How it feels

A short, tense walk through a deserted subway station where you must catch eerie anomalies with your camera to find an escape.

What players say

Players praise the camera-based anomaly hunting as a fresh twist on the Exit 8 formula, with multiple endings and a soundtrack they love. Some find certain anomalies too subtle or the chases jarring, and a few report buggy photo detection or a grindy achievement hunt.
