Captured 2 Walkthrough: All Anomalies by Room & How to Beat Every Monster

The looping, dimly-lit hallway of the apartment in Captured 2 — The endless, looping hallway is the spine of *Captured 2* — every room branches off it, and the far door always sends you back to the start. *(Official Steam screenshot.)*

Source basis: this guide is synthesized and rewritten from the most complete walkthrough that exists for the game — Chris McMullen's “Captured 2 walkthrough — Anomaly and monster guide” on GameSpew (published 18 May 2026, updated 8 June 2026), which documents roughly 89 of the game's 100 anomalies. It is cross-checked against a second, derivative write-up on Showgamer (used only to confirm wording and one detail). Official details — developer, release date, the camera/anomaly categories — are from the Steam store page (app 3390880). Screenshots are official Steam store images. Anomalies are partly randomised per loop, so the honest answer is always “here is the full pool, organised by room, with the correct category for each” — not a fixed sequence. Nothing below is invented.

What is Captured 2?

Captured 2 is a first-person anomaly-spotting horror game by Puck Redflix (published by Puck Games), released on 22 April 2026. It's the sequel to the cult looping-hallway hit Captured, and the official pitch sums it up neatly: “You're trapped in an apartment with ever-changing rooms. Capture anomalies on camera, survive deadly entities and escape an endless nightmare.” You play Emily, a teenager caught up in a string of unexplained disappearances, stuck in a looping version of her own home while her memory slowly slips away — which is why so many anomalies are scrawled reminders like “REMEMBER” and broadcasts about the missing.

The sequel shakes up the formula but keeps the core loop intact: walk the rooms, spot what's wrong, log it on your camera with the correct label, and avoid the monsters that periodically spawn in to hunt you. This guide covers how the loop works, how to beat all four monsters, and a room-by-room list of every anomaly we have categories for, so you never tank a run by mislabelling or missing one.

How to play Captured 2

You're trapped in a looping version of the apartment. Rooms branch off a central hallway, but the door at the far end of the hallway simply loops you back to the start of the hallway again. Each loop, the house may — or may not — contain an anomaly: something strange, changed, missing, or added.

To log one, zoom in with the right mouse button, left-click the anomaly, and pick the correct category from the selector. When you think you've found everything in the loop, leave through the far door in the living room. If you were right, the anomaly counter in the bottom-left flashes green; keep looping until you fill the day's target (for example, six anomalies). Exit the living-room door on a full counter and you advance to the next day.

Here the laundry room has become a tiled “playroom” — a *Deformed Room*. *(Official Steam screenshot.)*

There are three days in all, selectable from the main menu as you unlock them. The catch: one mistake restarts the whole day. Miss an anomaly, pick the wrong category, or get killed by a monster, and you start that day over. Worse, the game never tells you how many anomalies are in a given loop — it could be none, it could be one, it could be several — so you have to sweep every room every loop. That's exactly what the room lists below are for.

The seven anomaly categories

The camera's selector only offers seven labels, and picking the wrong one counts as a miss. They are:

Object — furniture and items added, removed, moved, multiplied, or flipped.
Electronic — TVs, radios, phones, alarms switched on or playing something.
Lighting — lamps and lights that shouldn't be on, or are the wrong colour.
Water — running taps, leaks, floods, rain.
Wall Writing — messages, words or drawings scrawled on walls and surfaces.
Missing Room — a door or an entire room that has vanished.
Deformed Room — a room replaced by something else entirely (a maze, a field of doors, a film set).

All monsters in Captured 2 and how to beat them

Four entities can kill you. A reliable tell: when your flashlight stops flickering, the immediate danger has passed. Here's how to handle each one.

Monster	Behaviour	How to survive
Ring-a-Ding	A giant toy telephone that stalks the hallway	Duck into any side room or the hallway closet — it won't follow you in
Walk-E	Reacts to noise — your mic and your footsteps	Crouch (Left CTRL) to stop it; lure it into a big room and shut the door
Carroteras	A Weeping Angel — frozen while your light is on it	Keep the light on it, walk it into a room, shut the door (breaks out after a couple of minutes)
Jestie	Fast, and can duplicate herself	Break line of sight — dash into a room, slam the door, hide

Ring-a-Ding

This terrifying giant toy telephone is, ironically, the easiest threat to deal with. The moment you hear it, duck into a side room or the hallway closet. If you stay out in the hallway it will reach you, but it won't follow you into the rooms — so the open hallway is the only place it's dangerous.

Walk-E

Walk-E is the reason the game asks you to check your microphone level on startup: it reacts to noise, both real sound from your mic and your in-game footsteps. As soon as you see it, crouch with Left CTRL and it stops chasing. If you've already found every anomaly, sneak around it to the exit. If you still need to search, lure it into a larger room — the office or master bedroom — by standing up and pacing back and forth; once it enters, crouch, slip around it, and shut the door behind it. We haven't seen it escape a room it's been shut into, but stay crouched and quiet while you finish your sweep.

