What players say

Players praise the anomaly-hunting formula, noting improvements in movement, graphics, and scares over earlier 8AM games. Some find the screen brightness uncomfortable, and others point out the lack of Chinese localization. The game is best played with headphones and focuses on spotting changes across 16 camera feeds over an eight-hour night shift.
