Liner Studio has released the anomaly-themed driving horror game *Anomaly Road*.
If you encounter a dangerous presence, run! Search for anomalies on mountain roads
Inspired by *Exit 8* and *Liminal Space*, this horror game combines “anomalies” and “driving” as you drive along Japanese mountain passes, searching for anomalies and aiming to escape.
The setting is a mountain road modeled after a famous mountain pass in “Gun○ Prefecture” with unique twists added. Various anomalies await players who find themselves lost deep in the mountains while driving.
As you drive while keeping an eye on your surroundings, you’ll encounter strange oncoming cars, tunnels with no end in sight, and “something” chasing after your car. When you encounter a dangerous presence, you’ll have to floor the gas pedal and flee.
The game features a total of 61 different types of these strange occurrences. It’s said that the game includes not only things that are simply scary, but also beautiful and humorous ones.
Developer Liner Studio is currently expanding its “Anomalies” series, which includes *Anomalies Intersection: Shibuya*—set around Shibuya’s Scramble Crossing—and *Anomalies Railroad Crossing*, where players search for anomalies near a railroad crossing with a view of the ocean.
According to the developer, YouTube gameplay videos of the previous two titles—which have been featured by famous YouTubers—have surpassed 7 million views combined. While this new title serves as a spiritual sequel to those games, it has no direct connection to them, so players can enjoy it even if they haven’t played the previous ones.
*Anomalous Road* is now available for PC (Steam). It is 10% off through November 20.