Carroteras

Returning from the first Captured, Carroteras is a Weeping Angel-style entity: it freezes while your flashlight is on it, and rushes you the instant you look away. The safe play is to lure it into a larger room, keep the beam locked on it, circle around, and close the door. It'll break out after a couple of minutes, but that buys you enough time to check the other rooms — and you can simply lock it in another room afterwards.

Jestie

Jestie is fast and can copy herself, so standing your ground is hopeless. If you see her, put distance between you, dash into a room, slam the door if you can, and hide. Turning your flashlight off isn't strictly required, but it's a sensible extra precaution.

Captured 2 anomalies: how the list works

Below are the anomalies organised by room, each with the category you must select. A few important notes before you dive in:

Anomalies are partly randomised. Any given loop pulls from this pool — you won't see them all at once, and you won't see them in a fixed order. Treat this as a checklist of what's possible, not a script.
Check every room, every loop. Some anomalies only trigger when you're close by — the toy firetruck in the small bedroom is a classic example.
Deformed rooms can trap you the first time. The first time you hit one, it may lock you in and force you to walk the whole path (e.g. all the way through a Backrooms-style maze). Follow it to the end; on later runs it behaves normally.
The rooms change by day. Because the three days sit in different years, the dressing differs — for instance, the small bedroom has a tent in the corner on Day 2 and an easel on Day 3. The master bedroom and an extra branch of the hallway only unlock on Day 3.
The final 10 anomalies are mode-locked. The list below covers Story, Normal and Hard. The last ten of the game's 100 anomalies only appear in Insanity or Nightmare mode.

Tips for clearing a day cleanly

Sweep in a fixed order. Always check the rooms in the same sequence so a change jumps out at you — the human eye is far better at spotting “different from last loop” than “wrong in the absolute.”
Don't exit the living-room door until you're certain. Leaving with an unspotted anomaly fails the loop; there's no penalty for one more lap.
Learn the “normal” house. Most anomalies are objects moved, removed, multiplied or flipped — you can only catch those if you know where everything is supposed to be.
Mind the tricky categories. A glowing clock is Lighting, not Object; a switched-on lamp is Electronic, but a lamp under a sheet is Object. Read the change, then pick the label.
Survive first, search second. If a monster shows up mid-sweep, deal with it (duck the hallway, crouch for Walk-E, light up Carroteras, flee Jestie) before you go back to hunting anomalies.
Play quiet for Walk-E. It hears your microphone, so keep ambient noise down when it's active.
Follow deformed rooms to the end. The first time one appears it can lock you in — walk the maze/path all the way through rather than fighting it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I log an anomaly in Captured 2?

Raise the camera by zooming with the right mouse button, left-click the anomaly, and choose the matching category from the selector. Get the category right and the anomaly counter (bottom-left) ticks up; leave the living-room door with a full, correct counter to advance the day.

How many anomalies are there per loop?

You're never told — that's the central tension. A loop might contain none, one, or several, drawn at random from the room pool. The only safe approach is to check every room every loop and only leave through the living-room door once you're sure you've labelled everything.

What are the anomaly categories?

Seven: Object, Electronic, Lighting, Water, Wall Writing, Missing Room, and Deformed Room. Picking the wrong label counts as a miss, so match the type of change — a glowing object is Lighting, a switched-on device is Electronic, a vanished room is Missing Room, and a room turned into something else is Deformed Room.

How do I survive each monster?

Ring-a-Ding (toy telephone): step out of the hallway into any room or the closet — it can't follow. Walk-E (noise-hunter): crouch with Left CTRL, then lure it into a room and shut the door. Carroteras (Weeping Angel): keep your flashlight on it, walk it into a room and close the door. Jestie (fast, self-copying): break line of sight, dash into a room, slam the door and hide.

How many days are in Captured 2?

Three, each set in a different year, selectable from the menu as you unlock them. The dressing of the rooms changes between days, and both the master bedroom and an extra branch of the hallway only open up on Day 3. One mistake — a miss, a wrong category, or a death — restarts the current day.

Why can't I find some of the anomalies on this list?

Two reasons. First, anomalies are partly randomised, so any single playthrough only shows a subset. Second, the last 10 of the game's 100 anomalies are exclusive to Insanity and Nightmare mode — the lists above cover Story, Normal and Hard. If you spot one that isn't catalogued here, it's likely one of those higher-difficulty extras.

Is Captured 2 connected to the first Captured?

Yes — it's a direct sequel by Puck Redflix, and at least one monster, Carroteras, returns from the original. The core idea (spot anomalies in a looping home, avoid the entities) carries over, but the sequel expands the house, the monster roster and the anomaly pool.
