The mechanic of using a camera to capture anomalies adds a layer of tension and urgency to the gameplay. Players must be quick to react, snapping photos at just the right moment to document the anomalies before they vanish. This gameplay element requires a keen eye and steady nerves, as the spectral manifestations can be both subtle and fleeting, demanding acute attention to detail and quick decision-making.
