Simulation 9

What a wild ride indeed. This game starts like any other Exit 8-like anomaly game, and the first hour of the game is pretty much exactly that (besides some intriguing story elements mixed in), but later the game shifts completely towards liminal space, backrooms, and even survival horror elements. While screenshots gave a hint that this is a bit more than your regular anomaly game, the extend of deviating from this recipe came entirely unexpected. Absolutely worthwhile playing! There is some aspects where I would consider the game still a slightly bit "rough around the edges", mostly when it comes to making clearer what I am supposed to be doing (especially in the liminal space sections), and also giving clearer visual clues for finding (or rather seeing) the required items. E.g., it took me forever to get that stupid "key", mostly because I entirely missed the first path towards the camera..., and even when I did, I missed to pick it up because I someone thought the camcorder was meant and rushed back (it wasn't xD). I also struggled a bit with detecting some anomalies, they are sometimes really hard to spot. From a technical perrspective, the game ran smoothly and without …

Might be my favorite free roam anomaly game I've played. The puzzles are somewhat difficult but with a little hint in the right direction totally doable. The variety in at least the story mode is incredible. 100% worth your investment.

A rarity for an anomaly game, there's a story here in which you've died and had your consciousness transferred into a simulation. It's nothing groundbreaking or new, but at least you're not simply thrown into a location without any explanation of how you ended up there, and you get to hear someone talking to you. Of course, if you just want the standard experience, there's a mode for that as well. Regardless of your choice, both modes are based on the same mechanic that's familiar to any fan of anomaly games. You have a default room or location that you need to memorize down to the smallest details because your task is to look for differences or anomalies. There's looping involved because you always end up in the same location, which may or may not contain an anomaly. If you think everything is exactly as it was in the default location, you can keep going forward. But if something is wrong, you need to turn back and go the way you just came from. If you make a mistake, you'll return to the default room, or floor 0, shown at the stage entrance. If you get it right, the floor number goes up. The goal is to reach floor 9. The location is a corridor with some sort of bar and resting…

Fully Honest REVIEW 10/10 PHENOMINAL GAME. This game kept me on my toes and scared me a good couple of times! It has a ton of content! I played for 4 hours and didn't even realize it, i was having so much fun. It makes you use your brain in a good way! It made me paranoid and second guessing myself!!! I thought i was going crazy lol. I honestly truly enjoyed the experience and look forward to games by this dev. You wont regret playing it!

Excellent anomaly-hunting game with a very original twist to its story! If you enjoy observation games like Exit 8 and backroom aesthetics, you will love this one. Highly recommended!

Very good puzzle game, quite tricky on some of the anomalies. Be warned, lots of secrets to discover.
