The first thing that caught my eye about Anomie was the screenshots. Though they look simple and flat at first, their minimalist composition successfully conveys a gloomy, oppressive, and lonely atmosphere even before the game begins, and that meant I could never get the game out of my head, despite the game's clear low budget. As I started the game itself, I was glad to see this melancholic atmosphere carried over. The game takes place in an unspecified apocalyptic event, which forces the protagonist to be separated from his family and moved to an apartment complex in the middle of nowhere, where he and hundreds of other strangers will have to just...stay in until further notice. This makes for a very distinct type of apocalyptic setting as it is neither after the end of the world, which at least provides a fresh start and opportunity to heal, nor before the end of the world like in a film like Last Night, where all of humanity is doomed but at least granted time to make peace with ...

About This Game
“Some would call this a dystopia. It is, after all, a time in history where your individual will cannot be respected as it once could. We are, after all, on the brink of becoming a dying breed. Or so they say, anyway.
I am being ripped out of my ordinary life, and I will be put into the system's hands. I understand why. I understand why it's necessary. On some level, I am even relieved by it. Social disinterest. Isolation. They have a plan for making this right, because so far it has all been so, so wrong. Every fiber of my body can attest to that.
I am soon getting on a bus together with the rest of the young, healthy people of my neighborhood. We are leaving for a settlement. It's a settlement where futures are made, supposedly. Where free wills are neglected, presumably. Where the human race will get another chance at surviving, hopefully."
―Quentin, protagonist of Anomie
Anomie is set in a fictional world that resembles our modern day. The protagonist, Quentin, finds himself experiencing a chain of events that leads him to what can only be described as a new life. A new place with new rules—a new life, a new future. Will the public authority's desperate efforts bear fruit?
