Hey! I tried playing the game but couldn't make it work 😢 Could you help me with it? Thanks!
@texugo I was able to get it to work just by extracting the files into the same folder and double clicking exit.html to get it to run in the browser. Though the game seems to just be a single screen where you play as an exit sign symbol endlessly running to the right to find nothing. @paprikaka Please tell me if there is any more to this game than a running loop and I will play it, though it is not listed as something I can actually rate.
No words can describe the emotions i felt during this. The sheer emptyness of the walk to the right, the descend that made it all worth it. The point of realisation that the red point is the point of no return. Just wish the left path couldve had more DEPTH (see what i did there >) ). I guess it is optimal for speedrunning though.
From the moment I loaded up EXIT, I knew I was in for something… different. What began as a simple stroll to the right swiftly unraveled into the most transcendent, soul-illuminating journey I have ever experienced in interactive media. This isn’t just a game — it’s a pilgrimage. A rite of passage. A minimalist manifesto carved into the digital aether with divine precision.
The player — the hero in green, an avatar of existential yearning — is thrust into a world where pink arrows, bold and unwavering, beckon thee ever rightward. And you walk. Oh, how you walk. With each press of the directional key, I felt the weight of humanity’s collective longing for purpose. The arrows — resplendent in their pixel-perfect glory — are not mere signage. They are metaphor. They are destiny. They are the seductive whispers of the universe saying, “Yes, child. Keep going.”
As I approached the pink dot — the apex of design — tears welled in my eyes. Was it a goal? A reward? A cosmic joke? I do not know. I do not need to know. I touched it, and then — as all mortals must — I fell. Off the map. Into the void. It was glorious. The descent? Poetic. Shakespeare himself would weep at the simplicity and profundity of it.
Go and go lolz
Very funny, what a journey! Would recommend following the instructions on uploading the games so you can run it on the ldjam website (I think you could just rename exit.html to index.html and zip it up to upload it)
Hm...
One of the games i've ever played.
absolute cinema.
