Paranoiac

About

Paranoiac follows Miki Takamura as she occupies a decaying home once belonging to her aunt. The house pulses with eerie stillness, its doors sealed by unknown forces, and its halls shifting to disorient and trap her. Players navigate the environment by managing limited resources, solving environmental puzzles, and making choices that shape how the story unfolds. The gameplay leans into slow tension, with audio cues and visual distortions amplifying the sense of being watched. Built using the WOLF RPG Editor, the game uses simple graphics to great effect, letting the atmosphere carry the horror. The house itself feels like a living antagonist, with layouts that rearrange to trap or mislead. Though freeware, its design has earned it a dedicated following among fans of psychological horror. The lack of combat or action elements focuses the fear entirely on isolation and uncertainty.
