Platform 8

In Platform 8, players find themselves aboard a perpetually moving train, a setting that draws heavily from the mystique of Japanese subways and the concept of liminal spaces. This walking simulator challenges players to navigate the endless corridors and compartments of a train that harbors secrets and anomalies behind each door. With a playtime ranging from 15 to 60 minutes, the game offers a compact yet rich experience, where the seemingly mundane task of walking through a train becomes an exercise in vigilance and puzzle-solving. Players must keep their eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary, as each anomaly encountered could be the key to finding a way out of this relentless journey.

Mystery and Exploration in a Confined Space

Platform 8 leverages its unique setting to build tension and intrigue. As players move through the train, the game’s environment—inspired by the clean, almost sterile aesthetic of modern subways—contrasts sharply with the eerie sense of being trapped in a loop. The game does simulate a walk; it invites players to engage deeply with their surroundings, examining details and clues that could hint at a deeper narrative or provide solutions to the puzzles that stand between them and escape. This interaction with the game environment is about progression and about uncovering the layered stories that the seemingly endless train holds.
