Toho, the legendary studio behind theGodzillafranchise and theHaikyu!!anime is now set to adapt the odd and creepy Nintendo Switch hitExit 8to the big screen.
Via a scoopcaught by Gamesradar, we learnedExit 8‘s creator has just written a message to fans, celebrating the surprise of learning the small title would be adapted to the big screen just a year after release.
If you don’t know anything about the game I’m talking about, that actually speaks loads aboutExit 8‘s prowess as the perfect indie sleeper hit.Exit 8is a very simple affair, one where players are tasked with navigating a labyrinthian maze of liminal spaces that make up a nightmarish version of Tokyo’s subway system. On top of the natural anxiety that comes from feeling lost, players will also have to deal with certain anomalies that are sure not to help them in their quest for freedom.
Even though it was this year’s second-most downloaded Switch title, many still don’t know about it. That sounds strange, but it is actually great if you’re looking for a mysterious and creepy theater experience that’ll have you on the edge of your seat.
Recent times have shown us that good video game adaptations can be a thing. While I have no idea how Toho manages to tackle such a title, I’m down to see what such a studio will try to pull with the adaptation of this creepy internet copypasta-inspired indie hit about making the mundane terrifying.
Whether or not you care about the upcoming adaptation of this spooky indie, you can getExit 8for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
