Japanese developer BeXide has announced The Fox’s Way Home, an escape adventure game where you have to watch a fox goddess dance.

Inspired by The Exit 8, another escape adventure game, The Fox’s Way Home is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and will launch in Q3 2024.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Dancing fox shrine maiden! A slightly sexy ‘The Exit 8’-like game

The game is very simple! First, watch the dance performed by the Fox shrine Maiden carefully and memorize it well. Be sure not to get distracted by her sexy allure and miss any part of the dance.

How to Play

To return to your original world, you must witness all the rituals performed by the Fox shrine Maiden. Sometimes, apparitions called “mononoke” will try to deceive you by taking on a form very similar to the Fox Shrine Maiden and tempt you.

Stay strong, watch the rituals carefully, and don’t get enchanted by the seductive fox dance, so you can spot the “mononoke”!

‘Firstly! If you believe it is truly me, call out my name!’

‘First! If you believe it is a fake, immediately expose it!’

‘If you make a mistake, the ritual fails at that point!’

If you feel something is off, point out the suspicious parts of the Fox Shrine Maiden!

If your suspicion is correct, the “mononoke” will retreat, and a lantern will light up. Light all 8 lanterns to return to the world you came from!

Apparition Encyclopedia

The various forms of the “mononoke” you have exposed can be recorded in an encyclopedia. Repeat the rituals and create your very own captivating “Apparition Encyclopedia”!
