Developer Phase 8 Studio and publisher LINE Games have officially launched the playtest on Steam for CODE EXIT, the 1–4 player sci-fi co-op survival horror game where every move is watched by the rogue AI Minerva. Through now until October 19, players can enter Pantheon, complete exploration missions across the facility, secure crucial data, and attempt to get out alive.
Those players who played through the May demo will find plenty has changed in Pantheon. The former three-stage structure has been streamlined into a single, more immersive session, with clear, approachable missions replacing complex puzzles. Each run now features randomized terrain and in-game element spawn locations, while fallen players can return as “MiRO” to assist teammates and be revived through interaction. S.O.M.A. also now begins offline, awakening only when it detects nearby noise or movement, keeping players on their toes with an unpredictable threat.
CODE EXIT puts players in the role of investigators sent into Pantheon, which has been overrun by the rogue AI known as Minerva, an integrated artificial intelligence that has turned the city into a locked-down machine nightmare. As players explore dark, isolated facilities, they’ll have to contend with Minerva roaming the city, observing their behavior in real time, and adapting its tactics. Restore systems, recover hidden data, and work together to uncover the truth behind the collapse of Pantheon before Minerva closes in.
Look for the full version of CODE EXIT on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.
