Our take on Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul
The game leaves navigation and story discovery to exploration, with no on-screen directions after the tutorial. That choice preserves an uncluttered view, but gives less direct guidance while searching the house.
What is Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul?
Explore a house in a wooded neighborhood with a flashlight that uses batteries, looking for clues to uncover what happened there while trying to survive.
With limited tools, the gameplay centers on running or hiding from an enemy and exploring the house to find the story. Scares can occur at random as well as during story events, so their timing and frequency vary. There are no quick-time events, and the player discovers the story and item locations through exploration. Play with a keyboard and mouse or a controller without a VR headset, or switch to VR mode. After a tutorial, the game provides no on-screen directions or HUD.
