Telling residents from anomalies
TipsNormal residents walk up with straightforward body language and no surprises. Anomalies break that pattern.
- Watch for visitors who move in ways a human body cannot — unnatural angles or impossible postures are a red flag.
- If the same person appears twice, treat the second one as a doppelganger and block them.
- A visitor who passes through a door without opening it, or moves through walls, is not a resident.
- Strange sounds or voices coming from a visitor that do not match normal speech are a warning sign.
- If someone outside matches a resident already inside the building, do not let them in.
What to do when an anomaly gets through
WarnIf an anomaly enters the building, keep your distance and use the emergency phone immediately.
Keeping the generator and emergency systems running
SummaryThe generator supplies electricity to the whole hotel. If it goes down, your flashlight and the emergency phone both become unavailable. Make regular visits to the machine room part of your routine.
- Generator status confirm it is running
- Emergency phone use it in the case of a trespasser
- Exit locks keep emergency exits shut at all times
Paying to play
SummaryThe game is fully playable without spending anything. Joining the developer's Roblox group gives you a special chat tag and access to other upcoming perks, but none of that affects how anomalies behave or how well you can do your job.
- Core gameplay completely free for every player
- Group membership optional, rewards a chat tag and upcoming benefits
Glossary

- Emergency exit
- Any external door that must stay shut at all times to stop anomalies from entering from outside.

Common questions
FAQDo group members have any gameplay advantage over everyone else?
No. Group benefits are a special chat tag and other upcoming benefits. The security work itself plays out identically for members and non-members alike.
