Line Games (co-CEOs Cho Dong-hyun and Bae Young-jin) announced on the 20th that it has signed a publishing agreement with domestic indie developer Cresent (CEO Choi Eun-chul) for the new PC title 'CODE EXIT' and has launched the game's official Steam page.

Set in a city overrun by the rogue AI 'Minerva,' 'CODE EXIT' follows the story of 'Hermes,' an investigation team deployed to restore the system and uncover the truth behind the incident while evading lethal machines. Gameplay involves exploring facilities and completing missions with teammates in the dark.

The game's standout feature is its emphasis on cooperative play. It offers a variety of content designed to foster synergy, such as sharing information while separated from teammates or completing missions that require mutual interdependence. The game supports up to four-player co-op and includes in-game voice chat.

The enemies in the game are equipped with a system that learns player patterns. This maximizes psychological horror and immersion, requiring players to make strategic choices to survive in constantly shifting, threatening situations.

Line Games plans to release a demo soon, allowing players to get an early look at the unique content of 'CODE EXIT.' Following this, the company aims to launch the game in Early Access on Steam in the first quarter of next year, incorporating feedback from users into further development.

A Line Games representative stated, "'CODE EXIT' will play a key role in our strategy to diversify genres and expand our PC title portfolio. We will strengthen our cooperation with the developer to provide users with a differentiated gameplay experience that combines the fun of horror and cooperative play."

More information and key updates regarding 'CODE EXIT' can be found on its Steam page.
