The Metro Anomaly is a psychological horror game combining puzzles and maze exploration in an abandoned subway station, released by KEXO. The whole experience is about watching the environment, not about constantly running away from monsters. The aim is to find anomalies within six loops. One false move and you are back to square one, so every move requires concentration.
Traveling Through The Mysterious Subway Maze
The most memorable thing after a few plays is the tension of the silence. There are not many jump scares, but the footsteps and the eerily quiet space always create pressure. The game forces players to remember everything in the hallway. A changing corner, an unusually rotating head, or a standing figure can all be signs of an anomaly.
- Observe the environment constantly.
- Distinguish between normal and abnormal areas.
- Complete all six loops to escape the maze.
- One wrong move will send you back to the first loop.
- The horror atmosphere is more psychological than action-based.
