Blake Simons IndieWire Kawamura’s literary verve has elevated and transformed a dialogue-free indie game into a mystery box more reminiscent of complex ADV adventures such as “Zero Escape” and “Danganronpa,” and the cult film classic “Cube.” Rated: B+ May 24, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com It’s ultimately a clever and unshakeable nightmare about embracing the possibility of change, and the fear that comes with the unknown. May 21, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International A rare game-based movie that actually has the feel of a game, with confoundingly tricky rules, Exit 8 should achieve solid cult status beyond Japan. May 19, 2025 Full Review Martin Tsai ScreenAnarchy Though it's purposely repetitive, there's nary a dull moment. May 29, 2025 Full Review Josh Korngut Dread Central Genki Kawamura has crafted a haunting cautionary tale for the emotionally paralyzed, a masterpiece of No Exit Horror and quite possibly the best video game adaptation ever made. Rated: 5/5 May 24, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Exit 8 is a solid, if unsurprising addition to the genre. It's exactly what you'd expect from something made this fast out of material this light. That's not a bad thing, but it won't set the world on fire, either. Rated: 3/5 May 22, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
