Paranormal Activity – the found-footage horror series that’s spawned seven movies since its debut instalment blew up the box office in 2009 – is being turned into a game by The Mortuary Assistant developer DarkStone Digital horror and renowned indie horror publisher DreadXP.
DreadXP’s newly announced Paranormal Activity project, which follows the launch of last year’s VR-focused Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul from VRWERX, is being made in conjunction with Paramount Game Studios and promises to “bring the franchise’s groundbreaking found-footage style to horror enthusiasts in surprising new ways”.
Specifics are limited at this seemingly early juncture, but DarkStone Digital (AKA solo developer Brian Clarke, who’s also co-director and creative director of DreadXP) makes mention of a dynamic “haunt system” in the new Paranormal Activity game’s press release, said to alter the types and intensity of scares tplayers encounter based on their actions.
