PARANORMASIGHT

PARANORMASIGHT is a horror-mystery game based on urban legends, in which players join detectives to investigate a series of bizarre deaths. Throughout the investigation, players will engage in Q&A sessions with witnesses; the choices made during these conversations can determine whether someone lives or dies and may trigger different narrative branches. Players also have the flexibility to return to earlier points in the story to explore alternative paths. Furthermore, the development team has meticulously crafted various city locations—such as museums, tourist associations, and local neighborhoods—to lend a greater sense of realism to the investigation.

Characters of PARANORMASIGHT:

Shogo Okiie: Shogo Okiie is a rather unremarkable young man, and is rather content to just go with the flow.He has no strong opinions or ideas, and has no particular dissatisfaction with the developing world around him. Since university, he’s settled into an apolitical mindset, which was rather common among those of his generation.Shogo's somewhat easily influenced by popular trends and the tastes of girls he likes and is currently looking for a girlfriend, and wishes for a modest, homely love.

Harue Shigima: Harue Shigima is in grief and has clinical depression. She deals with persistent sadness, constant low energy, and isn't interested in many activities or hobbies. She frequently reacts to moments with numbness and, rarely, intense anger.Harue is also rather blunt and cynical, cautious and pessimistic when it comes to a person's motives and sincerity. She's mature and is often serious, not truly having any reason not to be.Harue is a reserved woman and selfish, and often becomes desperate if it means she can gain back what she misses most—her son. But she knows her strengths and abilities, and can rationally think ahead, which can overpower her wants in order to do what she needs to.

Tetsuo Tsutsumi: Tetsuo has a gruff personality. He is stern and prioritizes work, his colleagues, and any civilians that may be in danger during his investigation. He is determined and passionate about his job, which prevents outside influences (like Curses) from effecting him and his priorities.However, because of all this, he neglects his family life. Although Tetsuo does have a caring side, a part of him that wishes for his family to be safe and happy, it wasn't enough to keep them with him.

She is a beautician, earning her license two years ago in night school after dropping out of high school. While she used to be the second-in-command of an all-female gang during her school years, she is now a young-spirited and fervent woman, determined to live her best life, no matter how short, with her fiancée, Hajime Yoshimi.

Walkthrough of PARANORMASIGHT:

Shogo Okiie - Prologue

When you finally get control, examine the girl's body to add her to your files. Examine the Surroundings and Telephone Booth for more files. Talk to the girl again, then press Recall. Look slightly to your left during the flashback. Hit Recall, then examine Yoko. Talk to her about all options until a checkmark appears next to each option.

When Yoko points, turn around and look up until you get a prompt with a PUSH icon. Press it, then turn around and examine Yoko. Examine her again, then examine the telephone booth. Turn around and examine the Fallen Object on the ground by Yoko. Look to the right of the playground, by the tree, and talk to the Shadowy Figure. Call out to him.

Talk to him, then use the Think option and talk to him again. Ask about Yoko twice, then turn around and check on her for an achievement - Shogo's Blunder.

Try again, talk to him and exhaust all dialogue options, then press Recall. Talk to him about his identity, then press Think. Talk to him once more, and when ready to convince him to leave, say you called an Ambulance.

On the map, go to South Warigesui Street, examine the surroundings, then examine the curse outline and move closer when prompted. In the dark, just keep trying to move, think, or take actions until you get the achievement Everburning Shogo.

Try again, and this time, go to the Shumoku Bridge Area first to find a Lighter. Once you have it, go back to South Warigesui Street and examine the shadow again, then use the Lighter once you're in the darkness. Once done, move to Ho'onji Bridge.

Keep talking to the man here until you've exhausted the dialogue, then move to Midoricho Park. You'll be in a sort of minigame here - lean out to the right when the men are talking, and when one mentions hearing or noticing something, duck back to the left to hide behind the tree. After the sequence, keep talking to both men and exhaust all dialogue options (answer The Taiko of Tsugaru if you want to be smart), then move to Komagata High School. Examine the Surroundings for a file, then examine the school gate. Examine the girl, then talk to her. Move to the Former Yasuda Gardens.

Examine the Surroundings for a file, then turn around to talk to the woman. The choices here don't matter - keep talking until the scene ends and you get the achievement Haunting Shogo. Try again, then immediately go into your inventory, select the Lighter, and throw it away. Move to Ryogoku Bridge.

Examine the Ryogoku Bridge for a file. Talk to the man and pick any options to earn the achievement Foot-Washing Shogo. Try again, go into the Options menu of the game and set Voice volume to 0 (remember to hit Apply!). Talk to the man again. After this scene, you can turn Voice volume back on if you wish.

After this sequence, you will unlock the Story Chart option. When the Storyteller asks you a question, save your game in case you get it wrong, then answer based on what you've seen so far (it changes per player). If you get the answer right, you get the Whodunit achievement. From the Story Chart, go to Kinshibori Park (Part 2).

Choose Resume, then the point of "Something's happening to Yoko...". This time, keep trying to talk to her. Move to the newly opened scene on the chart. After the event, move to the next open scene to finish the Prologue and unlock the achievement The Rite of Resurrection.

