Spooky visual novel Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is steeped in Japanese history.
But the ambiguity surrounding the myths allowed Ishiyama to be creative.
The Sumida River plays a huge part in the game’s plot, both symbolically and physically.
Ishiyama wanted to create these historical links to give the story some realism.
It’s also why the team chose to set the game in the 1980s.
I’m still reeling from that baby reveal.
Collectible stickers called Mocking Birds are the latest craze.
The production of the backgrounds was a huge collaborative effort.
The atmosphere which Paranormasight creates by toeing the line between realism and mystery is delightful and unsettling.
