Shinkansen 0

In Shinkansen 0 or 新幹線 0号, you're tasked with finding anomalies in the Japanese bullet train (Shinkansen). This is a game in the style of The Exit 8, where you have to spot anomalies as you navigate the train cars with a few characters who give you advice here and there. Be warned — this post may not cover all anomalies! There are two endings, depending on your choices. Special thanks to YouTubers Jacksepticeye, Gab Smolders, & ManlyBadassHero for playing through this game, allowing us to pull a lot of this information from their videos.
