Developed by Phase 8 Studio, the game supports up to four-player co-op and is set in the city of Pantheon, where the AI Minerva has gone rogue. Players join the investigation team Hermes to uncover the truth behind the incident. Minerva is a learning AI that adapts to player tactics, meaning strategies that work once may not work again. The demo includes Stage 1 and supports voice chat for team coordination. The full game is scheduled for release in Q1 2027. The game reportedly avoids jump scares, focusing instead on tension from the AI's adaptive behavior and procedurally changing mission objectives.","why_it_matters":"The learning AI mechanic that invalidates repeated player strategies sets CODE EXIT apart from standard co-op horror shooters, and the demo's release on two storefronts gives a broad audience an early look at how that system works.","published_at":"2026-05-20T08:45:52.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["4Gamer.net","Game Spark"],"citations":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"Sci-Fi Horror Game \"CODE EXIT\" with Up to 4-Player Co-op Demo Released on Steam and Epic Games Store","url":"https://www.4gamer.net/games/001/G100149/20260520026/"},{"source":"Game Spark","title":"Max 4-Player Co-op Sci-Fi Horror Shooter 'CODE EXIT' Demo Released May 20 at 10:00 AM.
