A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Note: if you're planning to play this for fun or profit, I'd suggest checking back in a day or two for the full build. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to implement the second room so I'll be doing that over the next few days. The game is functional (?) but the full build will probably give you a better experience.

Play as Sagami (first name unknown), a government-employed magical girl who would really rather be playing games at home than doing overtime with her coworker Sakai in the middle of nowhere at a secluded train station overladen with anomalies.

Your goal is to take pictures of anomalies to gain power, and then use that power to "eat" any left-over anomalies from the previous round, with a total of 5 rounds. Be careful though, because gaining too much power or getting attacked by an active anomaly will send you back to the 0th round and start everything over again.

Features:
- photo-taking mechanic (you can photograph the HUD if you really want to)
- 40 different passive anomalies, 7 different active anomalies
- painterly-style background art and atmospheric sound design (?)
- 4 unique CGs
- lots of frame-by-frame animation (I am sad)
- Exit 8-inspired gameplay (for example, it's at a train station)
- cute anime girls (2, possibly 3 if we stretch the definition a bit)
- being able to miss attacks is an intended feature (I actually spent like 5 minutes coding it in)

Controls:
AD to move
[Enter]/[Space]/[LMB] to progress dialogue
[LMB] to aim/take pictures while aiming
[RMB] to attack/exit aiming
[Shift] to toggle HUD
