About the Game

"EXIT: ANOMALOUS ZONES (Byilhan Hotel)" is a "walking simulator" and "Spot the Difference" game. The game challenges players to unravel hidden anomalies within the enigmatic corridor of the Byilhan Hotel.

The Byilhan Hotel is the main map and the first stage of your journey. This hotel presents a fairly standard setting, but the anomalies are what disrupt the place to make it stressful. Designed as an immersive experience, this level integrates many hidden references and nods to the streaming world and streamer Byilhan.

Each floor of the hotel presents a unique canvas, some adorned with peculiar anomalies and cameos while others maintain a perfect semblance of normalcy. Your task is to discern the subtle nuances that distinguish the ordinary from the extraordinary, as every object, angle, and shadow holds a potential clue.

Traverse the corridors with caution, as not all anomalies reveal themselves right away.

If you suspect an anomaly, turn back. If you think everything is normal, that there is no anomaly, do not turn back and continue down the corridor. If you make a mistake, you will know by looking at the stage number. If the number has increased, you made the right choice. If you return to stage 1, you made a mistake and will have to start over (the anomalies will be different). The objective is to reach the final stage.

In addition to the main environment, you can also explore the other maps included in the game:

  • The Backrooms: A plunge featuring rooms based on famous Backrooms levels such as the Poolrooms, Level FUN, etc.

  • The Abandoned Hospital: A dark and somewhat stressful environment.

  • The Museum: A map filled with mysterious paintings.

Key Features :

  • Looping Hotel Corridor: Explore the main repetitive environment of the game, where every step can lead to discovery or deception.

  • Duration: The final game generally lasts between 30 minutes and 1h30.
