        Anomaly Game on par with Exit 8

        I've been going through several anomaly games since finding Exit 8. A lot of them have been hit & miss, but I came across The Stairwell. Needless to say this is one of the best anomaly games I've played in a while, and it really captures that expectation of what anomaly games are about. There are unique points where you get taken to other sections of the game, so you're not always tired to the stairwell. I think if you like Exit 8, Platform 8 and other good anomaly games, you need to give this a go. I already got the Platinum Trophy, because of how good I found it.

        Step into the shoes of an overworked employee in two high-stakes environments where attention to detail is the difference between going home and never leaving. Whether you are closing up a deserted supermarket under the thumb of a strict supervisor or navigating a massive, looping stairwell filled with supernatural phenomena, your observation skills will be pushed to the limit.

        1. Before Exit: Supermarket
        The lights are buzzing, the aisles are empty, and your supervisor is waiting for any excuse to fire you. As a supermarket employee, your job is to lock up - but ""perfection"" is the only way out.
        🛒 Daily Assignments: Turn off every light, lock the fridges, and mop the floors.
        🧐 Attention to Detail: Spot the smallest mistakes, from expired yogurt to flickering neon signs.
        ⚠️ High Stakes: One missed task means facing the harsh reality of being fired.

        2. The Stairwell
        Your first day as a security officer is anything but ordinary. Inspired by the ""anomaly loop"" genre, you must navigate a vast, vertical stairwell designed by a mysterious architect.
        🔍 Spot the Difference: If the floor looks normal, head up. If you spot one of the 50+ anomalies, run downstairs immediately.
        🕯️ Nightmare Mode: Test your nerves in total darkness using only a candle to light your way.
        📈 High Replayability: The game tracks your findings, prioritizing new anomalies to keep every run fresh.
