About Paranormal: Found Footage

BACKSTORY


You are a student journalist who decides to make a documentary about the abandoned «North» cosmodrome, where in the 1990s a series of man-made disasters occurred that caused serious genetic changes in humans and animals, forming previously unknown mutations. Almost the entire population was evacuated, and an exclusion zone appeared on the territory of the cosmodrome along with the nearest settlements.

Two of your friends, who are well-versed in these places and know how to get to the abandoned spaceport, are going on an expedition with you. They drove ahead, and you followed them in your car. But halfway along the way, a snowstorm began and you did not notice how you turned the wrong way, strayed from other members of the expedition and got stuck in the middle of the forest in the exclusion zone. Attempts to contact friends were unsuccessful. Deciding that the spaceport is not too far away, you decide to walk the rest of the route alone through the forest, taking your camera with you.

FEATURES


This is a game in the genre of "found footage", where you control the camera of a character in the first person. You will be able to explore a really huge exclusion zone, encounter paranormal phenomena, plunge into the mystical atmosphere of the winter forest and perhaps you will be able to find out the real reason for the closure of the «North» cosmodrome.

Found Footage: Paranormal — offers you a unique experience of immersion in the atmosphere of real chthonic horror, using realistic Unreal Engine 5 graphics, sophisticated sound design and a system of random encounters with entities during your journey. Do not forget, the world in which you find yourself lives by its own rules and your appearance in it will not go unnoticed.

What will you do if you find yourself in the forest at night?

Paranormal: Found Footage is a slow-burning psychological horror game that uses the found-footage format to create a deeply oppressive and immersive experience built around isolation, environmental tension, and supernatural paranoia. Developed by Paphnutius and published by WINTERMUTE, the game places players inside a frozen exclusion zone surrounding an abandoned cosmodrome where disturbing experiments and unexplained paranormal events left the entire region abandoned. Taking the role of a student journalist investigating the area with only a camera and limited supplies, players explore snow-covered forests, ruined facilities, underground structures, and decaying buildings while gradually uncovering horrifying clues tied to the region’s dark history. The game focuses far more on atmosphere and psychological discomfort than traditional action-heavy horror mechanics, and that approach becomes its greatest strength. The atmosphere is easily the most impressive part of the experience. Paranormal: Found Footage constantly creates a feeling of vulnerability through darkness, blizzards, distant sounds, and massive stretches of lonely wilderness where danger could appear at any moment.

A decent and very short walking simulator. A sort of *The Blair Witch Project* on a shoestring budget. Not bad at all. 6---/10

Only thing paranormal about this game was the ability to create something rather unfun and unoriginal. Running after an orb for ages is the epitome of unfunny and I would rather take a stroll through the woods than play this again. Not even bothered to ever touch it again, despite the fact that once you reach the rocket launch, that's pretty much when the game decides you are on your own, and, oh boy, things only get worse through there.... Absolutely not recommended and this, even after reading and rereading the games description as the dev advised before. Reading the description was far more fun than the game itself.

I am a huge horror game nerd. So when this popped up as something of “interest”, I jumped on it. The Black Friday sale was also helpful because who doesn’t love a bargain, am I right? So the gist of the story, there’s some weird stuff happening, allegations of human mutations and whatever else. You and two friends go out to the testing site to get footage of what’s going on. Upon entering the game, you see a white van, and you’re only equipped with a flashlight and a camera. The date of the footage you’re capturing is 2024, but the footage looks like something caught in a 1990s 7Eleven security camera. The students in Blair Witch had better technology back in 1999. You can’t do anything with this camera except zoom in and out. You can run, thank the gracious for that, but while running, you’d think the dude is missing both lungs and is using a plastic bag as a replacement organ. There is ZERO storyline. And I mean ZERO. You’re walking in a linear manner, following some glowing orb throughout the forest. What’s this orb? Why am I following it? What’s the whispers? Is it supposed to be paranormal or are these mutated humans? Do we know the definition of paranormal? I had so man…
