About
OverviewAirport Security (Anomaly) puts you in the role of a night-shift airport guard whose job is to screen passengers before they board — except some of those passengers are not human. This guide walks you through the screening process, how to read the evidence, and how to survive long enough to rack up shifts.

The five screening checks
StepEach passenger goes through a set of checks. Work through them so nothing gets skipped.
- ID check compare the photo on the ID to the passenger's actual face and look for any mismatch.
- Luggage X-ray run the bags through and look for contraband hidden inside.
- Body scan examine the skeleton for missing limbs or bone structures that do not match a human body.
- Camera review watch the camera feed for things that are hard to catch with your eyes alone.
- Interrogation if something feels wrong, dig deeper with the lie detector, brain scan, eye exam, or fingerprint test.
Reading the evidence before you decide
TipsNo single check is a slam dunk on its own. Stack your findings before you make a call, because denying an innocent passenger is also a problem.
- A face that does not quite match the ID photo is worth noting.
- Strange contents on the X-ray suggest contraband.
- A skeleton with the wrong number of bones or missing limbs is a sign something is not human.
- When you are still unsure after the basic checks, use an interrogation tool.
- Do not send away the innocent.
Events running now or coming soon. They have fixed dates, so check them first.
What happens when you get it wrong
WarnThe stakes in both directions are real. An anomaly you approve will not board the plane — it will come after you instead.
Shift milestones and badges
SummaryThere are four badges, each tied to a shift count.
- First milestone survive 10 shifts
- Second milestone survive 25 shifts
- Third milestone survive 50 shifts
- Fourth milestone survive 100 shifts
Special events during shifts
TipsScreening passengers is the core loop, but shifts can be disrupted by events that change the conditions around you.
- Emergency landings, ghost events, and lockdowns can all occur during a run.
- A serial killer can appear across runs and remembers how you treated him, so your past decisions can follow you into future shifts.
Glossary
Glossary- Shift
- One complete working session at the security desk; surviving it counts toward badge milestones.
- Anomaly
- A non-human passenger hidden among regular travellers; letting one through means it will hunt you rather than board the plane.
- Crash out
- What happens when your character's fear level hits its limit — the run ends, with no health bar involved.
- Body scan
- A check that shows the passenger's skeleton so you can spot missing limbs or bone structures that do not belong to a human.
- Interrogation
- A set of deeper tests — lie detector, brain scan, eye exam, and fingerprint test — used when basic checks leave you unsure.
