6 itemsAbout the Game
PANAME is an experimental simulation / sandbox set in a stylized version of Paris, recreated with a retro PS1 / low-poly aesthetic.
The player freely explores the city with no imposed objectives, within a contemplative atmosphere. The game focuses on mood, wandering, and the feeling of being immersed in a familiar environment.
Gameplay & Experience
Designed as an atmospheric simulation / sandbox experience.
No traditional constraints are imposed: no timer, no predefined path. You explore different neighborhoods at your own pace, guided purely by curiosity.
Interact with the locals, observe their behaviors, and discover small, everyday situations that bring the city to life.
Discover a variety of mini-games scattered throughout the city as you explore.
Secrets & References
The game encourages curiosity and careful exploration. By roaming the city, you can uncover hidden secrets, easter eggs, and references inspired by internet culture, content creators, and personalities connected to Paris.
Some references are obvious, while others are much more subtle and reveal themselves only to the most attentive players.
About Development
The game is currently in development and will continue to evolve over time. New mechanics, areas, or interactions may be added or adjusted as the project progresses.
