  V0.7.0 Is Here! Up To 40 Levels Exploring Basement Anomalies!

  V0.7.0 - The Basement Is Open I know things have been extremely quite around here and for that I do apologize. I have been watching and reviewing feedback concerning the game and have been actively pushing hotfixes for what comes up. We have not been pushing out community post for hotfixes or general polishing for accidents. But I am excited to announce the further expansion of The Anomaly Inspector! You've inspected the lobby. You've walked the corridors. You've survived the office. Now go downstairs. THE BASEMENT Levels 30-40 are now live. The basement brings new anomalies, new dangers, and new questions about what's really happening inside this facility. We've been building this area since early development. Testing it. Refining it. It's not perfect yet - but it's ready for you. NEW ENTITIESNew entities now patrol the facility. They behave differently from what you've encountered before. Learn their patterns. Stay sharp. NEW ANOMALIES Basement-specific anomalies have been added across levels 30-40. Some familiar in concept. Some completely new. All designed around the unique environment of the lower levels. THE FULL PICTURE The game now runs levels 1-40. The complete facility is accessible. WHAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON We want to be transparent with you as always: - Anomaly polish - Some anomalies need more life breathed into them. Interactions, audio, visual feedback. This is ongoing. - Post-Level 40 Mode - Once you've completed level 40, there are anomalies you still haven't seen. We're building a mode to let you experience everything. Not ready yet but it's on the way. - General polish and bug fixes based on your feedback. The game still has ground to cover. But every update gets us closer to the vision. YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS This game has been shaped by your reports, your reviews, and your suggestions. V0.7.0 exists because you kept playing and kept telling us what you wanted. Keep the feedback coming. We're listening. - Argaze, Argaze Game Studio

More atmosphere!WORKING ELEVATORS Navigate between floors in functional elevators. They work. They're atmospheric. They're slightly terrifying.

  V0.4 Update - New Anomalies, Voice Acting & Feedback System!

  V0.4 - Community Update VOICE ACTORSWe are slowly working towards replacing the placeholder Voiced Lines with Voice Actors. I am happy to announce we have started making progress. We have the lines for Robert Mitchell and Sarah (his wife) voiced and it is so much better!NEW ANOMALIES We added new anomalies to the deck. Sadly some had to be removed out for now until we can adjust them to run more efficiently. Hoping to add more in the future, but for now we will be more focused on making sure the current systems perform as expected.PLAYER FEEDBACK SYSTEM A great suggestion came in from Szamer about a Feedback System that helps alert players what they may have missed. We've added an alert when you are set back due to an incorrect report it will provide a brief description of what is missed without telling you exactly. This will need some polishing before it is "perfect", but it is a good start!STORY ADJUSTMENTSo the story is currently lacking at the moment. It was placed on the back burner for a bit too long. We've added an audio line at the beginning to start off the story. We have a lot more to add to get the story flushed out properly, but will be done in future updates. As of right now plans are to add Notes hidden throughout the office space of previous inspectors.QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS Credits screen updated to add proper Credits to where they are do. We are not 100% done with credits as of right now, but I want to make sure to credit all that have had a hand in making this game.WHAT'S NEXT?Future updates - Robert's letters (environmental storytelling)- Audio improvements - More voice acting- Quality of Life Improvements - So Much More!Thanks for building this with us. - Argaze
