"Anomaly Hunter - Prologue" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Anomaly Hunter". Anomaly Hunter is a "Where's Waldo" style Adobe Flash/Browser/Mobile tier hidden object puzzle game... unclear why this advertisement is here on Steam advertising a Flash(like) game that doesn't even exist. At least they got the "Where's Waldo" art style down pat... which is winning no awards in terms of game visuals. The ATI Rage 128 came out in the mid 1990s... browser devs need to catch up. Even consoles can do 3D graphics now. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Anomaly Hunter, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.

I feel bad but judging by even positive reviews below im not alone: its a great premise but the onboarding is so bad that it ends up being really frustrating and confusing really fast. part of this is the rough localization sure, but its not just that and besides localization stuff can be forgiven. i think the bigger issue is just that even for an anomaly game with weird stuff that makes no sense there's little intuitive about what the puzzles even are, how to solve them, and why or how any of the mechanics make it any more compelling. sorry :(

The game seems intriguing, but it's a bit unclear what we're supposed to do with the anomalies once we find them. It took me a while to realize that I needed to go back in time and return the objects to their original places. The assistants are quite vague and don’t offer much guidance. However, once you figure out how it works, it's a decent game to pass the time.
