Anomaly Jobs : Data Center

Anomaly Jobs: Data Center takes a familiar anomaly-spotting formula and places it inside an appropriately unsettling workplace where repetition becomes part of the horror. Developed and published by Imbace, this free-to-play first-person experience casts you as the employee responsible for the night shift at Data Center DC4-31. At first, the assignment sounds painfully ordinary, but reports from the previous shift suggest that unusual things have started happening. From that point onward, an uneventful night at work becomes an exercise in observation, memory, and increasingly uncomfortable uncertainty. The main objective is deliberately straightforward. You repeatedly inspect the data center and determine whether something is wrong with the environment. When an anomaly appears, you must recognize it and choose the appropriate route. Making the correct decision several times in succession is necessary to complete the shift. The simplicity makes the rules easy to learn, but actually succeeding requires concentration because the game encourages you to memorize what a normal version of the facility looks like. Objects, rooms, lighting, and other environmental details gradually become …

Thank God for that Wet Floor sign. Man, my region likes this interconnect you've laid. Game is strangely hard, and definitely spooky vibes. I'll likely be recording Parts for YouTube Vids. Whomever made this game, thank you! Thank you so much for all this Pretty Lights. The blinkenlichtn is pleased. Would you be able to give us an option that lets the link lights blinking and some other distortion options to make the game feel more limiinal and anomalous? Giving us visual warping filters could allow us virtually endless gameplay by making the game much harder. That being said: ALLES TURISTEN UND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENSPEEPERS! DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN! ODERWISE IST EASY TO SCHNAPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK, BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN MIT SPITZENSPARKEN. IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN. DER RUBBERNECKEN SIGHTSEEREN KEEPEN DAS SCHNOZPICKEN HÄNDER IN DAS POCKETS MUSS. ZO RELAXEN UND WATSCHEN DER BLINKENLICHTEN.

needs MAJOR performance optimization, even at the lowest possible settings it still maxes out my gpu usage

What a fun game! I love watching people play Anomaly games and ones that you can walk through are the best. Great job! See my full playthrough of the game on my youtube channel. https://youtu.be/ymN9jKUCB9U (or search for acortlow)

For a first solo developer effort it's a reasonably good spot-the-anomaly game. Almost all of the anomalies are fairly straightforward once you know what the data center is supposed to look like. The achievements worked as far as I can tell. I'm missing two but probably didn't trigger one and the hidden one I'm guessing is for getting all of the other achievements. No jump scares, although a couple of the anomalies are mildly creepy.

It's nice :)
