The wild horror game lineup from Madmind Studio is growing once more as we finally get more information on Paranoid, a game we first heard of back during Madnight 2021. The list of titles we learned of from that event is starting to show more promise since Void Slayer launched and now we are about to get a free demo to try out a new horror experience from the team that likes to push limits!
The game tells the story of Patrick Calman, a 31-year-old man who lost his entire family in mysterious circumstances. Both of his parents died brutally and his sister suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. The trauma of losing loved ones shattered Patrick's psyche and turned his own apartment into a prison. The only member of Patrick's family left alive is his sister, who disappeared more than 10 years ago. One day, he receives a phone call, and the voice in the receiver seems to belong to his lost sibling. She announces her arrival – several years after her disappearance. The whole event forces Patrick to break his previous life of isolation, exposing himself to nightmarish experiences bordering on madness.
We also now know the release window for the full game is planned for Halloween 2023 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The free demo will be available on Steam starting tomorrow, February 6th, as part of the Steam Next Fest. How deep does the psychological rabbit hole go this time?
