Players are divided on this psychological horror game. Those who appreciate it praise the unique storytelling approach with fractured narratives, atmospheric presentation, and artistic style, particularly for how it explores trauma through a non-linear perspective. However, many find the gameplay tedious and boring, criticizing the lack of genuine horror elements, weak jumpscares, and a point-and-click format that feels dated, with some warning that the heavy-handed depictions of violence and period racism overshadow rather than enhance the narrative experience.
The story was unexpected different type of horror that had so many layers with each chapter. The graphics -- however, simple -- were great. The sound design and music, superb. Was not expecting to play this for 2 hours, but it was well spent. Definitely play your other games!
Works perfectly on Arch Linux. :D Enjoyed the game heavily! Amazing storytelling. "It was pretty freaking awesome, I like the theme of this developer's work!" - awesome person that definitely did not tell me to call them an awesome person [they're cool dw]
So boring. Don't waste of your time playing this game.
"-Graphic descriptions of violence -Strong references to period accurate racism" They aren't kidding, it's heavy handed af
I really enjoyed the broken storytelling and slowly revealing it piece by piece through a fractured mind. There were at times where I couldn't tell if it was a nightmare, hallucination, or a memory and I think that was the best approach for something so traumatizing. Despite the story being gruesome and disturbing, the scenery felt at times beautiful and calming which made everything as a whole feel even more tragic. 8/8/88 had great atmosphere building with the 360 degree point and click style with what I think was an overlay over the scenery to truly bring the imagery to life. Overall a 10/10 short psychological horror game.
Wild story and really cool art style.
