3D Walking Simulator with Liminal Spaces, The Exit 8, Lands on Android!

The Exit 8 has now launched on Android, offering a unique blend of elements for just $3.99. Developed by Kotake Create and published by Playism, this game is a walking simulator with a twist, enveloping players in an eerie atmosphere that challenges every step you take.

A Creepy Walking Adventure

In The Exit 8, players navigate through an endless underground passageway reminiscent of a Japanese metro station. You find yourself trapped in a loop where everything from the tiles and lights to the posters and the solitary man walking towards you repeats endlessly. The challenge lies in spotting anomalies—whether it's a poster with a different graphic, flickering lights, or even a river of blood replacing the floor. The game's core mechanic revolves around identifying these subtle changes and reacting quickly.

If you notice something odd, you must turn back. If you don't, continue moving forward. Your 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

Drawing inspiration from the concept of liminal spaces and the Backrooms, the game's setting mirrors real Japanese metro stations, such as Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station in Tokyo. This design choice creates a claustrophobic and repetitive environment that heightens the game's unsettling atmosphere.

The Exit 8 encourages active engagement with your surroundings, pushing players to scrutinize every detail for signs of danger or reality shifts. The way it challenges your memory and perception ensures that each playthrough feels unique.

Originally released for PC in November 2023 after about nine months of development, The Exit 8 saw an impressive 1.4 million downloads worldwide on Steam. Now available on mobile, you can download it from the Google Play Store.
