Overall, The Exit 8 is a cool experience that's worth trying for the low price, but not one I imagine going back to anytime soon. I wouldn’t call it scary, but there are definitely moments that made me feel uneasy. I think if the developer had really leaned into the horror and made something a bit closer to Hideo Kojima’s P.T, we could have had a modern classic here.

The Exit 8 is a short horror experience that feels more like an introduction to VR psychological horrors than anything else.

The Exit 8 is a unique blend of puzzle and psychological thriller. It’s not a long game at all, if you’re able to hold your nerve and act quickly you could complete it in 20 to 30 minutes. This is a game that does a great job of getting in your head, the fear of the unknown is just as unsettling as the abnormalities you’ll come across. For £3.99 on the Nintendo eShop this is a short but sweet engaging experience.
