The Exit 8 has made its way to Android, offering a unique blend of elements. Developed by Kotake Create and published by Playism, this intriguing title is available for $3.99. It’s a walking simulator with a twist, enveloped in an eerie atmosphere that challenges you with every step you take.
A Creepy Walking Adventure
In The Exit 8, you find yourself navigating an endless underground passageway reminiscent of a Japanese metro station. Trapped in a repetitive loop, you encounter the same tiles, lights, posters, and a solitary man walking towards you time and again. The core challenge lies in identifying anomalies—be it a poster with an altered graphic, flickering lights, or even something as stark as a river of blood replacing the floor. The game's mechanics revolve around your ability to notice these subtle changes and react swiftly.
If you spot something unusual, you must turn back. If not, you continue forward. The objective is to reach the eighth exit without making a mistake, which means correctly identifying and responding to eight consecutive anomalies. Fail, and you'll have to start over.
The Exit 8 Lets You Soak in a Surreal, Unsettling Atmosphere
The game's design draws inspiration from the concept of liminal spaces and the Backrooms, with settings modeled after real Japanese metro stations, such as Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station in Tokyo. This influence is evident in the claustrophobic corridors and repetitive architecture, creating an immersive experience. The Exit 8 actively engages you with your environment, urging you to scrutinize every detail for signs of danger or reality distortion. This constant questioning of your memory and perception ensures that each playthrough feels unique.
Originally released for PC in November 2023, The Exit 8 took Kotake Create about nine months to develop. Upon its release, it garnered 1.4 million downloads worldwide on Steam. Now available on mobile, you can download it from the Google Play Store.
