[May 19, 2026] – CODE EXIT will launch its first-ever playable demo later today on Steam and Epic Games Store, giving players their first hands-on look at the tactical co-op survival horror experience. Team up with up to three other players to investigate abandoned facilities, complete dangerous objectives, and escape the fallen city of Pantheon while being hunted by Minerva, a relentless pursuer that evolves based on your actions.
CODE EXIT is a 1–4 player sci-fi co-op survival horror game where players take on the role of investigators sent into a city overrun by the rogue AI Minerva. As players explore dark, isolated facilities, Minerva observes their behavior in real time, adapting its tactics and turning every mission into a tense fight for survival. Restore systems, recover hidden data, and work together to uncover the truth behind the collapse of Pantheon before Minerva closes in.
Key Features of CODE EXIT:
-
Solo to Four Player Tactical Co op - Choose to face the nightmare alone or team up with up to three friends. The game scales its intensity based on your group size. Success depends on real-time communication and strategic coordination to stay one step ahead of the chaser.
-
Adaptive Chaser Minerva - Experience a chaser that does not follow a script. Minerva observes your habits and remembers your favorite hiding spots. If you continuously repeat the same behavior, the chaser will adapt and change its hunting pattern to catch you.
-
Dynamic Escape Missions - Every playthrough offers a different mission to the exit. You must complete a series of randomized and stage-specific objectives while navigating a high-pressure environment. No two sessions feel the same, as the missions and threats constantly evolve.
-
Persistent Pressure and Dread - Forget simple jump scares. CODE EXIT focuses on a suffocating atmosphere where the chaser is always learning and getting smarter. The tension builds every minute, making each successful escape a true achievement.
Wishlist CODE EXIT on Steam and jump into the first-ever demo later today at 6:00pm PT / 9:00pm ET. Want to stay up to date on everything happening in Pantheon? Join the official Discord server and follow the game on X and YouTube for the latest updates, trailers, and more.