Harue Shigima - Part 1

When you get control, look to the left of the stereo to find Mocking Bird sticker #1 and unlock the achievement Mocking Chick. Examine Richter for a file, then talk to him until you exhaust all options. Move to the next scene in the Story Chart.

Examine the newspaper on the ground by the table. You can read every section if you wish, but read the Society section three times to progress. Once you've done that, examine the rotary phone.

Outside, examine the Sumida River twice for scenes and files. Examine the Surroundings for another file. Turn around and face away from the river, then look at the first bridge support on your left, then look up - Mocking Bird #18 is on the support. Keep talking to Richter. When you're asked to guess at what Jonouchi is hiding, say "Junouchi silenced Michiyo with blackmail".

This is as far as we can get for now. Press Suspend, and head to Tetsuo's scene next.

Tetsuo Tsutsumi - Part 1

Talk to Erio, and keep going through the options. When asked why the victim was in the park, choose "Someone called him here". Proceed to the next scene. Groove out to the theme that plays and head to Ryogoku Bridge. Keep talking to Erio again, then talk to Yutaro when you get a chance.

You can use your Curse at various points here, though it won't have an effect. Keep progressing to get the achievement Foot-Washing Tsutsumi. Try again and as before, set Voice volume to 0 (you can turn it back on after the scene plays out). Move to the next scene and enter Midoricho Park.

Speak to Araishi, and when prompted, choose "The Record of Fates". At the next question, choose "Curse Stones" and then "Show Curse Stone". At the next prompt, select "Reveal curse details". There's nothing more that can be done in this storyline for now, so move to Yakko Sakazaki's first scene.

Yakko Sakazaki - Part 1

Click on the coin. Recite "Specter of the Spirit Board, Specter of the Spirit Board, please visit us." You need to ask "What is this girl's name?" but you can check the other options first on this and future prompts if you want. Next, ask about "Michiyo's cause of death". Move to the next scene.

Look around and you'll listen in to various groups of students. Once you listen to them all, keep talking to Mio about all available topics. When you can next look around, look up and then turn around for an event. Keep turning until you find Mio. Move to the next scene.

Once inside the classroom, look to the right. Using or not using your curse won't matter. Outside, look around for an event. When prompted, choose "I'm worried about Mio" and continue until you get the achievement One-Sided Yakko. Try again, and this time select "Go home without checking on Mio".

This ends Yakko's story for now. You will earn the Yakko's Friendship achievement. Head back to Harue's story.

Harue Shigima & Tetsuo Tsutsumi - Part 2

Resume from where the story was previously suspended, at the "A Nice Thought" scene on the Story Chart. Select Resume, then "Start From Conversation on the Bridge".

Turn around and speak to the Strange Woman, then continue speaking to her until you can move to the next scene.

Examine the mansion for a new file. Look to the far right on the wall for Mocking Bird #5. Click the entrance to the mansion and go inside, unlocking the achievement Harue's Wish. You will then unlock a new scene for Tetsuo - select it and enter Kinshibori Park.

When you can look around, examine the phone booth. Choose "Wait a little longer" to find Mocking Bird #13. Once you have it, examine the phone booth again and answer the phone. Exhaust all options. You'll earn the Tsutsumi's Investigation achievement when all is said and done.

Player Comments of PARANORMASIGHT:

I was gonna get this on Steam but I have been traveling a lot recently so decided to do it for mobile AND WOW! Port is very smooth. Touch controls feel natural. I only played the first chapter but I'm hooked. The music is beautiful, the art style is nice, the mystery has me wanting more. I highly recommend playing this game blind, you will not be disappointed.

This game is incredible!! I haven't been able to put it down since I started playing yesterday. Absolutely worth the price! Paranormasight has a big supernatural theme in older times of Japan. It's like s murder mystery with a story timeline you can jump around and experiment with. There's also a couple jumpscares, so be warned! But the story is a masterpiece itself, and I highly recommend playing it all the way through (especially the hard to find true ending!!)

Super interesting storyline. While the 'puzzles,' if you could even call them that, were sparse and very quick, they were at least different enough to be fun to discover. The storyline and great artwork alone made this a worthwhile purchase and I'm hoping for more in the future, ideally with longer gameplay and more puzzles, but I adore the folklore concept and just really want that explored more. I also wish there was any kind of reward for finding all of the Mocking Birds in this version.

I found this game randomly after an internet article told me about it. There was nearly no marketing. Unless you are a visual novel fan- this game will be a bore, sad to say. However-- for a VN game- I think it's excellent. Interesting story and I like the re-do button. This game is only for a specific audicence.

Final Thoughts:

PARANORMASIGHT is mainly used for story-driven play rather than quick action sessions. You read dialogue, inspect scenes, and piece together why these characters are chasing ghosts, revenge, or the truth behind strange deaths. It works best for players who like mystery plots with a darker tone and want a game that feels closer to an interactive thriller than a combat-heavy title.
