The "Box Office Revenue Exceeds 5 Billion Yen! Complete Strategy Stage Greeting" event for the film "Exit 8" (directed by Genki Kawamura), which is based on a popular video game, was held in Tokyo on Getsuku, with appearances by lead actors Kazunari Ninomiya, Kawachi Yamato, and director Kawamura.
"Exit 8" is an infinite loop game where players search for "anomalies" created by indie game creator KOTAKE CREATE. Released in 2023, it has sold over 1.9 million copies. Set in a subway station, players are trapped in an underground passage that loops endlessly, searching for various "anomalies" as they make their way to Exit 8. The game's simple yet unique and eerie worldview has attracted attention, making it an unusually big hit for a short game created by an individual.
