About the game
Experience the horrors of a haunting that's never the same twice. Paranormal is a 3D fully dynamic haunting experience. The player takes the role of Mattel Clarke, an artist who has a haunted house. Mattel decides to film the hauntings with his camera, which is the viewpoint of the game.
Minimum specs

The value story
Across all 39 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 187 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Mist Survival ($10.99, scores 28) and The Forest ($19.99, scores 85) both outscore it.

What players say
Huh, was just looking through my steam library...Hey I remember this game, spooky noises and then i got bored. I wonder if it ever got finished. Lets look....Wait....7 years?

this really shouldn't still be available for purchase. every once in a while i remember this game and look it up to see if it's still available or if there's actually been progress (i'd be surprised if there was and honestly i don't think i'd even give this game another try even if it suddenly got completed). it's pretty evident that the developer is never going to do anything with this game and it really shouldn't...
This game easily is replayable with a friend. you will have at least an hour or 2 of fun exploring and witnessing events before it gets old.
