Exit 8 amps up its psychological horror with new anomalies
Publisher PLAYISM and KOTAKE CREATE studio have released a new update for the mobile and console versions of the psychological horror game Exit 8. The main feature of the patch is the expansion of the anomaly system — there are now significantly more of them, and they are now much more difficult to recognize at first glance. A similar update was previously released on Nintendo Switch and PC as part of the promotion for the film adaptation of Exit 8, released earlier this year.
The gameplay mechanics still rely on attentiveness and observation, but with the new patch, they have become less predictable. The main rule remains unchanged: if a player notices an anomaly, they must immediately turn around and go in the opposite direction. If the surrounding area appears "normal," turning back is strictly forbidden. Any mistake and the exit will be lost.
The plot of Exit 8 unfolds in an endless underground subway passage, where the player finds themselves trapped without explanation or clues. To escape, the player must carefully examine the details of the environment: signs, posters, doors, reflections, and the faces of passersby. Anomalies can manifest themselves in both obvious distortions and subtle changes — from missing interior elements to disturbing visual inconsistencies.
The update has significantly increased the psychological tension. According to player feedback, the anomalies have become more sophisticated, and some of them directly reference events and images from the film. This complicates familiar scenarios and makes you question even areas that previously seemed safe.
Exit 8 remains a compact yet intense horror experience in the walking simulator format, where the fear is built not on jump scares, but on a sense of unease, repetitive routes, and constant doubt about the reality of what is happening.
