Well, here’s a turn. Instead of making a blockbuster game -based film like Mine Craft or Super Mario Bruce, someone has made a $ 4 walking simulator based on a $ 4 walking simulator that you can finish in about 25 minutes. And only based on the trailer, it looks much more loyal to the source content than most of the game adaptation.
Both the film and the game based on it are called Exit 8, and they both center around the base of the backroom. I Game Through the creation of Japanese developer Kotak, you are trying to get out of a Tokyo subway station corridor. There are some frame posters on your left, you have two doors to the right, and overhead fluorescent lights. Walk until the end of the transit, make a couple of turns, and you will find yourself again in the same transit.
But it’s not Enough One transit, mostly time. Some details of the transit have changed: one of the three gates may disappear, maybe the external mark is upside down, maybe the tile sample looks different. Or probably exactly Nothing Has changed
The rules posted on the tunnel wall are simple: if you see any change (the game calls them irregularities), then turn and walk back like the way you came. If you do not see any irregularities, continue forward. To avoid exit and tunnel, you have to choose the right eight times in a row. Choose the wrong, and you will start.
Exit 8 is a clean mixture of backrooms and spots, and it is extremely disturbing: some irregularities are totally strange, and by the way, you are not alone in this tunnel. There is a partner in which a briefing case is going through the same transit in the opposite direction that completely ignores you – at least most of the time.
It feels like a difficult game to make the film, but the director, whose camura has added some stories elements, including an unknown main character, including some life -changing news, before he was trapped in this strange looping tunnel. We also see a baby with him in a few trailer shots. In the game, you are alone except that with this stranger’s brief case.
The most difficult part of the game occurs when there is apparently no irregularities and you begin to invent something your own. “Were the tiles different? Did this poster last time? Is there anything closed about the light?” As a steam reviewer said: “Pay four dollars to get a gastrointestinal tract for an hour.” (This is a positive overview.) I am interested in seeing how self -doubt is in this movie.
Exit 8 (Film) is screening this month at the Festival De Ken and will be released in August. Exit is 8 (game) On steam. I have added the game trailer below, so you can compare it with the film trailer at the top of the page. They are both beautiful.
