So, in my first playthrough I didn’t check the tutorial, so I was clueless about what was happening. I understood that it was a loop game, but I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Then I looked at the tutorial - now I get it. But there’s also an intro cutscene in the game, and I think it would fit better if the tutorial were included there, maybe as inner dialogue or a strange call from an unknown number (since the character has a mobile phone). The game itself looks good, everything works, and the anomalies are interesting - there are many of them too. One thing I’d like more is if the anomalies actually posed some danger to the player, forcing you to escape the floor the moment you discover one. The game is also pretty hard. Most of the time, I didn’t even realize I had missed an anomaly because I just couldn’t find it and had to start over from the beginning. Maybe an easier mode than 10 floors could be added, just to help players get used to the mechanics. In conc...

About This Game
In Sector 404, you play as a man returning home late at night. The block is quiet—too quiet. You take your medicine like always, but something’s wrong. The stairwell feels endless, the air feels heavy and unseen eyes seem to follow your every step. You need to get home. But the building has other plans.
Starting at the ground floor, your goal is simple: reach your apartment—but how far is it tonight? Choose your route: 10, 15, or 20 floors. The higher you go, the more chances for something to go wrong.
The floors hide anomalies - you must watch every shadow, listen to every sound, and notice the smallest things. Miss them, and you’re pulled back to the start. Again. And again.
With 80 unique anomalies scattered throughout the block, no two games are ever the same. Stay sharp - your survival depends on it.
To make it home, you’ll need every tool you’re given: an old phone that shows how many anomalies have been detected in the building—but not necessarily found. And an electronic anomaly detector. Wave it near radios, TVs, computers, or phones, and if it starts beeping faster and the numbers spike, you’ve found something… unnatural.
You’re not sure what’s worse - the things you’re seeing, or the feeling that you’ve seen them before. What if you’ve already made it home - and this is what it looks like now?

Stomach was in knots the whole time. You're either tense because you're waiting for something scary to happen, or you're tense because you may have missed something. Great game, makes you feel awful in a good way.
