10/10. Gaslit myself the entire time and forgot how to use the shift button to sprint every time because i was scared for literally no reason from every possible noise in the game.

This game made my head hurt severely. I've memorised every goddamn inch of that hallway, and I still somehow get it wrong. Also, the walking guy needs to just shave it all off, his bald spot was so bad I almost turned around thinking it was an anomaly. I actually found a secret shortcut to the exit in record time… Alt + F4. 10/10, would leave again.

When it comes to the liminality phenomenon there are two major genres on Steam: the backrooms and those games with anomalies. Exit 8 belongs to the latter. These software feature a relatively small playable area and our job is to simply pass it. We can find games taking place in hotel corridors, an office area, a small street or - as it is in this case - an underground passage. The concept is always the same: go through the area but only in case you haven't found anything unusual. The first couple of times we go through it are considered the tutorial: we have the opportunity to carefully observe everything in our path. There are lamps, posters on the walls, doors, an expatriate walking towards us and even the painting on the floor is important. Not to mention the cameras and the signs. In case we notice anything odd compared to the original state, we immediately need to turn back. Overall, we need to pass the underground passage 8 times (as in the title) but the final session must be without anomalies as we need to reach the staircase leading up to the surface. There are over 30 anomalies and following our first completion the game puts up a sign with the number. As we find new anomalies this will decrease. The 2nd achievement is tied to finding everything. Now, finding means actually noticing the anomaly and turning back. But what if we make a mistake? That we go through the passage where an anomaly is present? Then we start from the beginning. Just before entering the long corridor, a huge sign shows what level we are on and should we make a mistake we are back to zero. In certain cases failure to react in time can result in death. If you see something fast coming towards you, I suggest you immediately turn back and run. Due to the concept of liminality (that we are against such supernatural phenomena alone) this can be considered a horror game and some anomalies further justify this. In general, I find these games quite the niche on Steam and the only problem I have with them is that they are short. Still, I recommend this one as it is fun for an hour or so.

if youre too senstive to play spooky games (like me) but want a littly teeny tiny adrenaline and like to watch out for little details, this might be for you. its quite fun and it made me look out for every anomalie that exists in this game to get the achievement. for the current price i can not complain.

Pretty short, took about 45 minutes for me to complete. But that's just the right length - I was kept actively interested the entire time and it also didn't overstay its welcome by being needlessly convoluted. It's an original, creepy idea well worth the money.
