Containment

Containment puts you behind a classified facility terminal. Capture unstable specimens, assign limited cells, launch expeditions, invest research data, and execute Deep Containment protocols that preserve long-term directives while the facility starts over. The game runs directly on AFK Artifact in desktop and mobile browsers.

Free· Browser idle strategy game

Best for: Idle and incremental players, management-game fans, anomaly fiction readers, and supervisors with questionable safety records.

What it solves: Run a subterranean anomaly facility where research output rises, containment fails, and the paperwork survives everything.
