Instead of making a movie based on a blockbuster game like Minecraft or Super Mario Bros, someone made one based on a $4 walking simulator you can finish in about 25 minutes. And just based on the trailer, it looks a lot more faithful to the source material than most game adaptations.<\/p>\n<p>Both the film and the game it&#8217;s based on are called The Exit 8, and they both center around a sort of backrooms premise. In <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2653790\/The_Exit_8\/\">the game<\/a> by Japanese developer Kotake Create, you walk down a Tokyo subway station corridor trying to find the exit. On your left are some framed posters, on your right a couple of doors, and overhead are fluorescent lights. Walk to the end of the corridor, make a couple of turns, and you find yourself back in that same corridor again.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not <em>quite<\/em> the same corridor, most of the time. Some detail of the corridor has changed: maybe one of the three doors is missing, maybe the exit sign is inverted, maybe the pattern on the tile looks different. Or maybe absolutely <em>nothing <\/em>has changed.<\/p>\n<p>The rules posted on the wall of the tunnel are simple: if you notice a change (the game calls them anomalies), turn around and walk back the way you came. If you see no anomalies, continue forward. You have to choose correctly eight times in a row to reach the exit and escape the tunnel. Choose wrong, and you start over.<\/p>\n<p>The Exit 8 is a neat mix of the backrooms and spot-the-difference, and it&#8217;s extremely unsettling: some of the anomalies are downright creepy, and by the way, you&#8217;re not alone down there in that tunnel. There&#8217;s a fellow with a briefcase walking through the same corridor in the opposite direction who completely ignores you\u2014most of the time, at least.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a tricky game to make a movie about, but director Genki Kawamura has added some story elements, including the nameless main character getting a phone call with some life-changing news just before he finds himself stuck in this bizarre looping tunnel. We also see a child with him in a few of the shots from the trailer\u2014in the game, you&#8217;re alone except for that stranger with the briefcase.<\/p>\n<p>The hardest part of the game is when there are seemingly no anomalies and you start to invent some of your own. &#8220;Were the tiles different? Did that poster say that last time? Is something off about the lights?&#8221; As one Steam reviewer put it: &#8220;Pay four dollars to get gaslit for an hour.&#8221; (It&#8217;s a positive review.) I&#8217;m interested to see how much of that self-doubt the movie can emulate.<\/p>\n<p>The Exit 8 (the film) is screening at Festival de Cannes this month and will be released in August. The Exit 8 (the game) is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2653790\/The_Exit_8\/\">on Steam<\/a>. I&#8217;ve included the game trailer below, so you can compare it to the movie&#8217;s trailer at the top of the page. They&#8217;re both pretty freaky.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ns6ZgQKdshg\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2304ab1a-413d-46ae-bb4f-66dadc4a8e5c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:550px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"dmLfcTEceHMYUpsciYxiDT\" name=\"steam rpgs\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dont-worry-theyre-not-just-adapting-blockbusters-this-trippy-japanese-walking-simulator-you-can-get-for-4-on-steam-has-been-made-into-a-movie-too.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/steam-sale-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2304ab1a-413d-46ae-bb4f-66dadc4a8e5c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Steam sale dates<\/strong><\/a>: When&#8217;s the next event?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/epic-games-store-free-games-list\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Epic Store free games<\/strong><\/a>: What&#8217;s free right now?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: The best freebies you can grab<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-free-games-on-steam\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free Steam games<\/strong><\/a>: No purchase necessary<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/movies-tv\/dont-worry-theyre-not-just-adapting-blockbusters-this-trippy-japanese-walking-simulator-you-can-get-for-usd4-on-steam-has-been-made-into-a-movie-too\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, here&#8217;s a twist.
