THE ANOMALY UNIT

Very interesting game so far, I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ll update the review. The atmosphere is amazing and you can really feel the monster breathing down your neck.

Interesting horror game with plenty of content, it keeps introducing new mechanics and twists to a simple premise. Great sound design.

This game is a steal for the price. I very much enjoyed myself, despite some bugs here and there. I'll probably achievement hunt in a few days after a few more patches come out. I'd say ~3-4 hours for normal completion, then probably doubled that if you want to get everything. Similar to a lot of Anomaly spotting games, except you have to go to 3 different areas yourself to find the correct spot to scan, then go back to your terminal. The anomalies themselves are pretty obvious, with only one or two being somewhat tricky, but they are enjoyable. There are also Monsters, which to be clear are NOT anomalies, and you'll have to figure out how to deal with them as you go. I like that the natural danger in the environment and tension is not dependent on whether there is or is not an anomaly, unlike other anomaly games. Some of the levels are actually quite difficult, but death isn't punishing at all so it's fine. I don't mind a bit of jank if I'm only setback a tiny bit as well. Anyway, if it looks interesting to you, it probably is, and the price is too good to bother saying anything else.

Indie horror gem💎

Spooky, in a tense and lovely way.
