Garten of Banban 8: Anti Devil is the eighth chapter of Euphoric Brothers' first-person mascot horror series.

About Garten of Banban 8: Anti Devil

Garten of Banban 8: Anti Devil is a first-person horror game by Euphoric Brothers. It came out on Steam and the Epic Games Store for Windows in August 2025, on iPhone and Android, and on 27 November 2025 on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, where Feardemic publishes it. It is the next chapter of the Garten of Banban series, set in and under Banban's Kindergarten, a children's establishment with whole levels hidden beneath it.

The store sets it up after the last chapter: your friends tricked you and are now either dead or against you, so you go on alone to uncover the truth behind the place and find your missing child. TheXboxHub's review describes the opening: you start locked in a prison beneath the kindergarten, break out with the help of Banban and Sir Dadadoo, and learn that Syringeon has taken over the city down there, with a bounty of ten lollipops on your head.

You play by walking through these places in first person and doing the tasks that open the way on: a remote that mixes colours comes back again and again, including in chase sections, and new creatures are introduced in boss encounters. The screenshots show dark clinic rooms with a scanner, foggy prison corridors guarded by long-limbed figures in caps, fires and propaganda posters reading "He sees, he hears, he watches, he knows".

The fear is mascot horror more than anything gory: the kindergarten's characters are big, smiling, brightly coloured figures, and down here they are the ones hunting you. It is milder than the name suggests. TheXboxHub found it largely without scares and its tasks repetitive, and gave it 2 of 5, while players on Steam, PlayStation and the phone stores rate it well.

It suits players who have followed the series and like the mascot horror of Poppy Playtime and Indigo Park. New players should begin with the first chapter, since this one carries the story straight on.

Keep going to uncover the truth behind the place and the whereabouts of your child.

Tips

Learn how the colour-mixing remote works early: it returns in later chase sections, where getting the colour right quickly matters.
A failed task usually just has to be tried again, so take your time with fiddly controls rather than rushing.
Read the signs, posters and character cards on the walls; the series tells much of its story through the place itself.
On PlayStation the PS4 and PS5 versions are sold as separate editions at the same price, so pick the one for your console.

Questions

Is Garten of Banban 8 a sequel?

Yes. It continues straight on from Garten of Banban 7 (with Garten of Banban 0 released between them as a prequel), so it makes most sense after the earlier chapters.

Windows PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store, iPhone and iPad, Android, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The console versions came out on 27 November 2025.

Is Garten of Banban 8 scary?

It is mild for a horror game. The threats are the kindergarten's cartoon mascots and new creatures who chase you in dark corridors, and ESRB rates it Teen for violence and blood. TheXboxHub found it nearly without scares.

How long is Garten of Banban 8?

There is no measured main-story time for it yet. Players who reviewed it on Steam recently had played a median of about four and a half hours, and TheXboxHub calls it a slightly longer chapter than the earlier ones.
