This update is the last for the demo version. The next development pipeline will take place with the main build of the game and without public announcements of updates.

Those who have immediate access to the full version of the game (beta testers and press) will also not receive updates to the build. Development will move to a closed branch. If it is necessary to recruit testers, I will conduct closed recruitments of people on separate closed testing branches.

I express my deep gratitude for the great attention to the game, for your minutes spent in the demo version and for your pleasant feedback. Based on your feedback, wishes and guided by the original idea, I, as a developer, will do everything possible to ensure that the final product pleases you.

Overall, I was pleased with the result and would like to report some minor successes as a result of the presentation of the Demo version. 1,500 people played the demo, 13,000 people installed the demo version, and 6,100 people added it to their wishlist (at the time of writing the news).

The demo version will not be removed from Steam and will continue to remain public!

Demo version is already available for download!

Hello! I would like to tell you in advance about my plans for Early Access. As you may have noticed, the game will not be released immediately, but in Early Access. This is due to the fact that I am developing the project alone and it would take a lot of time to complete all my plans for the game.

I don’t want to reveal all the plans and ideas regarding the storyline, but I can say that the Early Access version will not be limited by content. Both in terms of mechanics and plot.

Since there were many questions about these items, I decided to give them a place in the news digest. There are a lot of mechanics planned for the game, both familiar to everyone from the game Phasmophobia, and new ones. The main principle of the game mechanics is the search for paranormal activity.

Cooperative? No. Online and co-op are not provided in the game and will not be added, even in the release version. So, the game is planned and developed for a single story adventure. This is a full-fledged story-oriented game.

As for the plot. The plot is written by an individual with experience and already released projects in the genre of horror games.

The release of the public Demo version is scheduled for October 9, 2023! The demo version will feature a short excerpt of the storyline and some game mechanics will be available. Also follow our YouTube channels. So, for the release of the Demo version, we have prepared a special new trailer!

Good luck everyone, thank you for your attention and add the game to your wishlist!

QUESTION: Is there a game or is it all staged gameplay?
ANSWER: The game actually exists. A number of people who have been active on our social networks have already been selected for the first iterations of testing. The entire video is entirely gameplay. The game is currently in active development, so what you see in the trailer is not the final version. Anyone of you who wants to get into the ranks of testers, if we notice his activity in our social networks and support.

QUESTION: Why is the trailer low quality/shows small FPS?
ANSWER: Indeed, the trailer was recorded in 1080p, on an NVIDIA Geforce 1050 graphics card, and the game was set to High Graphics settings. I haven't paid proper attention to optimization yet, so to try out the game, at medium graphics settings and in 2K, you will need at least NVIDIA Geforce 1070. Keep in mind that the demonstrated locations in the trailer, are not the final version.

QUESTION: Will the game really come out?
ANSWER: Paranormal Records is indeed a game and it will see a release in late 2023/early 2024 according to preliminary plans. It is being developed by one person, but with a lot of personal experience and several released games. Therefore, don't worry about the fate of Paranormal Records or Nefolium. Both projects are in an active production phase and will be released as early as this year.

QUESTION: There were so many similar horror games announced, how is your project better? Why isn't your game a clone of any?
ANSWER: Paranormal Records is an independent game that does not copy or try to copy anyone else's ideas. All accusations or comparisons of this game to its competitors are false accusations, having only watched the 40 second trailer. I actively follow competitor projects and in my opinion and based on the opinions of people who have already played it, I can say that Paranormal Records is really distinctive and not like other games.

In what way is this expressed? First and foremost, the story. To write the story, was invited a writer who will pay enough attention to it that the plot will interest you and leave a pleasant impression.
YES! THERE ARE NO HARSH SCREAMERS IN THE GAME! But that doesn't mean there will be nothing to scare you. Let's remember the game Darkwood. It doesn't scare you with screamers, it scares you with its story, world and atmosphere. To answer the question about the screamer from the trailer, I would like to say that this screamer is from the early builds and it's long gone in the game. I put it in, just because I thought it was appropriate for the end of the trailer. I made a mistake.

QUESTION: Why is the game unique and "revolutionary"?
ANSWER: The game is unique for a number of reasons. The uniqueness lies in the story. The story does not copy or parasitize
