About This Game

Welcome to Sunrise Coin Laundry. It’s 3:12 AM. The rain is pouring down outside. Inside, the only sounds are the fluorescent hum and the rhythmic tumble of Dryer #3. You’ve been waiting for this load to finish for three weeks. Something is terribly wrong, and it’s not just that the clock won't move forward.

CYCLE 8 is an atmospheric, first-person psychological horror anomaly hunt set in a single, unsettling location. You must navigate the familiar, U-shaped laundromat and scrutinize every detail. The loop is simple, yet demanding:

  • Observe: Take one full lap of the laundromat, memorizing the environment.

  • Document: If you spot an anomaly, use your camera to snap a picture of it and deposit the photo into the mailbox.

  • Escape: If you are certain the room is completely normal, simply leave.

  • Survive: You must make correct calls 8 times in a row to advance the clock to dawn (11:12 AM). One mistake resets the night.

The Anomalies are the Story

The changes in the laundromat are not random. In CYCLE 8, the environment itself is a manifestation of denial. As you cycle through the repeating night, the anomalies subtly reveal fragments of the memory you refuse to face. Every disruption—from a changing flyer to wet footprints—is a clue to reconstructing the events of three weeks ago.

Features

  • Over 80 Unique Anomalies: A randomized narrative deck ensures no two playthroughs are the same, offering massive replayability.

  • Story-Driven Loop: Experience a deep, personal story of grief told purely through environmental changes, subtle audio cues, and captured photographs.

  • Always Fair, Never Frustrating: Anomalies are designed to be detectable through careful observation, rewarding attention to detail over pixel-hunting.

  • Anomaly Journal: Track and catalog every photograph you capture across all runs, aiming for 100% completion.
