Summary
PT-Inspired horror titleThe Exit 8has suddenly been released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. While the popularity ofSilent Hillas a franchise has been rekindling thanks to the upcomingSilent Hill 2remake, fans who have been clamoring for an experience likePTcan now fulfill that wish on PlayStation consoles.
The Exit 8is a walking sim-style horror game that was released in late 2023 and managed to rise to fame due to a gameplay loop that worked well for content creators. InThe Exit 8,players must escape an underground passageway akin to a train station. WhereThe Exit 8draws parallels toPTis in this simple premise: walking through an endlessly looping hallway as things become more and more uncanny, just waiting for something to go horrifically wrong. The game is a relatively short experience, costing $3.99, and described by the developer Kotake Create as only taking around an hour to complete.
As reported by Push Square,The Exit 8has suddenly received a launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. This launch comes just a month after the official launch ofThe Exit 8 VR, which allows players to get up close and personal withthe various anomalies that can be found withinThe Exit 8. As well as a VR version, a sequel was recently released on Steam calledPlatform 8, which follows the same premise asThe Exit 8, with the key change being that Platform8appears to be set entirely within the train carriage itself. Currently, onlyThe Exit 8has been given a PlayStation release, but in the future, it will be unsurprising ifPlatform 8follows in its wake.
