A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to The Broken Exit, a psychological horror loop experience developed using Unreal Engine 5 for PC.

Trapped inside a repeating nightmare, the player relives the same space over and over — but something is always different. What starts as a normal bedroom slowly descends into a disturbing and surreal experience.

There is no escape through skill or puzzle-solving… only through experiencing all seven loops.

Gameplay

In The Broken Exit, the player wakes up in a bedroom and walks toward the main door.

Each time the door is opened:

  • The screen fades out
  • The player resets back in the bedroom
  • The environment changes

This loop repeats 7 times.

With each loop:

  • The environment becomes darker and more distorted
  • Reality breaks further
  • The atmosphere grows increasingly unsettling

After the 7th loop:

  • The main door finally opens
  • The camera moves outside
  • A bright white light fills the scene
  • Calm ambient audio replaces the tension
  • The experience ends with the title reveal

Loved this experience—each loop felt more unsettling, and the atmosphere and sound design made it genuinely creepy. That ending was a perfect payoff. Fantastic, 10/10 would recommend.
