—Angstraum is an oppressive horror game that traps you in a threatening, never-ending loop. Observe your surroundings, uncover deviant anomalies, and escape deadly threats to find the exit.
Angstraum
Steam"Angstraum" (lit. 'fear space') refers to a place or situation that induces fear or discomfort, often associated with a sense of threat or unease.
A walking simulator with horror elements, inspired by the Backrooms and anomaly games like The Exit 8.
Trapped in an endless loop of an old German railway underpass, you must use your memory to escape. Explore your surroundings, remember every detail, and watch for anomalies to find the exit.
Anomalies are changes in the original environment – sometimes subtle, sometimes deadly. Up to 50 unique anomalies await to be found. The further you go, the harder it becomes to recognize them or escape their threat.

But not every section contains an anomaly. The decision lies in your perception:
Reach ten correct decisions and escape the loop. But beware: A single mistake – or your death – will send you back to the beginning.

Move: WASD keys or arrow keys (Gamepad: Left Stick)
Run: Hold Shift (Gamepad: RT / R2)
Interact: E key, Left or Right Mouse Button (Xbox: X or Y / Playstation: Square or Triangle)
Open Menu: ESC key (Xbox: Start or Menu / Playstation: Options)
