Release Date: November 29, 2023
An unusual FPP adventure game with some horror vibes, inspired by Japanesee underground passages. The Exit 8 has us travelling through a mysterious and seemingly non-ending corridor. The key of the game is to make our way to the exit while avoiding anomalies.
The Exit 8 is an adventure game in which players are forced to ignore anomalies in order to continue exploring. The game was created by the independent studio Kotake Create specializing in walking simulator games. It's been enriched with a layer of psychological puzzles and intrigues.
The game begins in the middle of a Japanese underground crossing with a glowing yellow sign towards exit number 8. The goal of the game is finding it. By moving around and observing signs, posters, and passing people, we are able to unravel the mysteries of this place.
In The Exit 8 we are traversing the tunnel of the underground passage and we're challenged with not noticing the anomalies in the surroundings. If an irregularity is noticed, we do not move forward, but go back to where we started the game.
The challenge is the number of anomalies - they can be everywhere we look. Succeeding in ignoring the anomalies will allow us to reach the exit number 8 and leave the passage.

Game Ratings for The Exit 8 Video Game.
Niche Gamer: 6 / 10 by Fingal Belmont
The Exit 8 is a unique and interesting experience, but not one of substance. The “hidden object” gameplay is very shallow and was designed to be picked up and played by anybody with eyes, thumbs, and index fingers. This is a novel and amusing distraction that works as intended and earns a few good chills when played in the dead of a silent night.

Made it to the end of the review and made it out alive? Then surely you’re intrigued enough to venture into the mysterious metro tunnels. Despite its minimalist nature, The Exit 8 VR is a surreal experience only enhanced thanks to the immersion provided through virtual reality. At just over an hour long, it’s a bite-sized experience that feels less like a videogame, and more like an interactive piece of art. If you’re a VR enthusiast and have a fascination for the disturbing, you’d be mad not to enter the Exit 8 VR.
Cubed3: 8 / 10
The Exit 8 is a simple game that manages to capture the feeling of paranoia and the uncanny valley in a way very few titles can. This is a short escape room adventure that will have the player combing every corner looking for anything out of the ordinary, and while it might sound painful, it's a quite incredible experience.
