Steam Next Fest may be over, but not for CODE EXIT. Developer Phase 8 Studio and publisher LINE Games have released the Demo 2.0 for the sci-fi co-op survival horror game, ahead of Steam Scream V Fest.
Following a successful three-week global playtest, Demo 2.0 introduces new gameplay systems and improvements shaped by community feedback. A new tutorial stage helps operatives prepare for the horrors ahead, while refined UI, customizable keyboard controls, and ongoing multiplayer optimizations aim to deliver a smoother co-op experience. Even death isn’t the end with the new MiRO robot mechanic, which lets fallen teammates continue supporting their allies, while the Offline S.O.M.A system introduces another layer of tension by activating in response to nearby noise and player actions.
In CODE EXIT, players take on the role of Hermes operatives sent into Pantheon to restore critical systems, secure hidden data, and make it back alive. Play solo or join up to three other players to explore isolated facilities, activate terminals, bypass sealed doors, and complete objectives while Minerva watches your every move. Repeat the same strategies too often, and she may learn to use them against you.
CODE EXIT will launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.
