In a Hyakumantenbara Salome stream of Platform 8, the Nijisanji Vtuber stumbled across a bug that the creator of the game didn’t notice. The game has now been updated to fix the error.

The bug in question appears near the end of Salome’s playthrough of Platform 8. Even though there weren’t any anomalies, the screen suddenly shook and it counted as a game over. Kotake Create apologized for the bug, as well as stated that Salome’s stream helped them figure out what the issue was. Many viewers and commenters who saw Kotake Create’s tweet joked that Salome is a debugger and that they aren’t surprised she was so lucky to stumble upon a real anomaly.

Here's the Hyakumantenbara Salome Platform 8 stream where the Nijisanji Vtuber encountered the bug.

Hyakumantenbara Salome is a VTuber with Nijisanji. She debuted alone in 2022 and got over a million subscribers within two weeks. This made her the fastest VTuber from Nijisanji to reach a million subscribers. She’s popular for her ojou-sama bit and tends to pepper her speech with stereotypical “ojou-sama” speech patterns such as ending her sentences with “desu wa.”

Platform 8 is the sequel of The Exit 8 in which players must navigate a train and search for anomalies. The goal is to get to the titular Platform 8. As the anomalies range from the mundane to the horrifying, the game technically counts as a sort of psychological horror. In Salome’s stream, we can see some of these anomalies, such as one where she has to play red light green light against a girl.

Platform 8 is readily available on the Windows PC.

The creator of the The Exit 8 and Platform 8 series of games stated that they’re done with making games like it. They plan on releasing an action game after Strange Shadow comes out in 2025.

Kotake Create, the developer and publisher of The Exit 8 and Platform 8, said on social media that they started the series because they really like the underground subway. However, they’re satisfied now, so they don’t plan on releasing any more games within that universe.

The Exit 8 and Platform 8 both were popularity due to the prevalence of streamers playing them. Their gameplay loop is the same. You play as someone who’s trapped inside of an endless train or underground ageway. In order to escape, you must observe your surroundings and look out for anomalies. It’s kind of like Where’s Waldo, but with a somewhat more unsettling aesthetic due to the nature of some of said anomalies.

In Kotake Create’s announcement tweet, he QRT-ed a tweet he made in May 2024 about what kinds of games they want. According to that post, they want to make games like Inside, Little Nightmares, Sekiro, Katana Zero, Titan Souls, and The Last Guardian. Strange Shadow looks like it might have taken some inspiration from the first two. You play as someone in bright yellow who’s trying to hide and escape from a scary giant monster. According to the tags on Steam, it’s an action-adventure 3D puzzle platformer with psychological horror elements.

The Exit 8 is on Windows PCs and the Nintendo Switch. Platform 8 is on the Windows PC only. Strange Shadow will come out in 2025 for the WIndows PC.
