The core of the gameplay revolves around preventing threatening anomalies that appear randomly. These unsettling events are influenced by a variety of factors, including your mental state, the ambient noise level, the room's brightness, and the passage of time.
To survive, you'll need to utilize everything at your disposal: a flashlight to pierce the darkness, keen observation skills, interrogation tactics, and the crucial decision of whether to approach or flee.
