Are you ready to observe the unknown? Welcome to Dreamcore Anomaly Stalker, a psychological horror surveillance game where your attention to detail is your only lifeline. You are trapped in a mysterious monitoring station, tasked with a chilling objective: observe live camera feeds from surreal, nostalgic liminal spaces. But be warned—these dreamcore environments are not as peaceful as they seem. Your job is to carefully monitor the cameras for any anomaly. The scenes may look like perfectly still, pastel-colored dreamscapes, but reality here is fragile. A misplaced object, a sudden distortion, or the terrifying presence of a stalker can appear at any moment. You must memorize the "idle" state of every room, field, and endless hallway. When a shift occurs, report the anomaly immediately before it's too late. If you fail to observe the changes, the psychological horror intensifies. The mysterious stalker thrives on your mistakes, slipping through the camera feeds and getting closer with every anomaly you miss. Key Features: Observe Bizarre Realities: Monitor high-quality, continuous surveillance feeds of eerie liminal spaces, endless backrooms, and nostalgic dreamcore maps. Identify Every Anomaly: Find the differences in real-time. Spot extra objects, unnatural movements, camera glitches, and terrifying intruders. Survive the Stalker(Anomaly): A relentless entity is hiding within the camera feeds. Do not let the stalker manipulate the environment. Report its presence before it finds you. Psychological Horror Experience: No cheap scenes. Immerse yourself in a deep, unsettling atmosphere filled with uncanny valleys, surreal landscapes, and building paranoia. Test Your Memory: The idle state of each camera is your baseline. Sharpen your mind to catch even the most subtle anomaly in the dreamcore world. How to Play? - Observe the surveillance monitors closely. - Memorize the default layout of the map. - Search for any anomaly - stalker, intruders, missing objects, extra items, visual distortions. - Do not miss anything. Report the anomaly accurately to secure the sector and keep the stalker away. Can you maintain your focus, or will the dreamcore consume you?

They are waiting for you to look away. icemoongames@gmail.com https://icemoongames.vercel.app/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
