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.
Netto’s Game Room: by Benjamin Bell
The Exit 8 and The Exit 8 VR is a short experience. You can finish it in 10 to 15 minutes I'm sure, or you can be like me and spend over an hour in there. There isn't much to the game, but it is an interesting experience that tests your powers of observation. I can't compare it to other walking simulators as there isn't anything else quite like it, but those looking for a short puzzle will most likely enjoy it.
WayTooManyGames: 7.5 / 10 by Oliver Shellding
It’s a clever little title, handles well on the Switch and comes in at the same price as a Happy Meal. While it won’t blow away critics at the end of the year, The Exit 8 is memorable and serves as a good proof of concept, like how P.T. once captivated players across the world with unspeakable dread.
