Square Enix, a renowned game developer, has unveiled their latest horror adventure game called Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo in the recent Japanese Nintendo Direct. This new release from Square Enix is available on both mobile and Steam platforms. The game takes you on an eerie journey set in late Showa-era Japan where you will encounter historical events intertwined with Japanese folklore that lead to a spine-chilling mystery.
It's unfortunate that horror is not commonly seen as a genre on mobile, even though it has the potential to fit perfectly into a pocket-sized experience. However, now we have a new addition to this field from an acclaimed triple-A developer and just by looking at the game or playing it, you can tell its quality.
Paranormasight possesses an exceptional and distinctive artistic approach, combining elements of anime and comic books. The visuals are stunningly crafted with hand-drawn characters and scenes that move beautifully. Additionally, the music is both beautiful yet unsettling, featuring eerie background sounds as well as jarring horror strings to set the tone for your supernatural journey.
In terms of gameplay, the game functions similarly to a visual novel. The plot mainly revolves around scenes between characters during their travels across various locations, and these interactions are the primary focus of the game. Although there are some interactive puzzles and story segments that you can control, at its core this is a traditional adventure game.
I am hesitant to reveal much about the story here as I do not want to ruin anything. However, it explores some serious topics such as sorrow, bereavement, and mortality. It is not suitable for those who are easily scared but definitely worth checking out by enthusiasts of the horror genre!
