Project Anomaly

Project Anomaly is a browser-based containment management game about running a secret facility for impossible objects, unstable phenomena, and reality-bending threats.

You are the Director of the Department of Otherworldly Affairs. Authorize field operations, transfer secured anomalies into containment cells, assign staff, uncover hidden protocols, install countermeasures, and keep the site alive while your budget, paperwork, staff morale, and containment grid all strain under pressure.

Contain The Impossible

Every anomaly has its own hidden containment needs. Researchers reveal protocols. Security Guards suppress threat. Clerks keep the paperwork moving from Administration desks. Therapists keep the facility from falling apart psychologically. Build the wrong infrastructure, ignore a warning, or run out of money, and the site can spiral fast.

Features

  • Facility management: build Containment, Medical, Security, and Administration wings.
  • Anomaly acquisition: authorize Safe, Euclid, and Keter-class field operations.
  • Hidden protocols: research anomalies to discover which modules they require.
  • Staff assignment: assign Researchers and Security Guards to cells, and Clerks to Administration desks.
  • Research tree: unlock new containment modules, infrastructure, room upgrades, and staff programs.
  • System pressure: balance Budget, Red Tape, Sanity, Ectoplasm, salaries, hazards, and breach risk.
  • Guided onboarding: a replayable Director Briefing teaches the full loop in-game.
  • Local save support: the browser version archives your facility locally.
