This is Still the Best ‘Paranormal Activity’ Game

Published

on

A lot has changed since I last sat down with Matt Cohen’s supernatural horror game Paranormal nearly three years ago. It’s still the most faithful, albeit unofficial, game adaptation of the Paranormal Activity film franchise, thanks to procedurally generated supernatural happenings that get progressively worse as you delve deeper into the story.

Three years later and I still don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Such is the life of an artist.

Cohen and Co. have been rebuilding Paranormal in the Unreal engine while simultaneously expanding the scope of the nearly four year-old indie game beyond the walls of its haunted house setting. The latest build should arrive very soon, according to a post on the game’s Steam page.

If you liked this, I recommend checking out the handful of supernaturally gifted indies we have to look forward to this year, like Visage, Allison Road and Night Terrors.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
