What a rip off.

How old are you people to hype such a shallow game? It's literally a running simulator, you keep running, if there's an anomaly you turn around, you do that until you find the stairs. There is no real danger, no challenge, no gameplay. Is this really what you call horror done right? I've played some free games on itch.io that had more substance than this. What the hell. It's the first time in my life I ever request a refund for a $5 game.

this game might not be for you and it's allright. Why are you pointing at people enjoying this? You're the one that shouldn't be here if you dislike the game.

For some people the game is great. The strengths of such games are atmosphere, mystery and some sort of creepiness. Much less "shallow" creepiness than usual. Yes, there's no zombies, no jumpscares, no monsters chasing you. Everything is almost normal. Almost. Kind of "uncanny valley" effect.

Bruh I was looking through discussions, and I've gotta ask. You did read the description right? It literally has a tag called "Walking Simulator". Are people this dumb or do you not have any friends in person to rant about this?. It's the first thing I saw when I visited the store page like.. There's no trick or gimmick, it's all on the store page. I personally hope you don't breed and spread even more stupidity than the world already has to offer.

Edit: Here's the part of what I've read to even know the full lore of this game. The game is literally $5. O.o

"The Exit 8 is a short walking simulator inspired by Japanese underground passageways, liminal spaces and back rooms."

So you finished a game and then requested a refund? That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

It is "horror done right" because it achieves a creepy atmosphere through liminal spaces and a mounting sense of dread with repeating hallways, akin to PT. It preys on a primal fear of things seeming normal but something is every so slightly off, aka the Uncanny Valley.

It is brilliantly minimalistic because the gameplay is incredibly simple. So simple that it doesn't even need instructions (which a lot of games could benefit from). But it is still quite challenging because it requires you to find the anomalies which can be very subtle.

Also there IS danger because several anomalies will try to kill you.
