Our take on Paralysis
The emphasis on updates and thrilling moments can make the game sound broader than its current playable scope. The available structure is two modes: 4-versus-1 escape play and a 15-player infection mode.
What is Paralysis?
Paralysis is a first-person multiplayer horror game with two current modes.
In the 4-versus-1 mode, survivors work together to find items that aid their escape while a player-controlled creature hunts them. The 15-player infection mode places an alpha creature among human players, who must be deceived while the creature spreads its infection. Human players receive guns to defend themselves from infected players. The first-person perspective limits what players can see to what the survivor would be able to see, supporting the game's horror-focused presentation. Both modes center on multiplayer encounters involving survivors, creatures, teamwork, escape, deception, or infection.
How Paralysis plays
- 01Asymmetrical Escape Mode
- Four survivors search for items needed to escape while one player-controlled creature tries to pick them off.
- 02Fifteen-Player Infection
- An alpha creature deceives human players and spreads infection while the human players use guns against infected players.
- 03First-Person Perspective
- Each match presents the world through the survivor's own viewpoint.
