Subscribe to our newsletter Exit 8 director Genki Kawamura says he wanted the upcoming horror film to blur the lines between movie and video game."So when this game came out, people were playing the game on streaming," Kawamura explains to GamesRadar+.

"I was very impressed with the overall game design.

But I also watched a lot of different streamers.

And because the game is so simple, it served as this backdrop, and there were as many stories in there as there were players and videos on stream.

So I thought that this game almost served as a device to explore something much more human."The Exit 8 is a 3D walking simulator where the player is stuck in a loop inside the Japanese metro and has to pass through several corridors in order to reach the final exit.

It functions a little bit like a spot-the-difference game where the player must identify anomalies in each corridor: if there are none, the player can proceed toward the next exit.

If there is one, the player must walk back the way they came.. ## Editor's Note What do you think about this news? Share your thoughts below!
