Paranormal
By MattCohen | Released Aug 6, 2012
A fully dynamic haunting-experience. Experience the horrors of a haunting that's never the same twice.
Features:
- Free Content Updates FOREVER: Paranormal will receive free content updates that add new locations, stories, scenarios, scares, gameplay mechanics, and more! You will NEVER have to pay for DLC in Paranormal. The game's content is planned to double or even triple with each major content update.
- Collectibles: In your bedroom, there's a shelf where all the collectibles you find are displayed.
- Sleep System: Sleeping in your bed recharges your camera's batteries and also has a chance of triggering other events.
- Flashlight (camera light): Creates a bright, short ranged light that casts dynamic shadows.
- Newer sound effects: I've totally redone the sound in the game, optimizing it for surround sound or headphones.
- Controller support: The game will launch with full XBOX 360 Controller support, as well as native Mouse + Keyboard.
- Dynamic Haunting: I've revamped the dynamic haunting features from the tech demo I released, adding multiple outcomes, dynamic triggers, countless variables, and an action-reaction system. This will make your experience with the game much more unique and memorable, without missing out on anything important.
- First-Person Camera: Much like in the movies 'Paranormal Activity' or 'The Blair Witch Project', the viewpoint will be that of a camera being held by a person (the player). Effects like camera shake, pixelation, video distortion, audio distortion, and motion blur will all be present thanks to the camera screen-space shader I built for everything.

PARANORMAL 1.2.4 IS NOW AVAILABLE ON DESURA
Paranormal is finally fully released! Paranormal 1.2.4 contains many bug fixes, as well as a new experimental gameplay mechanic called Stains. Stains are paranormal hotspots that have a small chance to appear throughout the house. Are they dangerous? Only one way to find out. See the changelog below for more details.
PARANORMAL: The Town -- The first FREE expansion pack announced!
WE HAVE A NEW KICKSTARTER FOR PARANORMAL: THE TOWN!
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO LITERALLY BE PART OF THE GAME!
PARANORMAL: The Town -- Paranormal's first free expansion pack will, in essence, be a sequel to the base game. Since it's pretty much an entirely new game, it will take quite some time to complete. The Kickstarter project will help us raise money for Paranormal: The Town's development. Let's work together and make the most unique and amazing horror experience around!
Here's a feature list:
- An entire town to explore with randomly generated content.
- A new storyline with new characters, including a new main character.
- New gameplay mechanics (will elaborate at later date).
- Still played in the found-footage style (like Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project).
- Confirmed locations in the town currently include: A highschool, a graveyard.
- The story will be related to the story from the base game.
- If you like Silent Hill, you should be excited-that's where we're taking some inspiration from.
- More story-driven experience while still maintaining the random nature of the game.
- More features to be announced at a later date.
Changelog:
- Added new gameplay mechanic: Stains.
- Added one new ending (minor).
- Tweaked Unabridged Mode for better pacing.
- Fixed many issues with invisible objects.
- Fixed some issues with certain endings.
- Fixed a few crashes.
- Fixed tons of glitches and bugs.
- And many many more things you'll have to discover on your own!
(The Black Screen glitch some users have been facing has been fixed in 1.2.4. Download this patch's standalone installer from Desura if you experience this issue.)PopMatters wrote:The most interesting thing about it, though, is that I am this character. I’m motivated to record the ghost for personal reasons and that adds to personal fear Paranormal evokes. I already have undeniable proof of its existence, but I want to see what it’s capable of. I don’t care if it hates me. I want to push it further.
