Synopsis

Adapted from an indie game, “Exit 8” is set in a subway station, where players are trapped in an endlessly looping underground passage. As they navigate toward Exit 8, they must confront various unsettling “anomalies” that evoke a sense of fear. Developed independently by KOTAKE CREATE, the game became an unprecedented hit, surpassing 1.5 million downloads worldwide.

The film’s story incorporates an on-screen “guidance” message: “Do not overlook any anomalies. If you notice something unusual, turn back immediately. If you see nothing out of the ordinary, do not turn back. Exit through Gate 8.”

Ninomiya Kazunari takes on the first nameless protagonist of his acting career. He also reunites with Kouchi Yamato, who plays the suit-clad “Walking Man”, marking their second collaboration after TBS’s Sunday drama VIVANT.
