The Exit... 9?

[DZAladan]

OK, this post is sorta off-topic, but I encountered this... let's call it "anomaly".

Just yesterday, this game came back to my mind and decided to go buy it. However, I didn't remember the exact number for the title, so I tried searching "Exit 9"... and this store page from the PS Store popped out.

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10010148

Judging by the URL, it seems... a concept page for an upcoming... "The Exit 9"?

The developer is a very generic "Gaming Dev SRL" (SRL is the Italian equivalent of an LLC) instead of KOTAKE CREATE.

Is the Dev involved in it or is it just a very blatant ripoff?

Definitely a ripoff

The creator says: "Nine is not mine."

Great game always magnet nasty followers (i.e Similar games).
Some good, some bad, some bad as ugly.
You can find few similar games in Steam too.

At least developer allowed to make "Exit 8"-ish game so there is no legal problems, though sometimes these "game" are actually malware and not game.
Be careful, and don't overlook anomalies (nasty games always have abnormal signs in somewhere, like screenshots, descriptions, etc).

Honestly some devs have no shame, clearly trying to make it look like it's the same devs. I would never support that kind of business practice

I wish they'd at least not use numbers for their titles and make it so obvious.

Maybe that is their form of tribute to the original from where they got the idea from?

When I traced that person's art and made minor changes to it, it was just triiiiiiibute! Just tribute, I'm not stealing
