In the past few years, if anyone who likes playing strange, creepy, and horror indie games or follows game casters who pick up games to play, they must definitely know the haunted subway game Exit No. 8, The Exit 8. Because of the uniqueness of the game that looks simple and doesn't require much control, just walk and look at things around you and run on the endless looping corridor. But in The Exit 8, there will be an ending. If we are observant and watch, we will be able to finish the game. But before you finish the game, you will have to encounter many hauntings that are not the kind that fool you, tung chae, tung chae, tung tung, tung chae (not a lion dance), but the haunting that is stuck in your mind, like turning around and seeing something until you flinch. And because the hauntings are simple but interesting, The Exit 8 game has been announced to be made into a movie.
For those who don’t know about the haunted subway game Exit 8, this game will let us play as ourselves who have a miserable life. Our boyfriend and best friend left us, our boss scolded us for being late for work, we lost a game, we opened a gacha and got salt, we bought instant noodles but there were no seasonings, we forgot to wear underwear to work, and we hung our clothes to dry on a rainy day in a room with no windows. When you come back to your room to rest on your regular subway trip, you will encounter some strange and goosebumps along with a warning that if you see anything strange, turn around immediately and don’t walk any further. However, if everything is normal, keep walking and don’t look back. That’s what we know in this game. What we should do is walk and look at things around us, which will be the subway path that will loop around endlessly. Will we be able to escape the hell loop and find our shitty life again? Let’s try playing.
The fun and goodness of this game is the spookiness that the game puts in, whether it's walking with a power outage and a strange sound coming out. When we encounter this, all we have to do is turn around and put the dog in gear and run until the end of the path. Because if we make a mistake and continue walking, the game will end immediately and we have to start over at exit number 0. But if we can answer correctly 8 times in a row (meaning turn back and not continue walking when we encounter something unusual), the game will end and we will be able to leave here safely. (The story we told actually doesn't exist in the game, the author made it up.) With such simple but extremely spooky elements, the film production team bought the rights to make it under the same name.
The game developer, Kotake, also shared his joy with fans, saying, "When I announced the game in November 2023, I had no idea that a year later, this game would be made into a movie. I was surprised and grateful. When I first heard about the game being made into a movie, I wondered how a game with no story could be made into a movie. But I think it would be an interesting movie that retains the worldview and atmosphere of The Exit 8." The game developer also visited the set, and he was pleased to see the game being remade in real life. "I hope you all look forward to this movie! I'm also looking forward to seeing the movie!"
According to the information, The Exit 8 movie is scheduled to be released in Japan in 2025 and there is no release date for overseas yet. We will have to wait and see how it will look. For those who are interested in playing this strange and scary game, The Exit 8 game is available for sale on both PC and every console on the market except mobile phones. Anyone who is interested can go play and get scared. Then you will know why this game was made into a movie.
