About This Game

A Psychological Horror Experience About Memory

Paramnesia is a first-person psychological horror game centered on exploration, perception, and fragmented memory. Players move through unsettling environments where reality feels unstable, uncovering clues that blur the line between what is remembered and what is imagined.

The experience focuses on tension and unease rather than combat or constant threats.

Exploration-Driven Horror

Gameplay emphasizes slow exploration and observation. Progress comes from navigating environments, discovering subtle changes, and piecing together meaning from visual and environmental cues.

There are no reflex-heavy mechanics — the horror emerges from atmosphere, uncertainty, and psychological pressure.

Unsettling Atmosphere and Immersion

Paramnesia relies heavily on sound design, lighting, and pacing to create a persistent sense of dread. The environments feel familiar yet wrong, reinforcing the game’s themes of memory distortion and psychological instability.

This is a single-player horror experience designed for players who enjoy immersive, slow-burn psychological horror.
