    Great game that is getting review bombed for some reason with 1/10 ratings. If you enjoy games like 999, ai: somnium files and danganronpa this one should be right up your alley.

    Idk who is giving this game negative reviews but they did not play it there is absolutely no way this game being 15.99 and the story I just witnessed could be rated negative. I can’t even see this game getting a 7/10 but out of the fact that not everyone likes the same thing that is the absolute lowest I could see someone rating this game.

    Paranormasight is a work of art that sets the gold standard for visual novels. Its web of storylines is seamlessly blending reality and imagination. The captivating atmosphere makes it a must-play for anyone with a keen interest of the supernatural and occult.

    Although the peak of it's gameplay is in it's prologue, Paranormasight offers a intriguing mystery/horror story, with a well-written cast and beautiful art direction.

    It's really good. II think is Better to go blind. Cuanto más a ciegas vayas más lo vas a disfrutar, para fans de jeugos como zero escape o ace attorney.

    I enjoyed this; however, i was expecting an end game twist which could’ve given this game 10/10.

    Great game! I had a few jump scares in the beginning got my blood pumping.
    I do wish we had the perspective of a certain main character. If we did it would have been perfect score from me :)

    Un juegazo, una joya que pasará desapercibida para muchos. Como dicen las demás reviews, mejor jugarlo sin tener ni idea. Sorprende con sus giros y con el uso de la interfaz. Muy muy recomendado.

    I made an account just for this game because it is a crime that it's so underrated and unknown. I get visual novel esque games aren't for everyone, but this is one of the best of the bests in it's genre.

    Over the course of about 10 hours, Paranormasight delivers what is undoubtedly one of the surprise gems of the year and represents a true triumph within the Japanese horror genre. Fans of both adventure games and visual novels should sink their teeth into this Western debut from a much-lauded visual novel dev team! [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 23]

    A gripping mystery visual novel that enriches the exciting story with a few clever puzzles, the latter of which unfortunately falls short over the entire duration of the game.

    PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is a striking mix between visual novel and graphic adventure with small touches of horror and totally new mechanics for the genre.
