Games Like Anomaly Detected on Roblox (And How They Differ)

Roblox has a whole cluster of “anomaly” horror games right now, and their names blur together in search. This page is for two kinds of visitors: players who landed here meaning a different anomaly game, and players looking for more games like this one.

Which anomaly game am I actually playing?

Anomaly Detected (this wiki) is the one where you sit in a monitoring room watching security camera feeds of a client property. You never walk the property yourself — you cycle cameras, memorize rooms, and file reports in the Anomaly Log under nine categories. Solo-developed by BanuTheCat (X Core Studios), launched June 25, 2026. If your game has a camera-switching interface and a report quota, you are in the right place.

How do the similar games differ?

Game	Your role	How you spot anomalies
Anomaly Detected	Surveillance contractor	Watch CCTV feeds, report under 9 categories
Animal Hospital (Anomaly)	Vet clinic receptionist	Inspect animal patients at a check-in window — visual, photo, camera, and paperwork checks
Home Alone: Anomalies	Homeowner	Verify door visitors — compare their story against cameras, objects, and voice checks
Keep the Door Locked	Hotel guest	Strangers knock — verify them against cameras, the peephole, and posted rules before letting anyone in
Spuddy’s (Anomaly)	Diner worker	Serve customers but refuse anomalies at the counter

The genre split is roughly: observation-duty style (this game — watch fixed feeds, report what changed) versus intake/decision style (the others — judge a person or thing in front of you, then admit or reject). Same horror DNA, different loop.

Why does this matter for using this wiki?

Guides do not transfer between these games. Animal Hospital’s “five-point check-in” does not exist here; our Anomaly Log categories and quota/fail rules do not exist there. If a guide you found mentions check-in windows, shutters, or tasers, it is for a different game.

Is Anomaly Detected worth playing vs the others?

Honest take: it is the purest “I’m on Observation Duty”-style experience on the platform — no minigames between you and the feeds, four distinct properties live with a fifth due ~September 20 (see the chapter list), co-op for up to 8 players, and a developer shipping a new chapter every few weeks (tracked on the update log). If you want the spot-the-difference fantasy without a job simulator wrapped around it, this is the pick. If you want more moment-to-moment variety — treating patients, serving customers — the intake-style games offer that instead.
