In the game, the player is an employee of a secret bureau that manages anomalies and investigates objects that break the laws of physics, logic, and reality. It is planned for PC via Steam.","whyItMatters":"The two studios settled a naming overlap by discussion rather than dispute, and the change protects a project whose lineage is openly borrowed from CONTROL while both titles approach release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMind Creations is now calling the game Anomaly Inspector Simulator, the name that will appear on Steam.
