A roguelite monster-management simulation inspired by the likes of the SCP Foundation, Cabin in the Woods, and Warehouse 13. Order your employees to perform work with the creatures and watch as it unfolds; harness greater energy, and expand the facility
Each day, you select an "Abnormality" - a dangerous, anomalous creature - to focus on. You then assign employees to perform different types of "work" with the Abnormality, such as Insight, Attachment, Repression, and Instinct. Your goal is to extract as much "energy" as possible while avoiding employee casualties and containing any potential breaches.
Every Abnormality has its own unique set of rules, behaviors, and effects that you must learn through trial-and-error. Some Abnormalities become more dangerous if you perform certain work types, while others may bestow beneficial effects or items on your employees. Correctly understanding and adapting to each Abnormality's mechanics is crucial to your success.
You must carefully manage your pool of employees, equipping them with specialized gear and abilities to mitigate the dangers posed by the Abnormalities. Employees can become corrupted or mentally scarred, leading them to turn against your other staff. Minimizing casualties and maintaining a stable workforce is a constant challenge.
There is an inherent tension between safely containing the Abnormalities and extracting as much energy as possible. While playing it safe may prevent immediate disasters, it often results in lower energy yields and slower progression. You must balance calculated risks against the potential rewards to advance your facility.
The game features roguelite mechanics, allowing you to retain certain upgrades and knowledge between runs even after a failure. This encourages experimentation and learning from mistakes, as you can apply your newfound understanding to subsequent attempts.
The game's dark, unsettling atmosphere and intriguing lore are deeply integrated with the gameplay. As you delve deeper into the facility and uncover the secrets behind the Abnormalities, you become more invested in the narrative and the consequences of your actions. However, the game is renowned for its unforgiving difficulty, requiring you to master a wide range of mechanics and strategies to overcome the increasingly complex challenges.
