"Improbability Control Bureau" is a spot-the-difference horror game. Monitor live surveillance cameras. Spot anomalies. From eerie furniture shifts to unexpected intrusions, report anomalies to correct them and survive.

As an agent of a classified organization, your mission is to monitor the live surveillance camera footage of locations reaching dangerously high levels of improbability and restore them to normality.Note: There is only one level (with two slight variants)

Shine your spotlight to report and disable anomalies

Survive the night and before all normality is lost forever!

… Was that always there?
Battle a growing sense of paranoia, armed only with your sharp eyes and memory.

The Improbability Control Bureau awaits! Are you prepared to safeguard normality in the face of improbability?
This game was made by a 2 person team: my girlfriend and I. She is responsible for most of the level design and overall art direction. While I have been primarily focused on developing the Improbability Engine that supports it.
Thank you for your continued support!

✦ AI summary

Improbability Control Bureau is an anomaly-hunting game with attractive visuals and an appealing 80s detective soundtrack that players enjoy, but it suffers from technical crashes, minimal content beyond the demo, and a lack of narrative depth that leaves players feeling the experience is too short for the asking price. Most reviewers suggest waiting for a discount or patches before purchasing, as the core gameplay—finding around 70 subtle anomalies across a few rooms—feels thin and more like a brief distraction than a complete game.

What I liked: ♥ It's an anomaly game! ♥ Slightly spooky, although I could do with more spookiness (nothing scary really at all) ♥ Graphics look great, very detailed levels/rooms ♥ I love the 80s-ish inspired detective music. I don't know how else to describe it, but I enjoy the music a lot What I didn't like: - The game crashed multiple times when I tried to play last night. My PC can more than handle this game and drivers and system on my end are updated. - I LOVED the demo for this game. However, as someone else already mentioned, not a lot of additional content was added with the full game, just two other rooms. Because of the crashes and lack of additional content, I would only recommend someone pick this game up if it's discounted. I hope the devs release some patches as well as additional content. Thanks for reading!

An interesting idea for a hidden object style game that suffers from an off the bat high difficulty and a borderline non-existent narrative, this game is more like an action figure that you pick up and play around with for a minute to see if its arms move or it makes noise and then you put right back in the box and forget about. In future, I'd suggest adding a "welcome to the team" style tutorial and an interactive narrative with characters and voice acting that introduces the haunted locations and advances a story as you progress. The soundtrack was the most interesting thing about this title.

The demo seems to be 90% of the game. I was excited for the full release, happy to pay, but didn't think I'd be paying for only two new rooms, no new levels. Other than that, it's a good game. Clearly made by a team who knows how to make a game fun. It's very good at what it does but it doesn't do much. Not entirely worth the price tag for the short playtime.

This is a decent anomaly game, about 70 in total to find. A lot of the anomalies are subtle, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for this one. There are no "no anomalies", so there is always something to spot in the rooms. Takes a while to memorize the assets in the room, but after some playthroughs you'll remember. You also click on the anomaly to report it, which is decent and the anomalies also right themselves, so you can see what they were before. Decent anomaly game, recommended (duck) Anomalies can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Eh-JA6eYPws
