NO.8 High School places players in a familiar classroom with one key difference—something changes every day, and your job is to catch it. The game spans 30 in-game days leading up to graduation, but progress isn’t guaranteed. You must observe your surroundings closely, identify strange anomalies as they appear, and accurately record them. If you’re right, time moves forward. If you’re wrong, the day resets. The experience becomes a loop of memory, attention, and subtle dread as the room around you begins to shift in unexpected ways.
At first, the changes are minor—an object disappears, a poster moves, a desk changes shape. But as the days pass, the anomalies become harder to catch and more unnatural. Sounds distort, faces blur, lights flicker in ways they shouldn’t. You begin to question what’s changing, and whether you’ve already seen it before. Each attempt adds pressure, especially as the reset mechanic forces you to relive earlier days if your observations are off. What starts as a test of focus slowly turns into a psychological maze disguised as a routine classroom.
With every restart, the game subtly reshuffles the environment. No two runs are exactly the same, keeping you alert and second-guessing even your strongest assumptions. There are 40 anomalies in total, and spotting them all is the only way to reach the final exam. The background noise, the layout, the sense of déjà vu—it all feeds into a slow build of tension that never quite breaks, only deepens. NO.8 High School turns everyday observation into a mechanical loop, challenging players to stay focused when everything around them starts to unravel.
