Anomaly Express

A 1–4 player co-op psychological horror game about spotting anomalies on a winter train.

You're on a train heading home through the snowy night. Something is wrong.

Observe your surroundings, remember what you see, and look for anything that doesn't belong.

How to play

The first carriage has no anomalies. Use it to memorize what the train normally looks like.

When you reach the end of the carriage, close the door behind you.

If you spot an anomaly, go back.

If everything looks normal, keep moving forward.

Play alone or with up to 4 players.

Demo

This is a free demo of Anomaly Express.

The full game is coming to Steam.

So, I'm assuming Carriage 0 doesn't have any anomalies. At the beginning, it says to press 'E' to open a door... I walk through the first carriage, but at the end, I can't open the door. In fact, none of the train doors can be opened! Did I misunderstand something?

You didn’t misunderstand! Carriage 0 doesn’t have any anomalies. When you reach the end, you need to close the door behind you in the vestibule, and then the door to the next carriage can be opened.

I added a small How to Play section to explain this. I’ll think of something else tomorrow and update it to make it a bit clearer. Thanks for pointing it out!

Okay, me again ^^ Now I get how the doors work, and after room 5 I was teleported to some kind of train station. There's nothing else I can do there... except jump off the edge ^^

This is a “Mega Anomaly”, a special type of anomaly with different gameplay that appears every few carriages. In the demo, it’s a dropper.

You just need to jump down, dodge the obstacles and land in the pool at the bottom, then go into the room.

You can also jump with "Space" inside the "Mega Anomaly".
