The horror escape game “Exit 8” (Exit 8) developed by Japanese developer “KOTAKE CREATE” has received favorable response after being released on Steam. Firstly, the RTA community continues to find new ways to achieve SpeedRun. After customs clearance, secondly, the design of the underground passage in this game reminds many Japanese of “Kyosumi Shirakawa Station” (Kyosumi Shirakawa Station).

However, not long after the game was released, the Japanese RTA community found a loophole. Simply put, it is the short passage before entering the corner of the long corridor. You can observe the triggering mechanism of the infinite corridor, and then make an instant judgment and turn back.
Because of the bug, this allowed RTA players to challenge the SpeedRunThe time limit was reduced to less than 1 minute to pass the level.basically a run that turns back instantly the whole way.
Although the developer KOTAKE installed the 1.0.1 update yesterday (3rd) to fix the vulnerability, the SpeedRun challenge for the 1.0.1 version is still continuing. Although it is not as long as the 1.0.0 version, the new method is to run horizontally “Crab Walk”, turn around immediately when you see the passage, and you can still reach Exit 8 in more than 1 minute.
Another topic that has aroused heated discussion among Japanese players is “Kyosumi Shirakawa Station”. There is a strange phenomenon in “Exit 8” where the fluorescent tubes in the passage will become a messy configuration. This scene evokes the psychological memories of many Japanese players.
Because the scene design of “Exit 8” itself is the configuration of a Japanese railway underground tunnel, and the passage of “Kyosumi Shirakawa Station” in Koto-ku, Tokyo has a corridor design with randomly placed fluorescent lights, which has been mentioned by Japanese media in the past.report。
