Anomaly Inc

Anomaly Inc.

Manage the Agency. Investigate the unknown. Contain the anomaly, before it takes you!

In Anomaly Inc., you are the Director of a covert agency tasked with investigating anomalous phenomena. Recruit agents with unique personalities and classes. Build your base, dormitories, research labs, containment cells, command centers, power generators. Deploy squads to anomaly sites and make real-time tactical decisions as expeditions unfold. Research new protocols, discover artifacts with hidden lore, and manage the creeping Global Anomaly Instability before reality itself destabilizes.

Inspired by the tales of the SCP Foundation and the novel Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work.

Key Features

Tactical Expedition System

• Form squads with hand-picked agents, each with their own class, personality traits, stats, and equipment

• Real-time terminal updates during missions: progress milestones, agent sanity warnings, and anomaly-specific narrative events

Agent Management

• Recruit agents with 5 classes across 6 personality affinities, 18 unique traits create deep synergy and tension
• Agents gain experience, level up, develop permanent scars, and form bonds with squadmates
• Manage sanity and health across expeditions, send traumatized agents on holiday to recover

Base Building & Power Management

• Construct Dormitories, Research Labs, Containment Cells, Command Centers, and Power Generators
• Manage fuel reserves, if demand exceeds capacity, rooms lose power by priority
• Containment Cells let you capture anomalies, reducing global instability

Research & Equipment

• Unlock new approaches, leader profiles, and squad size upgrades through the research tree
• Each agent carries their own equipment, match gear to agent class and anomaly tags for bonus scores
• Equipment has requirements and lore, a Scientist with a Spectral Compass on a Cognitive anomaly gets results a Tactical agent wouldn't

Artifact Discovery & Registry

• Find support and cursed artifacts during expeditions
• Each artifact has limited finds (or unlimited for common items), once exhausted, it won't appear again
• The Discoveries tab records every artifact ever found with lore, find count, and first-discovery date
• Some anomaly nodes require specific artifacts to unlock, build your collection to access deeper secrets

Dynamic Difficulty

• Global Anomaly Instability (GAI) rises with captures, cursed items, and disasters, and may degrades as reality frays
• A rival agency competes for discoveries; disasters strengthen their position(WIP)
• Anomalies can resurface if mastery is incomplete

Mod Support (Experimental)

The game supports JSON-based modding. A mods.zip is available separately containing the basic folder structure to build upon. Extract it next to the game executable:

Drop .json files into the matching folder, launch the game, and your content loads automatically. Override existing entries or add brand new ones. Full schema documentation is included in the mods folder. Compatible with both Linux and Windows builds just place mods alongside the binary.

Development Status

The game is in active early development. Systems will likely undergo significant changes as features are refined. Updates are targeted for Sunday through Tuesday, aiming for at least one update per week, though this may vary with update size. Follow the Devlogs for the latest changes.

Developed in Godot 4 with AI coding assistance. I'm not a software engineer by trade, but I've worked in IT for over 5 years. Feedback and ideas are always welcome, feel free to reach out.
