BETA 5 AND BEYOND!
If you pledge $30 or more on Kickstarter, you gain access to BETA 5 and every beta after it. You also get a free copy of Paranormal when it's released!
Other than making Paranormal CLOSED BETA 5 available to pledgers of $30 or more, I've begun my work on the yard (new area to explore!). What horrors await you outside the walls of your home?
A Mac OSX version of Paranormal will also be available at launch! Keep funding the Kickstarter to ensure the Mac version gets updates as often as the PC version!

My goal is to release the game by Halloween 2012 (October 31, 2012). If it gets finished before then, I'll have to release it earlier. When the game gets finished depends heavily on your feedback from playing the betas, so please comment on them! Thanks!
We've hit our Kickstarter goal of $800! Let's keep going! Our new goal is $1500! A pledge of at least $20 is considered pre-ordering the game! A pledge of $60 will get you and two friends a copy of the game when it's released! Spread the word!
HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR PARANORMAL: Kickstarter.com
The Kickstarter project will help fund the game's development, production, PR, and publishing. I intend to release Paranormal on Steam and/or Desura, but I can't do it without your help! Thank you so much!
If the game get to STEAM, how much will it cost?
It will not be very expensive. The exact price, I'm not sure yet. But it will be a fair price.
ok, you could launch a new version of beta 4, without those bugs.
Sorry my english is terrible XD
