Game resetting even though there were no anomalies?

[BlueRaja]

I got to hallway 6-7 four times, and every time the game reset when there were no anomalies that I could find.

I then looked up the list of all anomalies - I had found every single one. The game had reset every single time when none of them were present.

When I went to go capture it on video, it happened again on the very first try:

The game reset in the first hallway, yet there were no anomalies. Did I miss something, or is the game just bugged?

I know the game is frustrating, but it's literally the point to find the anomalies and challenge yourself to look where you couldn't before.
As for your video I couldn't see an anomaly I know, except maybe it could be the one where the poster have shifty eyes but you'd have to calmly look around. If you run around without stopping like you do in the video some details or moving anomalies could be missed.

You can see very clearly in the video that it's not that one. In fact, I went through every anomaly on all the comprehensive lists, and none of them apply. There is no anomaly. But it still failed.

The second poster on the wall.

There is no phone number at the bottom.

Bigger posters anomaly is a common culprit. It’s honestly too subtle.

I've seen a streamer literally stare at this anomaly in the face and still couldn't see it

[Arduous Wolf]

Is it the face on the ceiling? That one got me a few times as its really subtle. You are moving too fast in the vid, but I think I can see for a split second.

I got to the point I had just one left and in your video there are no anomalies.
The one I unsuspected was this one : Check the stairs, if the number is 8, it's a fake staircase, that's the anomaly.

this one isn't bigger posters tho. the camera security poster stays the same size even with bigger posters and the posters in the clip aren't much larger than that

Nope, I checked for both of these in the video. You can clearly see it's neither of these.

I see a phone number there in older videos of the game, but when I play there is never a number there. Presumably it was changed at some point.

Was this immediately after you launched the game? The first (and possibly the second) hallway always loops to exit 0 regardless of anomalies being absent to give you time to get used to whats normal before introducing anomalies

[MoonDoggie82]

I'm not completely sure but I think you also have to make a decision whether you want to go forward or backwards before the guy turns the next corner.

I was noticing if i stuck around to long in hallways to make absolutely sure there were no anomalies the guy would have already turned the corner and it would reset to zero. So I started making a decision before he made it to the end of the hall and I beat it.

But again not really sure somebody else might want to try it out.

Your game had not start yet.
No guide board at 0:04 and 0:52.

The first time you open this game, you need to go through 3 forward loops.
The anomalies will not happen and it always says Exit 0, until you trigger the guide board.

^ This.

You can start looking for anomalies once the guide board is there.

I can agree with the poster size one. Also the face smudge on the ceiling as it can be kinda random where it goes. Also if you are low refresh rate like I am (stuck on 60hz), then ghosting can make things kinda hairy on this game... I just did a 3 win video playthrough, and multiple times, I have went through halls, very meticulously and have a rythm, but end up failing, so I'll go back and sometimes it takes me a while but I eventually figure out what I did wrong. Also the guy coming around the corner early (not the fast walk) is also an anomaly that get's me a lot.
