Train of Thought
NOTE BEFORE PLAYING:
The first loop (indicated by train car numbers, e.g. 1->2->3) will never have an anomaly. Use the first loop to remember how everything should be.
For each of the 5 trains, anomalies may start appearing on any train car after the car number loops back to 1 the first time (e.g. 1->2->3->1)
Controls:
Arrow Keys
Esc (Settings)
Instructions:
You are stuck on a train that keeps looping around until an anomaly appears.
If you see an anomaly, get off the train.
Successfully board and leave 5 trains to win.

While not a huge fan of the "spot the anomaly" sub-genre of horror, I can safely say this one was very much to my liking. Loved the pixel-art style, the playtime didn't overstay its welcome, the anomalies, while sometimes predictable they were still spooky. All in all a great horror short! Cheers, mate!
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
For being made for a gamejam this was not a bad anomaly horror game at all! Definitely simple but I still quite liked the idea for sure. Loved the artstyle of this one. Made a video on it.
Fairly simple, but sometimes the anomolies weren't obvi0us enough (the symbol below the fire extuingishers, for example
this game was nice but it was hard for me personally. honestly it was easier guessing than trying to figure out what was wrong. It'd be really nice to be told what i had wrong! but either way the game was interesting.
See 'the exit 8'. This is literally a copy of that. (at least the idea)
I am once again asking people to understand what a "genre" is.
It was really cool game! Here is a Japanese gameplay:
Nice work! Simple, intuitive and fun. Liked how the difficulty was fairly forgiving to avoid the tedium of starting all over again. Strong art and audio. A solid gamejam submission.
This was quite an interesting little game! I played it twice to see different anomalies. I liked the pixilated art style. This was quite fun! Here is my gameplay, I hope you enjoy!
Underrated!
it was pretty easy but i liked it a lot! but i am a sucker for pixelart so im biased
Nope, I don't understand this game!
well when you see something different on the train you leave (not including the hand hold things at the top)
Nice game!
Fun game, really enjoy these type of anomaly games. Keep up the great work!
I like the eerie atmosphere, it reminded me Twilight Zone's vibes
<3
It was fun, well made and had some good spookiness to it Good job!
Hello, I played this game, and I enjoyed it! Good work :)
great game! a short thrill :D
Really enjoyed the pixel art and music!
Is this based off Platform 8?
Very nice feel to the game, it took me a bit to understand what counts as an anomaly and what does not, but I managed to finish it! Good job!
Love the vibes and pixel art
good
Very good art and game! Really like the style. I keep missing the anomalies haha!
thanks for playing! some are harder to spot than others!
Good game
thanks for playing!
