More Than 8 People thrusts players into Mizuki’s desperate journey through a notorious train’s predator-filled cars. After boarding the wrong line, evade escalating dangers using stealth, environmental traps, and quick decisions. Balance survival with empathy in a story where every choice impacts your escape—or descent into chaos.
Survival Mechanics & Strategy
Adaptive Stealth Systems
1. Crowd Mimicry: Blending into passenger groups reduces suspicion, but lingering too long risks attracting targeted attention.
2. Distraction Tools: Use items like ringing phones or spilled drinks to divert threats, temporarily clearing paths between cars.
3. Dynamic Threat AI: Predators adapt tactics—some feign ignorance to lure complacency, others escalate aggression if challenged.
Environmental Storytelling & Hazards
Train Car Archetypes
1. Car 0’s Anarchy: Navigate this lawless zone with flickering lights and obscured sightlines, where threats swarm unpredictably.
2. Mid-Train Deceptions: Cars 3-7 feature false safe zones—a quiet seatmate might be a scout, or a locked restroom hides escape tools.
3. Car 8’s Paradox: The women-only sanctuary demands proof of identity; lose your ticket or reveal too much, and trust dissolves.
Narrative Tension & Replayability
Identity and Morality
1. Disguise Systems: Steal accessories or clothing to alter perceived identity, trading morality points for temporary safety.
2. Empathy Choices: Aid vulnerable passengers to gain allies, but overcommit and risk becoming a target yourself.
3. Branching Endings: Escape routes vary—slip away unseen, rally survivors to fight back, or become a manipulative puppetmaster.
Visual & Psychological Design
Claustrophobic Immersion
1. Perspective Shifts: Switch between first-person tension during close encounters and top-down maps for route planning.
2. Soundtrack Dissonance: Soothing train hums fracture into discordant strings as threats near, syncing with heartbeat-based UI pulses.
3. Time-Pressure Lighting: Fading daylight through windows accelerates urgency—nightfall brings heightened aggression and reduced visibility.
