If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on. Then leave from Exit 8. But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape this infinite corridor?

An unsettling maze navigated with finesse by director Genki Kawamura, Exit 8 is a video game adaptation rendered with existential dread and stylistic sophistication.

Exit 8 delivers a faithfully apt adaptation that’s inventive, anxiety-inducing, and unsettlingly immersive.
