The Exit 8 has made its thrilling debut on Android, blending elements of a walking simulator with an eerie twist. Developed by Kotake Create and published by Playism, this game is available for just $3.99, offering a unique experience that challenges your perception at every turn.
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 loop, you'll encounter repeating tiles, lights, posters, and even a lone man walking towards you. The challenge lies in spotting anomalies—subtle changes like a different graphic on a poster, flickering lights, or even something as stark as a river of blood replacing the floor. The game's core mechanic revolves around noticing these changes and reacting quickly.
Your mission is to reach the eighth exit without errors. This means you must correctly identify and respond to eight consecutive anomalies. Miss one, 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. The claustrophobic corridors and repetitive architecture enhance the unsettling atmosphere. The Exit 8 actively engages you with your environment, pushing you to scrutinize every detail for signs of danger or reality shifts. This constant questioning of your memory and perception makes each playthrough uniquely tense.
Originally launched for PC in November 2023, The Exit 8 took about nine months to develop. It garnered an impressive 1.4 million downloads worldwide on Steam. Now available on mobile, you can download it from the Google Play Store and dive into its surreal world.
