“Yeah No Thank You” – Bodycam Styled Horror Game With Facial Recognition Is Repelling Gamers

In the world of gaming, bodycam games are the ones that are currently taking the spotlight. Changing the perspective of players into a hyper-realistic-looking vintage bodycam angle is making the thin veil between virtual reality and reality even more transparent. While the implications of this new innovation are limitless, horror games are one of the genres that have the most potential to exploit it.

And with that in mind, an indie development studio has begun creating a hyper-realistic bodycam horror game that will make the internet tremble while running away in fear. With a short teaser, the game has managed to awaken a strong sense of dread and horror in the minds of players.

The internet is speechless seeing a realistic bodycam horror game

On April 22, 2023, internet drama reporter and journalist Jake Lucky posted a small report about an upcoming bodycam-style game name, “Paranorlam Tales”. “This indie dev is making a bodycam styled horror game on Unreal Engine 5 with a camera’s facial recognition feature… Nah man I’m good no thank you,” said Jake. 

Paranormal Tales is currently in development by Digital Cybercherries Studios. The official Steam page description of the game says, “Paranormal Tales is a next-gen horror game based on found footage built in Unreal Engine 5. You experience and play through each tragic tale of those who went missing from the viewpoint of bodycams, phones, and VHS cameras.” 

The official Twitter page of the game shared a hilarious jab at all the scarring fans, saying “We accept no responsibility for any underwear that may become unusable should you play our game,” throwing an open challenge to all the players and daring them to play their game once it is out.

This is not the first bodycam game that has shocked the fans

Other than Paranormal Tales, another bodycam game that has been very hyped by the community is, Unrecorded. In this, players have to play through the bodycam footage of a cop. Using the same innovation, the devs have managed to create a hyper-realistic shooter that simulated the heart-pumping experience of being a cop. 

“Unrecord is a single-player FPS that tells the story of a tactical police officer from the perspective of his body camera. As you work to solve a complex case, you’ll need to use your tactical and detective skills to succeed.” says the official Steam description of the game. It is also in the development phase with an indefinite release date.
