Paratopic
Author: ArbitraryMetric
"Paratopic is a short first-person horror game which draws ideas from Thirty Flights Of Loving but takes them somewhere terrible, leading them down an alley and through an unmarked door into a world which looks a bit like ours but just isn’t right."
- Rock, Paper, Shotgun
"Paratopic brilliantly plays on horror imagery and freaky sound design to put you inside of a nightmare place." - Waypoint
"Paratopic‘s city is a sooty husk, a ruin whose scarce inhabitants eke out day-to-day existence by taking dangerous smuggling jobs, murdering for money, or reconfiguring their flesh in agonized cathode-ray rapture." - Heterotopias
As an assassin prepares for her kill, a man is strong-armed into smuggling contraband VHS tapes over the border, and a young girl finds the rusted remnants of illicit industry deep in a dark forest.
Paratopic is a short but dynamic and detailed 30-50 minute game.
Paratopic is currently available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
