The Exit 8 has finally made its way to Android, blending elements of mystery and suspense into a unique gaming experience. Developed by Kotake Create and published by Playism, this intriguing title is available for $3.99. It's not just another walking simulator; it's a journey that envelops you in an eerie atmosphere, challenging you to question 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 loop, the tiles, lights, posters, and even the solitary man walking towards you repeat endlessly. Your mission is to spot anomalies—subtle changes like a different poster graphic, flickering lights, or more obvious signs like a river of blood replacing the floor. The game's core mechanic revolves around noticing these changes and reacting swiftly.
If you detect something unusual, you must turn back. If not, continue moving forward. The ultimate goal is to reach the eighth exit without a single mistake. This means successfully spotting and reacting to eight anomalies in a row. 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 liminal spaces and the concept of the Backrooms, with settings modeled after real Japanese metro stations like Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station in Tokyo. The claustrophobic corridors and repetitive architecture create a palpable sense of unease. The Exit 8 engages you with your surroundings, urging you to scrutinize every detail for signs of danger or shifts in reality. This constant challenge to your memory and perception ensures that each playthrough feels unique and unsettling.
Originally released for PC in November 2023, The Exit 8 took Kotake Create about nine months to develop. It quickly amassed 1.4 million downloads worldwide on Steam. Now, with its mobile release, you can experience this captivating game directly from the Google Play Store.
