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.

Plot

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.

Mechanics

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.
