About Paranox

SUMMARY


Paranox is a singleplayer survival horror game. As a Paranormal Researcher you find yourself taking an abandoned school as your research project, hoping to uncover the secrets that lay within the shadows. As you explore the haunted school you will find that you are not alone, your goal is to explore the school's twisted labyrinths in search for clues that will maybe lead you to the answers you seek... You must survive at all costs. BEWARE, as your presence within the walls of the school has caused an emergence of terrifying creatures...

GAMEPLAY


In Paranox you will have to traverse the school's labyrinth and avoid the creatures that stand in your path. Beware, as each creature has their own way to sniff you out so you should use your environment, spatial awareness and strategy in order to complete your research and survive. Your research consists of collecting a set amount of clues, which will uncover the secrets that have been buried within its crumbling walls.
No two games will play out the same way, no area is safe.
The more you know, the more relentless the creatures become, craving to snuff out your sanity's flame.
You can traverse vents and hide in lockers. Use the twisted labyrinth rooms and long, dark corridors with caution.

OBJECTIVE


Collect notes to reveal specific items which will have to be picked up. You will need to pick up 10 notes, and 10 items corresponding to each of those notes. When you pick up a note, X marks the spot on your map where you will find the item that you need to pick up. Once a note is picked up, all other notes disappear until you have picked up the item which corresponds to that note. Be careful as the creatures will do everything in their power to stop you.
Will you dare to keep seeking the truth?

✦ AI summary

Paranox is an early access horror game created by a small two-person team that players find surprisingly engaging despite its rough edges, praising its atmospheric sound design, eerie visuals, challenging gameplay, and effective scares. Common complaints include occasional bugs, optimization issues, and a lack of guidance, though players appreciate the developers' responsiveness to feedback and view the game as having strong creative potential. Most reviewers feel it's worth playing at its current price point, with several noting they plan to return as the game receives updates.

I saw this game browsin through new horror games. I didnt expect much as it clearly states Early Access. Although the game is obviously not perfect yet, it shows a lot of potential. It is honestly fun to play and the map is huge. Furthermore it is created by only 2 people (according to my knowledge) which is first of all impressive, but secondly also leadgin away from support all the huge developing companies that produce the same crap year after year. I hope the developers add new features and improve the game as they said. i will be popping in every couple of months and play the updated versions.

The developers of Paranox showcase both promise and room for improvement. Despite some rough edges, this horror game offers a chilling experience, featuring commendable graphics, an engaging storyline, and standout sound design. The atmospheric visuals, while not AAA-level, create an immersive and eerie setting. Gameplay, though occasionally clunky, features well-designed puzzles. The narrative unfolds with suspenseful pacing, keeping players invested. Sound design steals the show, with effective use of atmospheric sounds and music. However, the game suffers from bugs and optimization issues, indicative of the team's limited experience. Paranox may not redefine the horror genre, but it hints at the developers' creative potential. With continued dedication, this debut effort bodes well for future projects. It's a promising start, showcasing the team's potential in the realm of spine-chilling experiences.

Tough but scary and enjoyable horror game, always learn about some new mechanic on each run I do and get better at understanding how the map works. Definitely worth checking out

If you want to experience some serious jumpscares play this game! The game is an absolute banger for 5 green ones. I hate the big eye dude, I cannot express how many times he clapped me. I saw they recently fixed the issue with the volume, so kudos to the developers. I wish there was a bit more direction provided, but this is a personal preference.
