Quick Links
Imagine yourself in a train carriage. Besides you, there is only one passenger in this carriage, who is not doing anything but dealing with his phone. You’re getting bored and decide to open the door to move to the next carriage and you find yourself in the same as the previous carriage, with the same passenger sitting in the same place.
Platform 8addresses this issue, but with one difference: as you progress through identical carriages, you encounter some anomalies. So, will you be able to escape? There’s no need to risk your journey; this guide contains the anomalies you may encounter and the endings of the game.
All Anomalies
The first thing to remember when encountering anomalies is to stay calm. You can run in the game, but it’s better toobserve your surroundings before running.You’ll realize when you need to run in a dangerous situation.
Also, some anomalies will disappear on their ownafter a certain amount of time. You won’t encounter the same anomalies constantly in the game. If you successfully overcome an anomaly, you won’t encounter it again. When you fail because of an anomaly, you may encounter it again.
If you have seen all anomalies in the game,you may encounter ones you have seen before.
