Gameplay
You will start the game in the corridor for Exit 0. Walk forward and pay attention to what happens as you walk along the corridor. Keep going several times and you will eventually see 2 signs on the left wall. There is a large yellow sign showing the number of the upcoming Exit (starting at 0 and increasing to a maximum of 8). There is a smaller white sign showing these instructions:
- Don't overlook any anomalies.
- If you find anomalies, turn back immediately.
- If you don't find anomalies, do not turn back.
- To go out from Exit 8.
Continue forward and look out for anything that has changed from previous corridors. If there is something abnormal, you should turn back, otherwise continue ahead and you will reach the next corridor. There will only ever be a maximum of 1 anomaly each time.
Note that if you correctly turn back after identifying an anomaly, that particular anomaly will no longer show up throughout your game. If you miss an anomaly and continue forward, you will end up heading to Exit 0 again. If you end the game because of an anomaly, this anomaly will still continue to appear (until you survive it and correctly turn back).
Once you have completed the game once by climbing the stairs at Exit 8, there will be a new sign that appears, showing how many anomalies you have not yet discovered. This will updated every time you discover another anomaly.
