All 10 Photomaly anomaly locations

The tested good-ending route requires all 10 camera reports across Days 2–4. Check the feeds around new customer arrivals, click the anomaly, and confirm that it disappears before moving on.

How to log an anomaly

Open the security-camera feed, spot the abnormal figure or object, then click it to photograph/report it. In the test, a successful report made the anomaly disappear and added it to the computer log. If it remains, click it again before leaving the feed.

  • Switch feeds instead of waiting on a single camera.
  • Check when a new customer arrives; that was the most reliable tested timing.
  • Do not stay at the computer continuously—continue normal tasks between checks.
  • Use disappearance on the feed as the immediate confirmation.

Day 2 · 3 reports

Both room reports are easy to group into one pass. Check them early, then sweep the reception camera.

Day 3 · 3 reports

The Day 3 test separated the three reports across the darkroom, bathroom, and backyard feeds. Sweep all three rather than waiting for a single room to update.

Day 4 · 4 reports

The backyard clown is particularly easy to miss if you only watch interior cameras. Include the outdoor feed in every Day 4 sweep.

What not to count

Two Day 3 scenes can look like reports but were not counted in the tested 10-location checklist.

  • The person sitting in the toilet is not an anomaly; startling them can interfere with the normal flow.
  • The person behind the backyard door is a story interaction. Call for help, but do not treat it as one of the 10 reports.
