The Exit 8

The Exit 8 is a small indie developer distorted reality game where you are looking to leave an underground passage at exit #8 -- the problem being every time you see an anomaly you need to turn around and go in the opposite direction.

The anomalies can be obvious, like all of the lights turning off - or very subtle, like the man passing you eyeballing you as he goes by, or even occur late in the hallway - and you are given a limited amount of time to assess and run back if necessary.

I ... struggled ... with some of the less obvious ones because you're not told what you missed, you only see that you failed after you turn through the tunnels and realize that you're back at the starting location without the ability to go and assess.  Super frustrating when you get to 7 and feel like you saw nothing ... perhaps it was because I had failed so many times previously that I had seen all the anomalies, but I lucked out at the end of my first playthrough with two rather obvious ones at the end.
