The Anomaly-Spotting Walking Simulator with Over 500,000 DLs Makes it way to Switch
On April 17, 2024, PLAYISM announced the release of their newest game, The Exit 8, for the Nintendo Switch. The walking simulator, developed by KOTAKE CREATE, is a short but immersive experience that takes players on a journey through Japanese underground passageways, liminal spaces, and the mysterious “Backrooms.”
Based on the PC version, which has already achieved over 500,000 downloads worldwide, The Exit 8 offers a unique gameplay experience that has influenced the walking simulator genre and created a new subgenre. The game’s anomaly-spotting gameplay is both thrilling and challenging, making it a must-play for all gaming enthusiasts.
The Exit 8 follows the story of a trapped individual who finds themselves in an endless underground passageway, with the only way out being to reach “The Exit 8.” As players navigate through the game, they must carefully observe their surroundings to spot anomalies and avoid turning back. The game’s tagline, “Don’t overlook any anomalies,” sets the tone for the gameplay and emphasizes the importance of paying attention to detail.
One of the most unique aspects of The Exit 8 is its representation of liminal spaces, or in-between spaces that often go unnoticed in our daily lives. Inspired by Japanese underground passageways, the game’s environments are desolate and eerie, adding to the overall atmosphere and sense of isolation. The use of liminal spaces and the “Backrooms” concept adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the game, making it a captivating experience for players.
Aside from its gameplay and immersive environments, The Exit 8 also boasts multi-language support, including Japanese, English, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. This makes the game accessible to a wider audience, catering to players from different parts of the world.
