This leans more into jumpscares than Exit 8, so while I think this is good, my preference is for that more unsettling style rather than things appearing out of nowhere.

Scarier but not as fun as Exit 8, [PLAY EXIT 8 FIRST PLEASE] This is a sequel to that game as well. although this game is absolutely beautiful, even better then the last I think i wouldve prefered a simple not complex filter over it just to add to the vibe but i love these graphis. for Exit 8s its main strength was its creativity and puzzle focused gameplay. It relied almost entirely on psych horror to be terrifying (Im a wuss so i found it scary). This mixed with the need to be incredibly observant and make decisions every sequence, made it a very fun and interesting puzzle game, and horror game. Platform 8 takes away your need to be observant its more of a rail roaded adventure (Pun intended) you dont need to search for anomolys unless the game tells you too, In fact the game tells you to pretty much do everything you need to do, and blocks off your other decisions so you cant make a mistake. It feel like your watching yourself play the game more than playing it. Its still cool and unique and i await the next game from the creator(s?) They tried something a bit different and i dont think it worked out, however for the price its still defenitly worth it, and i hope they take what they learned from this project and add it to the next, as they do some really cool ideas here.

This game serves as a decent partner game/prequel to Exit 8, but in my opinion, Exit 8 is far superior. While Exit 8 has more of a puzzle/mystery/search vibe, this one feels a lot simpler. The anomalies in this game appear at predictable times, so there's no real need to actively search for them. They're interesting but pretty obvious and easy to avoid, making the gameplay less engaging. In contrast, Exit 8 builds a lot of tension that makes you feel more isolated and on edge, something this game lacks. That said, it is still an immersive experience and comes at a low price, so I would recommend it if you're into this type of genre. However, if you can only pick one, I’d suggest choosing Exit 8 over this one for a more tense and challenging experience.

A great experience. Since Exit 8 i've become really fond of the "Anomaly Game" genre. Shinkansen from Chilla's Art, Route 8, and whatever the name of that one game from Itch.io is. All have been great experiences and I was curious how Platform 8 was going to live up to its predecessor. I am happy to find that there is a small-ish change that they implemented in P8 that shakes up the gameplay in a good way. Without spoiling too much, the goal now is learning how to DEAL with the Anomaly's as opposed to simply finding one. This change allows for the game to stand on its own without deviating TOO much from others in its genre. Good stuff and I really enjoyed this.

A fun escalation of the original "Exit 8" concept: you loop through a very detailed setting, on the lookout for "anomalies". Whereas the original game was more of a test of your observational skills, 'Platform 8' leans more towards a fun house/escape room experience. This is a very short but creepy and entertaining game. My currently logged 84 minutes includes four play-throughs (there's two different endings, and I did both twice, the second time being more of a speed-run), and a lot of gawking at all the various details in the car, and... elsewhere. Keep those expectations in check. PROS: - Gorgeously detailed subway car. The ads in the car, especially, are neat. The ambience is delightfully enveloping. - They've upped their creepy-factor from the first installment. - READ THE DIGITAL SIGNS. - Love how this slots into the first game's world. CONS: - Removal of the gameplay mechanic that requires you to judge if a loop actually contains an anomaly or not. While both games are generally easy, removing this element has made the game into more of a sight-seeing stroll than it should be. - The original game literally posts a sign on the wall when you've seen everything in the game; this one just keeps looping between the two modes. A notice of completion would have been nice. - While these bite-size morsels are certainly tasty, and maybe good for the size of the team working on them, they're over far too fast. I'd like to see something with a bit more meat on the bones, so to speak. A longer, more substantial experience that leans closer to the minimalist gameplay of "Exit 8", where observational skills are more critical to your advancement.
