Anomaly Inspector Simulator Renamed to Avoid Confusion with CONTROL
The two studios settled a naming overlap by discussion rather than dispute, and the change protects a project whose lineage is openly borrowed from CONTROL while both titles approach release.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Mind Creations renamed its SCP-inspired artifact investigation game from Anomaly Control Simulator to Anomaly Inspector Simulator. The change follows talks with Remedy Entertainment, whose CONTROL series inspired the game; CONTROL Resonant is set for September 24. In the game, the player is an employee of a secret bureau that manages anomalies and investigates objects that break the laws of physics, logic, and reality. It is planned for PC via Steam.
Mind Creations is now calling the game Anomaly Inspector Simulator, the name that will appear on Steam. A separate entry, CONTROL Resonant, arrives on September 24, which is what the earlier title risked being read against.
Playtesting has started, with access handed out across several rounds. The team is working to finish the build for Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition, so the rename lands before the game next stands in front of players at scale.
