Use of the limitation
The anomaly-spotting genre's "enemy" is the anomaly itself — and in this game, the anomaly is you. Story-wise (wanted posters with your silhouette, commuters fleeing from you, the announcement telling everyone to turn back... from you), mechanically (your own hesitation materializes as ghost anomalies you must turn back from), and permanently (every wrong call breaks a corridor light, forever). The theme "Control" is layered in too: you only ever have two inputs, and the corridor was inspecting you all along.

I love the vibes so much! So scary and the art is AMAZING. There are a few games in this jam that are riding on vibes and this imo is the best of those. Great job, I actually loved this! Also obviously great execution and very unique concept.
Nice I liked the concept, I think I heard exit 8 is becoming a movie soon

Good adaptation of exit 8 concept for this limitation. Its also very solid artstyle that keep you focused all game long. Nice screamer BTW. Well done!!!
Interesting concept.. I got kinda confused but figured it out at the end. Good job!
藝術風格很不錯，基於限制所做的改編也超棒！甚至還有多重結局，我很喜歡！
Really nice game! I like the idea and the overall feel. Good job getting it finished for the jam!
The art is absolutely amazing!
thank you!! tbh it's AI art that i pixelized after, glad it doesn't look like it lol
Well done and fun game. Was a bit confused about the ending, I'm not sure if I died to the story or because I messed up. Enjoyed it!
haha yeah there's actually 3 endings depending on how you finish - the vagueness is kind of on purpose but a few ppl said the same so i'll make it read clearer. glad you had fun
Art was great, reminds me of Exit 8
I didn't understand exactly what classified as an anomaly at the beginning, could've been a little more descriptive
yeah that's fair, the early ones are too subtle. gonna add a clearer "normal" room at the start so you have something to compare to. thanks for the note
Excellent game, somewhat similar to Exit 8.
ty! Exit 8 was 100% the inspiration haha
