History VideoGame / Paranormal

* [[ConvenientMiscarriage InconvenientMiscarriage]]: [[spoiler: Strongly implied.]]

* FoundFootageFilm: Done in the style of such films.

* ApocalypticLog: Diary pages from the house's previous owner appear in random locations, providing clues to her tragic fate.

* CameraAbuse: It's raining in Mattel's backyard, and smears of distortion slip across the camera's image when he goes outside, representing raindrops on the lens.

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Red writing appears on the walls and floor, sometimes when Mattel's back is turned for only a second or two.

''Paranormal'' is an indie-produced horror game for PC, currently available in Early Access and undergoing further development. The game's style is reminiscent of FoundFootageFilms, as the player directs a new homeowner's attempts to capture his (very) haunted house's ever-intensifying supernatural manifestations via InUniverseCamera. Every running of ''Paranormal'' is unique, as the spooky events and increasingly-dangerous apparitions are generated randomly each time, becoming more extreme as Mattel's investigation stretches out over several nights. Assuming he lasts that long...

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How the body of one of the house's previous owners was found. [[spoiler: Also how the kitchen apparition appears, nailed to the wall by a large pipe.]]

* TimeLimit: You have to get Mattel back to his room and into bed when his camera's battery runs low, giving it a chance to recharge (and the game, time to prepare the next night's scares).

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Red writing appears on the walls and floor, sometimes when Mattel's back is turned for only a second or two.

* CreepyChangingPainting: Several paintings and murals around the house change their appearance to something ominous.

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Red writing appears on the walls and floor, sometimes instantaneously when Mattel's back is turned for only a second or two.

* BloodyHandprint: Yes, and bloody ''footprints'' too, not always on the floor.

* DullSurprise: Even when objects are floating in midair and mannequins are creeping around behind him, Mattel's reactions tend to be muted at best.

* InUniverseCamera: Mattel carries a camera with him while exploring his house at night; by day, while he's sleeping, closed-circuit cameras monitor cut-scene hauntings elsewhere in the house.
