Is Anomaly Company worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who enjoy spotting small environmental changes
- Small groups who want to discuss observations during online play
- Solo players who prefer memory-based investigation over combat
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want to recover from mistakes without restarting the level will hit the restart consequence after a wrong decision.
- Players seeking action-heavy progression may bounce off the repeated cycle of memorizing surroundings, inspecting changes, and judging the timeline.
- Players who do not want online interaction may not suit the game's crew-focused cooperative format.
Our take on Anomaly Company
The bounce point arrives after an incorrect timeline judgment: the run ends and must begin again. Players who struggle to retain a level's baseline or coordinate conflicting observations may find that decision loop demanding, especially when anomalies are subtle.
What is Anomaly Company?
Anomaly Company is a horror game for one to four players online.
Each level starts with a stable environment that players must study and remember. Changes, anomalies, jumpscares, and other unsettling events can then appear. The crew compares observations through voice or text chat and decides whether the timeline remains safe or needs to be purged. A wrong decision forces the group to restart. The game uses realistic, liminal locations, with distinct maps and different anomalies to observe. Solo play is supported, while cooperative sessions let players discuss what they have seen before committing to a decision.
