How it feels

A short, tense walking simulator where you endlessly search a surreal train for anomalies, feeling trapped and uneasy.

What players say

Players say Platform 8 is a shorter, more interactive spin on Exit 8 that trades anomaly detection for survival and puzzle solving. Many find it less original and eerie, with simple most anomalies that require just holding forward, while a few appreciate the variety and horror atmosphere. The game is over in about an hour and players split on whether it improves or weakens the original formula.
