Press release:
The Poland-based video game publisher and indie games developer Madmind Studio are today very happy and excited to present some new info and a brand new trailer for their upcoming first-person survival horror game “PARANOID” (which by the way, takes place in the 1980s).
The game combines an extensive, psychological story with dynamic and brutal combat, and is planned to launch exclusively on Steam.
The game is designed with the next-gen hardware in mind, featuring raytracing and 4K resolution. The trailer is focused on introducing our protagonist – Patrick, showing his struggles with a progressing mental illness.

One day Patrick gets a call, and the voice on the phone seems to belong to his sister. Thirteen years after the disappearance, she announces her comeback. To learn the truth about everything, Patrick will have to leave his secluded life, exposing himself to horrible experiences that will put him on the verge of madness.
