Paratopic feels like digging up some cursed VHS and deciding “yeah I’ll watch this” and then regretting it in the best way. Cuts make no sense, characters talk like something’s wrong, and you’re just there trying to piece it together while the game quietly messes with your head. No cheap jumpscares, just pure off-feeling that keeps getting worse the longer you sit with it. It’s over fast, but it leaves that nasty “what the hell was that” stuck in your brain way longer than it should. legit one of the best short indie horror things I’ve played. 8.5/10, feels wrong and works.
[h1]FR/EN Paratopic[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3712134160 [h3]---FR---[/h3] Paratopic est un petit jeu avec une ambiance atypique. On est lancé dans cette histoire narrative sombre et on enchaîne les dialogues et les phases de déplacement libre en suivant les instructions. Les graphismes sont volontairement sommaires avec un aspect pixélisés sur les textures. On suit cette histoire horrifique dans le couloir narratif jusqu'au dénouement final. [h3]---EN---[/h3] Paratopic is a small game with an unusual atmosphere. You're thrown into this dark narrative, navigating dialogues and free-roaming sections while following instructions. The graphics are intentionally basic, with pixelated textures. You follow this horror story along the narrative corridor until the final denouement. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3712134108 [h3]---FR---[/h3] Il faudra compter entre 30 minutes et 1 heure pour boucler l'aventure. Les chasseurs de succès devront passer un petit peu plus de temps sur le jeu pour glaner les succès manqués. Au final il s'agit dune courte expérience narrative plus qu'un jeu qu'il faudra réserver aux amateurs d'expériences non conformistes et dérangeantes. [h3]---EN---[/h3] It will take between 30 minutes and an hour to complete the adventure. Achievement hunters will need to spend a little more time on the game to collect any missed achievements. Ultimately, it's more of a short narrative experience than a full-fledged game, best suited for those who enjoy unconventional and disturbing experiences. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3712134068
Wie ein guter Film den man sich mehrmals anschaut und ihn trotzdem nie so ganz versteht. Ein Mal durchspielen reicht nicht. Ist sein Geld definitiv wert, auch wenn es nur knapp eine Stunde lang ist. Aber man spielt es eh mindestens 2 mal.
No entiendo nada, pero está pila guapo
I only played this so I could watch a youtube video analyzing it
Lynch would def love this
.
Bizarrely engrossing, gorgeous, and also what the ♥♥♥♥ is going on?
Alucinante
This game is awesome. The suspense and horror elements are really chilling at times and the story (which makes a lot more sense after a second run) is genuinely super interesting and paired with an excellent setting.
