Description
About This Game
You have fallen into a surreal and haunted underground neighborhood. Discover its origins and escape with your life - and sanity - intact.
Anemoiapolis finds horror in the familiar -- places so ordinary that film and TV usually avoid them. Experience the comfort of existential dread.
With nobody around to let you out, you'll have to forge your own path to the exit.
Push obstacles and smash windows -- whatever it takes to get to the next room.
Put your puzzle skills to the test. Break into electrical panels to access new areas.
Don't count on that door being there the next time you swing around. Things aren't always as they appear.
This game is designed from the ground-up to make you lost and confused. If you feel like you're going in circles, then you're on the right track.
Anemoiapolis is developed by Andrew Quist, a solo developer who takes heavy inspiration from his Michigan hometown. Encouraged by forum posts in late 2020 about "liminal spaces" and "the backrooms", Anemoiapolis is a personal retelling of those concepts.
Soundtrack by JORDANN and 4REST
