About 8AM

✦ AI summary

8AM puts you in a locked room monitoring security cameras of a mysterious house, tasked with determining whether the increasingly strange events unfolding after midnight are supernatural or explainable as the clock ticks toward 8:00 a.m. Your sole tool is judgment itself, forcing you to grapple with impossible choices where there are no clear answers and each decision could be equally right or wrong.


"8AM" plunges the player into an enigmatic and tense game of observation and decision under an unfathomable veil of mystery. In this game, you find yourself in a stark room, devoid of any memory or knowledge of your purpose or how you arrived there. The only companions in your solitary vigil are a set of devices and a computer, your window to the outside world, connecting you exclusively to the security camera system of a seemingly ordinary house. The house is inhabited by a family whose life appears to proceed normally until the clock strikes midnight. From that moment, as the hours slip towards dawn, you become a witness to a series of events that could be classified as ordinary or deeply disturbing. The nature of these occurrences varies widely, from ghostly figures slipping through the corridors in the darkness, manifestations of paranormal activity that defy all logic, to the strange behaviors of the family members, like sleepwalking, which could hide something more sinister.

Your task is simple yet immensely complicated: to determine whether what you are witnessing is a manifestation of the supernatural or mere coincidences and everyday events interpreted through a prism of isolation and tension. There are no clear answers, nor are you provided with tools to investigate or influence events. Your judgment is your only guide in this dark task.

Every correct decision you make brings you one step closer to your final goal: reaching 8:00 a.m. and, with it, your liberation. But what does "correct" truly mean in a world where reality intertwines with the incomprehensible? There are no truths to unravel, only the growing anxiety that each choice could be as right as it is wrong.

"8AM" is a challenge to perception, a game that forces you to question reality and face the uncertainty of the night. With each passing night and every decision you make, you not only draw closer to liberation but also delve deeper into the mystery of the human condition and the nature of reality itself. This game not only challenges you to observe but also to reflect on what it means to be a spectator of the lives of others, isolated yet intimately linked to their fate.

✦ AI summary

This surveillance-based horror game tasks players with spotting anomalies on security cameras through the night, offering a large number of anomalies to detect and competent visuals with no time pressure during gameplay. However, players frequently criticize the core "spot the difference" mechanics as monotonous and boring, with limited creative variety among the anomalies and slow, unrewarding gameplay that becomes tedious when pursuing 100% completion, with some finding the price unjustified for the experience offered.

Even if I got this for free, this was a waste of time to play. The game puts you into a dark room with a bunch of stuff on a desk, but the only thing you actually need to use is one of the computers. You have to look through screens and basically play spot the difference, with the first time you look being the clean version. Then, each hour there might be a change/anomaly and you must guess right until 8AM (omg name drop). These kinds of games are very repetitive, and the thing that makes these games appealing are the fear factor. This game does not nail that. The environment is a basic house, and you're also staring through a computer in a black room so the immersion is already pretty low. When I played, I beat it first try because the anomalies were just slight differences. Pretty sure there are some other kinds but I never got to see them because you can finish this game within 15 minutes. There isn't a story or reason for doing any of this, and so the ending feels like clocking out from a 9-5, except you don't get to go home and relax and instead you sit in disappointment. I decided to see how 100% would work, and you basically just hit yes until you get all anomalies. Th…

Got this for free and thought it was ok just didn't really have much to it. Then I found out that it was paid for and was shocked that such a tiny game which I beat in 10 minutes would have a £3.50 price tag attached to it. Even if you do like this style of gameplay I definitely wouldn't recommend it just by the price alone.

No story, no conesequences or rewards for doing anything. No real point to the game at all, just seems to be an endless cycle of boring camera feeds that sometimes have some ghosts or a dead person. It was a good concept that seems to be very poorly executed

Dime a dozen spot-the-anomaly game and a pretty boring one at that. You sit in a dark room, flipping through cameras on a pc. You exit the view only to mark off whether you saw something weird or not and (if you have this option on) get jumpscared by a model of an old dead lady. The "events" are obvious, not super interesting and most definitely not scary, at least to the extent that I've seen. I, played through the game 2 times, got 8/160ish of those anomalies and absolutely nothing compells me to see what the other 152+ are about. (This alone should tell you something, since that's basically the objective of the game.) This game is a nothingburger, plain and simple. Don't get it unless it's free.

Overall: 6/10 I loved the aspect of watching for events through the camera but it lost points on the crappy jump scares and a lack of story! Would love to have seen a continuity through the events that you see from each night. It kinda takes the fun away to see that Dad has killed/eaten the child only for them to respawn the next night. Good things done: - Loved the small noises that you hear both in world and in camera that doesn't have a physical presence. Puts you on edge. - I liked the different viewpoints of the camera. Really added a feel of knowing the house - I liked the appearance and disappearance of characters. Even if they were hard to find- it gave the game a sense of purpose - I enjoyed the nights restarting if you missed an event Things to improve: - A story or series of events that could make each night more impactful rather than "oh what happened? next." - A more satisfying ending than just leaving. Maybe seeing the characters leave the house? Die? You need to answer some questions of the events? Catalogue the events example: Murder, Paranormal activity, Kidnapping, etc. - Having characters/ghosts that turn off or break the cameras would be a great way to feel…
