Really fun game, but it's way too hard to avoid dying with a small amount of players (my friend and I were playing two player,) and "easy mode (no monsters)" still has monsters that killed both of us... I figure it's probably a bug but we couldn't find any way to make that bug not happen :/
Thanks for reporting, I will check and release a hotfix.
Thank you, your video was very valuable! Good feedback from the video.
idk why but the game on mac doesnt work for me.
Right-click on app -> New Terminal at Folder, type: xattr -c "."
Such an awesome game, and an unique take on the ever so popular anomaly hunting games! Here's my first gameplay video of it ;)
could you pls update the game because i want more maps and difficulties to make the game more interesting and creepier to play. thankya
This particular game won't have more maps. We plan to release steam version with more maps sometime in the future.
It was a good game, but because of the frequency I deleted it from my phone, and also the game is heavy and the enemies in it are kind of bad.
Does this support cross platform?
yes
Like for mobile and PC?
I was a little bit sceptical because the mobile game had a different name
Yes. Mobile version has more maps, but if you choose cursed apartment it will work cross platform.
Thank you for the clarification
And by the way the game is awesome and I love it
Keep up the good work
really scary game!
A fun game to play with friends, scared me a few times though we are kinda too blind to spot the difference for the anomaly. Great game overall, thanks for the game and hope see more of your stuff
macos doesnt work for me
Check the instructions.
very good game, shat ma pants.
amamos o jogo! parabens aos criadores!!!It's a perfect game to play with a friend and solo, great game!! Here our experience (I'm spanish)
Hiya! Do you have social media pages like x, blue, or such?
I do have x but I'm not active over there @brt_games
Alright, thank you very much! I'm hosting an event on Friday with your game as one of the four and just wanted to tag you.
bro there was a staff or a player playing as a entity the entity was listening to me and that was funny and cool lol
its a really great game. Please more updates :)
how do i revive my teamate and what medikit is for?
You need to get near your teammate and hold E to revive. You have only 1 medkit at the start.
are the controls WASD only or arrows also?
Only WASD
Great game! Really was a difficult challenge!
can you add linux?
very cool game, it scared shit aut of me.
Loved the Game! Didn't expect it to actually have me shaking in my boots the way that it did XD. Here is my gameplay for it! Keep up the awesome work yall. :)
Nice game, was a lot of fun to play with a friend.
I couldn’t get it to work for me, but it was probably just my learning curve. Here is my gameplay!
Hey, I have a question, what app do you use for online servers? Are they dedicated or do they run on host?
The game was extremely fun, I played it with my friend and I want to make a game similar to this genre, thats why I need your help with the servers. Thanks in advance.
It's dedicated servers from AWS. But they are not cheap, I'd recommend to use host instead for this kind of genre.
Thanks for the reply, I wonder how much exactly do they cost, Photon offers 100CCU max for 95$/year, which is decent I think? I will donate you a dollar at least for the server run.
With AWS GameLift one c5/c4 instance can handle 20-30 games, which is 40-150 players for 60$/month
This game was something special, it was really terrifying... My friends and I enjoyed it a lot. It was kinda confusing at first, but we kind of got the hang of it and played for hours trying to beat it. 10/10

Can you release the game before the update as a separate download patch? Feels almost too easy after playing the last version for so long id like to have access to the challenge with my friends
Unfortunately I can't release previous versions, because server has access only to latest version
You can try a higher difficulty option when creating room.
okay thanks anyway
I set the difficulty to "easy(no monster)" but i founded monster anyway. pls fix if it is a bug
By "easy (no monster)" I mean there will be no monsters that can kill you. Jumpscares will still be present.
Hey Devs, for some reason when trying to play with friends it says "Connection failed" every time. We are in the US and tried US and didn't work, but we tried every server option and still no solution. We also put in the IPs and Tags exactly how its stated... and every other way we could've thought XD.
We really want to play together, I played it solo and want to experience with friends lol. Any idea on how to fix this? Or what would help? Thanks!
Hello,
If your friends can create a server and you cannot join or create a server, I suspect it has something to do with ipv4
You can try to join via dns instead, for example you want to join server 3.86.35.253:46208, you'll need to input dns endpoint instead:
US: ec2-3-86-35-253.compute-1.amazonaws.com:46208
ASIA: ec2-3-86-35-253.ap-northeast-2.compute.amazonaws.com:46208
EU: ec2-3-86-35-253.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com:46208
SA: ec2-3-86-35-253.sa-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com:46208
This might work
Awesome, we will see if that works. If anything I will let you know again how it goes, thanks!

Everytime I download the game on mac it says that the file is damaged so I can't play it. This is only since the new update. How can you fix this?
Do the following: Right-click on app -> New Terminal at Folder, type: xattr -c "."
Hi! I played the game with several people as someone who try every anomaly game I can find :)
I think it is a good game with great potential! So congrats on that
But I need to report some bugs, but also some things that could be better
- I'm sometimes kicked out of the closet for no apparent reason
- I wish reviving someone wouldn't take 3 business days since it makes things just impossible
- maybe give the possibility for the player who's down to crawl slowly towards anywhere
- I wish that in the non monster (easy) mode, leaving without our partners would not kill the other: it'd be better that they would respawn with us in the elevator (like Hospital 666 for example)
- the stamina bar really is unforgiving
- not enough hiding spots
- environment changes being anomalies or not aren't always coherent? like blood from the ceiling is an anomaly but broken pipe with goo dropping isn't
Anyway love it! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for feedback!
There will be major changes to environment in the next update to make anomalies easier, and there will also be changes to anomalies.
AI will also be much easier.
Revival speed will also be changed in the future.
I'll stick around to test those updates then!
I forgot to say something:
I'm French and can help with interface translation, because some things are so wrong it's funny ( please don't take it the wrong way, it's just really funny 😭)
Great game, but i still dead when i already in the closed, fix this please 😭
i played with my friends and it was really fun but we made it to lvl 1 2 times and both times there was a wall blocking the way. the first time since i was the last one standing and we were all new we assumed we could just leave and missed an anomaly but the second time when all of us survived we learned from our mistake and found the anomaly but the door was still blocked off when we opened it and it didn’t say we missed anything. we didn’t know what to do and got back in the elevator since we couldn’t interact with anything and we got sent back up to lvl 8. we’re just confused on how we were supposed to clear the game.
When you find anomaly on first floor, you are supposed to get back to elevator and press up.
Como le hago para jugar el Multijugador Los codigos fallan
Asegúrese de que las letras estén en mayúscula y utilice letras del teclado estadounidense. Si no desea utilizar letras estadounidenses, puede utilizar IP en su lugar.
Wish I had friends to truly taste the experience, but still a great game!
