After getting a taste of the gameplay during Madmind Studio’ MADNIGHT 2023 Showcase back in December, the developer has released a demo for its upcoming psychological horror title in Paranoid. The demo is available today during Steam Next Fest.
Per the announcement on the Steam page for Paranoid, the game (and assumedly, the demo itself) features the following:
● Dynamic, intense and brutal combat
● Executions by weapons and environment
● Melee weapons and guns
● Puzzles
● Balancing between paranoia and reality
● Terrifying enemies
● A multi-threaded storyline that combines psychological horror with action and survival
● Realistic visuals
● Disturbing atmosphere mixing psychosis and surrealism
Paranoid is a first-person horror title set in the 80s that tells the story of one Patrick Calman, a 31-year-old man whose entire family has been lost under mysterious circumstances. His parents have died, and his sister has suddenly gone missing. The resulting trauma has caused Patrick’s psyche to crumble, with his apartment now becoming his prison. One day, Patrick receives a phone call from someone who sounds like his sister. Patrick makes the choice to leave his apartment in order to discover the truth. In doing so, he exposes himself to nightmarish experiences that threaten to destroy what’s left of his sanity.
Paranoid is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series, with a Halloween 2023 release.
Steam Next Fest goes from February 6 until February 13th. Thanks to RelyOnHorror for the heads up!
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
