I originally was not going to have a page dedicated to this game but, with how underrated it is I want to tell everyone to get it and see how amazing it is!!!
ALSO IT'S ON SALE RIGHT NOW PLEASE CHECK IT OUT !!!!!!
Just a little about this game:
Paranoramasight is a visual novel horror game (although I would say it's less of a horror and more thriller) made by square enix (and somehow got ZERO promotion) )
If I had to describe this game, I would say it's like a mix of Zero Escape, Death Note and Spirit Hunter. So if you like any of these you should definitely check it out!!!
One of the artists is Gen Kobayashi, who you might know as the artist of The World Ends with you! He went with a more painter-y style but I think that his art for this is absolutely amazing! Here's some non-spoilery screenshots :D
It has amazing writing, characters, interesting puzzles and overall it's a very satisfying experience :)
I promise you that going into it not knowing anything will make for the best experience but if you want to know about why I love this game proceed cautiously! (I wont spoil the plot points but some aspects of the gameplay would have been a fun surprise)
If you want to watch a playthrough, I recommend one by NicoB. He's smart about the way he approaches the puzzles and pieces the story together, it's satisfying to see someone who "gets it" easily haha. Plus it's always nice to watch someone who's really enjoying the game and shows it! *this game is already rated M but like. minors be cautious ig
This game is AMAZINGLY well written, the story is amazing. It's just so... complete. I cant think of anything I would change about the story itself, maybe some extra scenes would have been nice but not the overall story or characters. The pacing was also good and didnt feel rushed or too slow.
This game gives you all the tools you need to solve the problem, they give you all the dots to connect and the puzzles dont feel ridiculous and are satisfying (I have seen playthroughs of people who struggled to understand, but I have also seen others who managed to piece the whole story together with the clues before the game reveals it)
The foreshadowing is Really good. There's some things right from the beginning of the game that hints towards the story if you look carefully. It's nice to go back to it and its like Ohhhhhhhhhh
The characters are also amazing and all have depth. They're also far from perfect and have their own flaws. This game is about whether you would sacrifice others for your own ends, so obviously the characters dont neccessarily have the cleanest record. My favorite character in this game is probably Mio she's so badass and also adorable I will protect her with my life.
