Stumbled across this walking simulator by accident and wow - didn't expect to get so creeped out. Exit 8 throws you into some endless subway station where nothing's quite right. You're just walking through these underground tunnels, but something's always off. The atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife.
Released on 01.01.2023 and got a major update on 08.07.2025, this thing has been polished into a proper psychological nightmare. Trust me, it's not your typical horror game - it gets under your skin in a different way.
Pretty straightforward on the surface - you walk through subway corridors and watch for weird stuff. When something looks wrong, you gotta turn around immediately and backtrack. Sounds simple? Yeah, that's what I thought too. The trick is spotting what's actually an anomaly versus just paranoia messing with your brain.
DarkPlay really knows how to craft atmospheric horror experiences. They've got this talent for creating games that stick with you long after you stop playing. Their approach to psychological tension over cheap thrills shows real understanding of what makes horror effective.
Depends on how observant you are. Some people figure it out in 20 minutes, others wander for hours. The point isn't really "beating" it anyway.
Not jump-scare scary, but it gets in your head. The kind of creepy that makes you keep looking over your shoulder in real subway stations.
Yeah, works on both iOS and Android. Better in landscape mode though - gives you that proper tunnel vision feel.
You're trying to escape the loop by spotting anomalies. But honestly? Sometimes the journey is more interesting than the destination.
If Exit 8 got under your skin, definitely check out Sprunki: Exit 8 for a different take on the concept. Exit 8 Subway expands the experience if you want more tunnel exploration. For something completely different but equally atmospheric, Scary Story (Isles of Mists) delivers that same psychological tension.
Seriously, give this one a shot if you're into games that mess with your perception. Fair warning though - you might find yourself paying way too much attention to details in real subway stations afterward.
