About Sector 404
In Sector 404, you play as a man returning home late at night. The block is quiet—too quiet. You take your medicine like always, but something’s wrong. The stairwell feels endless, the air feels heavy and unseen eyes seem to follow your every step. You need to get home. But the building has other plans.
- Starting at the ground floor, your goal is simple: reach your apartment—but how far is it tonight? Choose your route: 10, 15, or 20 floors. The higher you go, the more chances for something to go wrong.
- The floors hide anomalies - you must watch every shadow, listen to every sound, and notice the smallest things. Miss them, and you’re pulled back to the start. Again. And again.
- With 80 unique anomalies scattered throughout the block, no two games are ever the same. Stay sharp - your survival depends on it.
- To make it home, you’ll need every tool you’re given: an old phone that shows how many anomalies have been detected in the building—but not necessarily found. And an electronic anomaly detector. Wave it near radios, TVs, computers, or phones, and if it starts beeping faster and the numbers spike, you’ve found something… unnatural.

I enjoyed this game. Im not sure what the negative reviews were talking about. Its like they played a different game. I played this on stream and genuinely had a good time. I was confused when I reached the end since most anomaly games have an exit that makes the credits roll or take you back to the menu.... other than that, pretty standard anomaly game.2 found this helpful
Fun little game, I can get lost in it for a good hour or so a time. smooth game play, volumes run a little high but you need it up to hear the surroundings, if i had to nit pick i'd want to reduce the volume of jump scares. but all in all perfect for those spooky people who enjoy a good jump scare, and those perfectionists who are determined to 100% for achievements.1 found this helpful
[h1]Strong Scares, Weak Anomalies[/h1] [i]Sector 404 is a first-person anomaly horror game set in a crumbling Soviet housing block. After taking your medicine, your world begins to fracture.

Your objective is simple: reach your apartment. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] Sector 404 is a first-person anomaly horror walking simulator built around spotting differences in a looping environment. If everything appears normal, you go up the stairs to the next floor. If something is off, you must go back down to progress. You can choose the difficulty by selecting how many correct loops you need in a row to win, either 10, 15, or 20 floors. There are 80 anomalies in total, which is a strong amount of variety. Once you’ve encountered an anomaly, it won’t repeat until you’ve seen them all. You can also reset your progress from the main menu. A cellphone tracks how many anomalies have appeared, but not how many you successfully identified. You also have an Electronic Anomaly Detector. This de…1 found this helpful
Pretty hard game... I don't know what I'm missing sometimes. Some anomalies are really obvious but others are near invisible. I've managed 15 floors so far. What makes it harder is the lack of guides. So you better have a photographic memory! The game keeps you on edge due to the jump scares which made me ♥♥♥♥ myself multiple times... Me auld mother almost had a stroke watching me play it as well. I'd say it's worth a couple of quid and provides a nice challenge.1 found this helpful
