What is Exit 8 Like?
It all started with the developer’s post!
Exit 8 is also a game that replaces the abnormality reporting system of “I’m on Observation Duty” with a first-person perspective, allowing you to proceed or turn back.

I was asked what I thought about similar works by Exit 8, but I believe that new games are created by “new combinations of existing things,” so as a developer, I would like to say that unless they are in exactly the same location or system, It’s totally OK.
