The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, observational walking experience that combines meticulous pattern recognition with subtle dread in a liminal underground space.

What players say

Players say The Exit 8 VR is essentially the same loop as the original game, with one new anomaly but otherwise identical anomalies. It is very short, often completed in under an hour, and some find it overpriced for the content. VR adds immersion and fear factor but causes motion sickness for some. Players are split on whether the VR version is an upgrade over the desktop original.
