[REC] Paroxysm

I was able to beat the game in about 40 minutes with all achievements. Thats where the good things about this game end. For being made in Unreal Engine the graphics/visuals are really bad. It reminds me of a Playstation 1 game with too many dark areas and hurts just to look at for 40 minutes. At least the audio wasn't bad. The gameplay was worse then the graphics. No reticle or anything to show where you are clicking other then guessing. A lot of the time you can't progress through the game until you walk back and forth a few times and waste enough time for the next sequence to progress or so it seems like. There is no current task or equivalent so most of the time your just walking around trying to figure out what you should be doing or going. The story didn't grab my attention at all. The controls where basic and not bad. At least your able to "walk fast" with the shift button. There where moments things felt tense but all of the jump scares where predictable. Overall I feel this game is about a 2/5 star game. For the price of $4 USD it will count for your achievements and give you another complete game for all the achievement hunters. If this game was $1 USD or free I would rate…

**Paroxysm** was a game that completely caught me by surprise. I picked this one up as part of a bundle during the Steam Summer Sale, and if I'm being honest, I'd never even heard of it before. Because of that, I wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I wrong. This is the first horror game in quite a while that had me genuinely afraid to turn around. The atmosphere in this game is absolutely incredible. From the moment things started getting creepy, I constantly felt like something was right behind me. Even when nothing was happening, I found myself hesitating before looking over my shoulder because I was convinced something was going to be there. That's the kind of atmosphere I love in a horror game. The game itself is fairly short, but it uses every minute wisely. It doesn't waste your time or drag things out. Instead, it builds tension almost the entire way through, and I spent most of the playthrough on edge wondering what was coming next. It's been a while since a horror game made me feel that uncomfortable, and *Paroxysm* absolutely delivered. Overall, I had a really great time with this one. It's another hidden gem that deserves far more attention than it's gotten, and if y…

Great game! If youre looking for a short scary game. BUY IT!

A very effective short horror game with a genuinely frightening atmosphere. The scares in this game are extremely well crafted and aided in no small part by some truly excellent sound design. The game is also just short enough to not overstay it's welcome. Overall a great game for the price

Best Horror game i have played, got me into horror games and have found good ones but nothing as scary/good as this game
