What players say

Players praise this anomaly-loop horror game as an improvement on the Exit 8 formula, with multiple floor levels and varied anomalies. Some find the basement monster section and chase sequences frustrating, while others applaud the creepy atmosphere and the challenge of the no-mistake achievement.
