'The trailer will bring you a nightmarish movie theater experience, where you've entered an infinitely looping labyrinth,' and just like in the game, the trailer consists of footage of you walking through an underground passageway towards Exit 8.

In addition, four 'informative' messages are given in children's voices: 'Do not overlook any anomalies,' 'If you find an anomaly, turn back immediately,' 'If you do not find any anomalies, do not turn back,' and 'Go out from Exit 8.'

'Exit 8' is a walking simulator game released by indie game creator KOTAKE CREATE in November 2023. All you have to do is walk towards Exit 8 of a likely underground passage somewhere, but the passage is an infinite loop labyrinth, and you cannot get out unless you notice something unusual, which has been a big hit.

Regarding the film adaptation, KOTAKE CREATE released the following comment:

'Exit 8' is being made into a live-action movie!
I never imagined that the game would be released at the end of November 2023 and then a movie adaptation would be announced just a year later, so I'm full of surprise and gratitude.
When I heard about the movie, I wondered how they would turn a game that has no story into a movie, but I think it turned out to be an interesting movie without destroying the world view and atmosphere of 'Exit 8'!
I also had the opportunity to visit the filming location, and it was amazing to see the underground passage and the man right in front of me!
We hope you look forward to it!
I'm also really looking forward to the release!



Furthermore, because it's fun just to watch other people play, and because KOTAKE CREATE set guidelines that allow 'individuals and corporations alike to post and distribute videos without permission,' many people aimed to escape through Exit 8.

It seems that the fastest way to escape is within a minute.

From the trailer, we can see that the atmosphere is close to the original and that an old man will appear, but we are very curious to know what the content of the film will be.
