Shinkansen 0: All normal car anomalies

Just like Exit 8, Shinkansen 0‘s anomalies appear in no apparent order. Instead of tracking how many anomalies are left by hand, click on the green phone box in the anomaly-free zone to tell you how many anomalies are left.

You will know when you have all anomalies as an achievement pops up for fully completing the normal and green cars. There are 50 anomalies in Shinkansen 0, 25 in either car. Car seven will never have an anomaly the first time you enter.

Here are all normal car anomalies:

AnomalyRarityDescription
Closed windowsCommonAll car windows are slowly closing, so you cannot see your reflection through them.
Flooded carRareA window will break with water flooding through it. The car will slowly fill with water until you exit.
Chair textureRarePattern of the chair switches from white lines to black.
DoppelgangerRareProtagonist doppelganger that only appears through the train window reflections.
Standing suited manRareEmpty car with suited man standing up and Naoki’s sister sitting down.
Visible exteriorUncommonGrid-panelled tunnel is visible outside each window as opposed to the blacked-out
Human suitcaseRareSuitcase above Naoki’s sister transformed into a folded human.
Wrong car numberUncommonThe second car number on the floor is incorrect. Make sure to check what car you are in on the first display (when you enter the car) as this is always correct.
Hand windowUncommonHands covering the window edge.
Reclined chairsUncommonAll chairs are slightly reclined. Check if there’s a space behind the sleeping suited man.

Chair eyesCommonThe top of the chair transforms into eyeballs.
Faces in chairsUncommonFaces appear in the head rest section on every chair.

Opening doorUncommonDoor opens when you’re halfway into the car and closes when you get close.
Layout and foodCommonLayout of the chairs completely change with food packages appearing everywhere.

Shinkansen 0: All green car anomalies

Shinkansen 0 anomalies are split into two cars; the normal and green. You need to pass through both of these to get the endings. Upon reaching car zero for the first time, you are thrown into the second set, which are far more terrifying than the last. You only need to make it through 14 train cars to reach the end.

Here are all green car anomalies:

AnomalyRarityDescription
Smiling woman reflectionUncommonWomen on laptop has her reflection twisted and smiling directly at the protagonist.
LaptopCommonWoman’s laptop shows player point of view.
Nature carGuaranteedThis one took me a good minute to find. The green-eyed man rotates his head 360 degrees to follow your movement. It can be hard to pinpoint this anomaly as his hair covers his face. Look out for his piercing green eye once you enter the car.
Food trolleyUncommonBuns swapped out with red food on the trolley.
Hand lightCommonHand covering the only functioning light on the chair near the man with a green eye.
Ticket collectorRareGo to the correct aisle as announced in the overhead display. Wait until the collector passes and exits the car to go forward and submit as an anomaly.
Moving doorRareAs you approach the door it will lift up by two black gloved hands and chase you down the aisles. Go into an aisle to avoid it.
