About the Game


The Exit 8 is a short but sweet walking simulator inspired by Japanese underground passageways, liminal spaces, and the Backrooms.


The game has sold over 2 million copies worldwide, and its anomaly-spotting gameplay has influenced the genre significantly, effectively creating a new subgenre.


Don't overlook any anomalies.
If you find anomalies, turn back immediately.
If you don't find anomalies, do not turn back.
To go out from Exit 8.


You are trapped in an endless underground passageway.
