After working on it for almost a year, an Indie Developer has created a real-as-life body cam-style horror game that is already giving nightmares to the community. The game has the old uncanny video tape movie vibes such as the Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activities. 

Body cam games are seeing quite a surge in recent times. These games have visuals inspired by real-life body cam footage. The grungy visuals mixed with a first-person camera perspective make these games feel a little too real to be video games. 

Previously, another FPS Body cam-style game had made the internet stand on its toes. That game’s visuals and physics were so uncanny that some users had told that it wasn’t a game but a “Murder Simulator”. The uncanny visuals are a little too “uncanny”.

This time, this game has made Horror Game fans excited for all the right reasons. The visuals and the overall feel of the game are just too good to ignore. The Developers @DontPlayPT have been working on “Paranormal Tales” for almost a year. They teased the horror game by sharing a clip on Twitter. 

Real as Life Body Cam Horror game made the fans shudder in fear

On November 6, 2022, internet game journalist Jake Lucky shared the clip “Paranormal Tales” on his Twitter account. He reported, “These indie devs have worked nearly a year on a body cam styled Horror game on Unreal Engine 5.” He gave an estimated release date for the game, which is expected to be out in 2023.

Jake also invited streamers to get early access to the horror game, “If any streamer wants early access, reply here.” As streamers are a significant aspect of promoting games and raising awareness, the developers @DontPlayPT collaborated with Jake to get some streamers to play the game. 

How did fans react to the game? 

Fans were ecstatic about the game. The people expressed their excitement at Jake’s post. They were afraid, but at the same time very curious about the game. They promised that they give the horror game a shot once it releases. 

Many streamers also responded to Jake’s invitation and said they would love to stream this game. The anticipation and hype that this game received in the initial tease gives an idea that the Body Cam games have the potential to become mainstream in the near future.
