Aberration Analyst is a game in which the player must process incomplete and unreliable data in order to identify the locations of monsters. The player is an analyst whose decisions will determine the fate of a team of monster hunters and specialists … and the world.
## About This Game
You are an analyst in a very secretive, underground organization. Scour
tabloid headlines, police reports and other sources in order to locate
supernatural threats to the safety and sanity of your fellow citizens.
Players have various tools at their disposal in order to achieve their goal.
Tabloids are a great place to start looking for information about monster
sightings and attacks. Unfortunately, the tabloids also have two major
weaknesses. First, they are almost totally unreliable, and should not be
trusted by themselves. Second, their availability is limited, only ten
headlines are released per day. Still, they make a good place to start
identifying possible monster activity.
More reliable than tabloids, reports come in two varieties, Police and
Coroner. Reports are available for each city, but will cost money to access.
They provide factual information, but will not mention monsters or anything
that might threaten the reporter’s credibility.
Selecting your team is an important step in the process of monster research.
Make sure you try to identify the type of monster you are going after,
otherwise your team may not be properly prepared.
Lore is collected as a player progresses through the game. Each attempt to
take down a monster will result in small, but helpful hints that will make it
easier to identify possible monster activity.
