun, worth playing, it just needs some work in the optimization and graphics/motion departments.

Un concept très sympa où l'on est en quête d'anomalie. La progression est plutôt simple et dès que l'on a compris le mécanisme cela va vite. L'appartement 9 accélère le rythme et nous fait stresser. Comptez 40 minutes environ, pour le prix c'est un bon jeu pour se détendre en quelques minutes. Découvrez mon let's play : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsuBB-8aOfk

This was so good, definitely worth a play through if you like exit 8 like games!

8/10 I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this anomaly game. A few jump scares got me. The anomalies are unique and interesting. You walk through a flat and scan an anomaly with the scanner to fix it. There can be multiple on each level. If you get it wrong you go back one flat instead of starting back at the beginning. You can die which will start you at flat one, but for the most part the game is very forgiving, which I appreciate. It makes it more fun with less frustration. When you reach flat 9 you get a cool mini survival game. There is also a collectors mode where you can play once you've beaten the game to 'collect' all anomalies that you haven't seen yet. Easy to get all achievements. You can change sensitivity, gamma, and remove motion blur. There are other options as well to help with your experience playing. It would also be nice to have a zoom feature, right mouse button, to see details better. The graphics look good, including your character, I can tell the dev put a lot of work into this game. Pretty cool game overall and I think it's worth the price.

The classic "What is wrong here" Anomaly game that just hits all the right spots, enjoy going up with only a soft punishment of Failure equals go down one floor, it is a short adventure to enjoy and have a laugh when one of the creatures is just the Balatro clown. Its not a hard game, and the surprise twist at the end, give me hops this developer could do another pleasant to play game as this one.
