About the Game

Paranormal Archives is a psychological horror experience where space, memory, and reality quietly unravel around you.

You awaken inside a circular hall, surrounded by twelve identical corridors. Only one of them is real.
The others are lies — or traps.

Each correct path reshapes the world.
New objects appear in the hall.
Documents emerge, whispering about experiments, about a captured seraph… and about a forbidden name.

But every wrong turn resets everything.

No monsters are chasing you.
No combat.
Only silence, distorted space, and the subtle anomalies that reveal which corridor is true — and which ones exist only to deceive you.

The only safe path is the one untouched by corruption.
The one that feels normal.

As you progress, the hall transforms.
The archive grows.
A dome forms at the center.
And inside it… something waits.

An angel, broken and bound.
Tortured for a single purpose: to reveal a name.
A name no one should ever hear.

Features :

🕯️ Immersive first-person exploration — move through twisting corridors, hidden alcoves, and endless hallways.

🔍 Subtle anomalies — shadows, flickers, misplaced objects, spatial inconsistencies.

📜 Evolving central hall — each correct choice adds a new object, unveiling more of the hidden archive.

🎧 Minimalist but heavy atmosphere — sound design and environmental storytelling carry the horror.

---------------------------------------

🕰️ Looped, shifting environment — return to places altered subtly, forcing careful attention and memory.
