What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Receiving your feedback: This is a crucial step for me. Your feedback will help me improve the game, fix bugs, balance the mechanics, and adjust the gameplay to better meet your expectations.

Building a community: Early access is an opportunity to create a community around the game. Your ideas and experiences will help enrich Storage Anomaly and shape its evolution together.

Funding development: The revenue generated during this phase will help me improve the game and possibly include new elements or features.

Better prioritization: By understanding what works and what needs improvement, I’ll be able to adjust my priorities to deliver the best possible experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep Storage Anomaly in early access for about 2 to 3 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During early access, my goal is to improve and enrich Storage Anomaly based on your feedback. Here's what I'd like to add:

Varied anomalies: Create more complex or, conversely, simpler anomalies based on your feedback to make the game accessible and challenging for everyone.

Unexpected events: Introduce events that complicate the search (if it's too easy).

Unlockable upgrades: Add items or tools to make anomaly detection easier, purchasable with in-game currency.

Map extensions: Expand the play area with new rooms or spaces to explore.

Difficulty modes: Allow players to choose a difficulty level that suits their playstyle.

Co-op mode (maybe): If the community requests it, add a co-op mode where two players could work together to detect anomalies.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Storage Anomaly is in a playable state and already offers several features:

26 anomalies to discover: The game offers a variety of objects and situations to observe and analyze in order to detect anomalies.

A disruptive event: A random power outage can occur, making the anomaly search more difficult and adding a layer of tension.

Complete core gameplay: You use a phone to take pictures of the anomalies.

Immersive atmosphere: The environment is dark, designed to maintain a realistic atmosphere without being horrific.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, the price doesn't change!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I would love to get your feedback on Storage Anomaly to help me improve it! You can share your thoughts and suggestions on:

Discord: Join the community to discuss the game and give me ideas directly.
X: Feel free to message me or reply to my posts.

Your feedback is essential to making this game an even better experience. Thank you in advance for your help!

About This Game

Game Objective

In Storage Anomaly, you take on the role of a cashier tasked with identifying unusual anomalies in a store's storage room. This game blends observation, exploration, and simple puzzle-solving. You will need to navigate through a dark environment and overcome unexpected challenges to complete your mission. Keep your eyes open and get ready to search for anomalies!

Gameplay

The game starts with a normal version of the storage room, which you can explore to familiarize yourself with the area. This phase is crucial, as you must memorize the layout of objects, the lighting, the sounds of the environment, and the objects you can interact with.

After this observation phase, anomalies begin to appear. These can be:

  • Visual: Displaced, appeared, or disappeared objects, faulty lights, changes in the room's layout.

  • Auditory: Strange noises, unusual silence, sounds that shouldn’t be present.

  • Interactions: Objects that react unexpectedly when you interact with them.

When an anomaly is suspected, you must use your phone to take a photo of it and report it to your boss. For this, you will need Wi-Fi, which will force you to leave the storage room. As the game progresses, unexpected events will complicate your task. Each found anomaly earns you $10. You can choose to save this money to end the game when you reach $100 or spend it on upgrades that will help you search for anomalies.

End of the game

When you have $100, your boss lets you go home, and the game ends.
