Anatomy is a 2016 horror video game developed by Kitty Horrorshow. [1] It was released on PC, MAC OS X, and Linux. [2]

Reception

The game is considered to be a cult classic. [3] It has received positive reviews from critics. Julie Muncy of Wired wrote that "Anatomy is a powerful entry point to [horror] experience, an explanation of its value and an exploration of its impact. Haunted houses are having a moment, but the best ones, pound for pound, might be in video games. And in terms of succinct power and lasting impact, Anatomy can't be beat." [4] Steven Messner, writing for Rock, Paper, Shotgun, said "It's a curious thing that Anatomy is so effective, because in reality it's a pretty janky Unity game set inside of a small home that you simply walk around and explore." [5]
