Overview

Prison Anomaly, developed and published by Morla Games, is a single-player adventure and simulation title that blends psychological horror with immersive sim elements. Released on November 2, 2026, the game casts you as a prison guard tasked with a deceptively simple routine: peer through sliding hatches, inspect cells, and scan the corridor for anything out of place.

But as the Steam user tags suggest—Psychological Horror, Walking Simulator, Mystery, Dark—this is no ordinary shift. The game supports full controller input and offers Steam Achievements, making it a polished package for horror enthusiasts.

Highlights

  • Core Mechanic: Inspect prisoners through sliding hatches and scan the surrounding corridor to identify anomalies. Press the green button if the sector is clear, or the red button if something is wrong.
  • Horror Elements: Escape monsters and horror anomalies that can trap you, resetting your shift and forcing you to start over.
  • Accessibility: Full controller support and a wide range of language options, including English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and many more.

Who It's For

If you enjoy slow-burn psychological horror with a focus on observation and dread, Prison Anomaly is likely to appeal. The walking-simulator pacing and the tension of deciding whether to press red or green make it a fit for fans of games like Papers, Please or SCP-inspired titles.

It's also a good choice for players who prefer atmospheric, narrative-driven experiences over action-heavy gameplay. Since it's a single-player game with full controller support, it's easy to pick up for a tense evening session.
