More about The Exit 8

70 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to November 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 109 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 8,851 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 79 percent of everything written about it.

Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Holding it back
Cost per hour$3.99/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set. That is today's sale price. Normally $5.70/hr
Refunds70 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Short and simple loop game where you have to find anomalies - I didn't expect to get as hooked as I did. I literally felt like a kid again trying to find differences on pictures. At first you get an eerie feeling, however while progressing you will feel more confident about your moves, I didn't notice any jumpscares, although i did expect one so I got spooked once or twice. Perfect game lenght - any longer and could...
