DEMO OUT NOW!

The Call Button | Release: Oct. 2026

A short, observation-based psychological thriller. You are trapped in a constantly changing hospital room. Your only way out: memorize your surroundings, spot the terrifying anomalies and survive the loop. But survive long enough, and you must face your nightmares. Why did you steal the intel? What was it?

Gameplay

Every day, you wake up in the exact same room. Memorize the original room and see if there have been any alarming changes today. There are no fights, and nowhere for you to hide...

You have two choices:

  • Take your medication if you spot an anomaly.
  • Hit the call button for your daily check-in if you're sure the room is safe

Face Your Interrogation

Every few days, you get nightmares. Sit across the table from your former HR director in surreal, interactive nightmare sequences. Relive your career, your mistakes, and the corporate espionage that put you in this hospital bed.

Key Features

  • Playable Prologue: Experience the incident. Start a seemingly normal shift at the office and steal the secret information that seals your fate.
  • Spot the Differences: Survive 11 days of escalating terror, featuring over 60 unpredictable anomalies.
  • Story Nightmares: Relive past events and past mistakes in interactive nightmare sequences, guided by a cold HR executive. Why are these memories appearing?
  • Multiple Endings: The game features 2 endings based on your choices.
  • Endless Mode: Not in the mood for the story? Do you just want to enjoy the pure thrill of hunting anomalies? Then simply select the Endless Mode in the menu!

What’s Inside the Demo?

  • 30+ Unique Anomalies: Keep your eyes peeled; memorize the base room, because things will change...
  • The First Nightmare Sequence: Take a seat across from the Director of Human Resources and Information Ethics. Your psychological evaluation begins here, featuring two completely distinct endings based on your choices.

Do like the concept of this Anomaly Game. Concussed at a hospital and seeing weird things once in a while, depending on the day. W Game!!

For being only a short little demo, this was not too shabby so far! Solid anomaly horror game with a story and endless mode. I only ever played the story mode twice to get all the endings due to time, but for what I played I quite enjoyed this. Stellar graphics, great room design, great anomalies that I spotted. Only issue I had at some points was performance. Made a video on it.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the performance some more for the final release! (The games is very optimized; but I still noticed that the planar reflection from the mirror causes some spikes, so it’s probably that)

Holy moly! This reminded me of Who's At The Door game, which I hadn't played the full game. I liked some of the trippy anormalies and in a hospital? Interesting one. I did wish for longer, and I was very hooked to the story haha. Nice job! I look forward to the full game! 
I hope there can be a mix of normal rooms & maybe mix up the rooms. :) Maybe that nurse will have a face sometime? Be interesting. 
I chose to stream your game at: 3:23:59
