【Deep Dive into a Distorted Social Media Feed】 "Wait, something is wrong here..." Familiar icons, typical posts. But look closer—a subtle "anomaly" is creeping into your timeline. One you must not ignore. "The 8 App (SNS Edition)" is an anomaly detection horror game set within a simulated social media app. Your mission is simple: Observe the feed meticulously and find your way out. ■ How to Play Observe the Feed: Check every detail—captions, images, icons, like counts, and notifications. Is everything as it should be? If you see NO anomaly, tap "Proceed": Move to the next level. If you see an ANOMALY, tap "Return": If something feels off, even slightly, turn back immediately. Reach Level 8: Correctly identify 8 levels in a row to find the exit and escape the loop. ■ Key Features Realistic SNS Interface: A sleek, modern design based on popular social media platforms with a polished Dark Mode. Psychological Horror: No cheap jump scares. Experience a growing sense of dread and "uncanny valley" discomfort. Immersive Experience: Interaction through tapping, scrolling, and even your device's physical orientation. Can you detect the truth hidden within the distorted timeline?

Create a Micro, evolve it in your lab, and spread its colonies as you walk. MicroField is a location-based game with a Japanese gameplay interface. Terms, privacy information and the age gate are available in English. MAKE YOUR MICRO Choose a name, shape, color and starting traits for a fictional digital organism. Its seeded cyber appearance and generated name modifier give your creation its own identity. WALK AND ESTABLISH COLONIES Visit nearby places and check in. Recorded walks earn game credits and materials, and can leave Micros along your route. Watch colonies spread as colored particles across the map. CHOOSE HOW IT EVOLVES Spend DNA and materials to improve spread, persistence and other traits. Compare changes in the lab before evolving. Select one shared trait: transmission, persistence or symbiosis. Each changes how your Micro spreads, how long it is carried or how much it affects its carrier. STUDY WHAT YOU ENCOUNTER In-game infections leave samples you can analyze by walking. Use care to recover and gain immunity, or carry a Micro to another place for a delivery reward. Samples remain available for research after recovery. PLAY SOLO, OR JOIN THE SHARED FIELD Environmental Micros and research tasks let you progress without nearby players. If you choose to join the shared field, Micros can travel between people who visit the same places at different times. Both players do not need to have the app open together. Relay totals appear in your records. START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Real-world play requires location permission. A separate demo lets you try a fictional city without it. Optional motion access can turn available device walking history into game resources when you next open the game. Always-on location permission is not required. For ages 13 and up; minors need permission from a parent or guardian. Players aged 18 or over may opt in to banner ads in Records after privacy checks. Ads are off by default and can be turned off in settings. There are no full-screen ad interruptions or rewards for watching ads. Infections, immunity, medicines, facilities and resources are fictional game mechanics. They do not describe real health, medical treatment or infection conditions. Stop somewhere safe before using the screen. Map display and sharing require an internet connection. Districts and facilities are fictional game markers; interact from a publicly accessible location within 180 meters. Initial version: guest play only, with progress stored on this device. Apple account linking, cloud saves and cross-device recovery are not available.
