Really unique, surreal visuals... but very short. Combination of subliminal and anomaly styles.
Has met my expectations
Short but good anomaly/liminal game, I could not find the hidden area achievement but maybe you can? Rating: 7/10
Anomalum drops you into an unending nightmare, where your only path to escape is through your wits and keen observation. You're asked to spot anomalies, check clocks, and follow a set of simple yet eerie rules: retreat if something's off, move forward if everything seems normal. The tension builds in those spaces between reality and dread. The game’s strengths are in its immersive soundscape, haunting visuals, and tight pacing—making for a gripping, if brief, experience. It’s a bite-sized horror that sticks with you long after you've escaped. Pros: ✔ Deeply unsettling atmosphere in under 30 minutes ✔ Clever, puzzle-focused gameplay (“spot the anomalies” mechanic) ✔ Strong value at a modest price Cons: ✖ Very short runtime ✖ Minimal narrative depth — your interpretation shapes the experience ✖ Spotlight on visuals and mood may overshadow gameplay for some Rating: ★★☆☆☆
7/10 I absolutely love the Vapor Wave design of these three levels. The game plays well and the transition between rooms is very unique. One issue I had was the last section impossible to see as it was completely black with faint lights. I checked the settings and couldn't find a way to increase the gamma. I managed to win by guessing, and after watching other game plays I realize that is not something everyone experiences. So it is a little game breaking being unable to see well enough to find the anomalies. This game is good for those that don't like horror anomaly games, as this one is really mild. The creepy baby theme makes sense once you reach the end. The game is rather short, but you can tell the dev put a lot of work into the look of their game and I find it so beautiful. Worth the price.
