Press release:
TOKYO – April 24, 2023.
The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games developer EALoGAMES today announced with great thrill and happiness that their co-op survival horror game “Paranormal Hunter” (which is inspired by Japanese folklore and horror cinema) is coming to PC via Steam Early Access on May 22nd, 2023.

The dread will spread onto PlayStation 5|4 and Nintendo Switch alongside a PC 1.0 release in late 2023.

Step into a wicked realm of paranormal phenomena in insidious environments brought to life with immersive VR support. Explore terrifying locations alone or with up to four friends in online co-op while carrying out spine-chilling investigations. Scour each stage for key objects and clues before completing a banishing ritual capable of eradicating the evil ghosts that stalk each location, all while a fearsome presence pursues the party with murderous intent.

Equip investigative tools to detect otherworldly disturbances and stay alert for things that go bump in the night. Discern the difference between creaking floors and spectral moans while unlocking doors and progressing deeper into distributing environments.

Shine spirit-repelling flashlights to fight back against unwelcome entities, tune ghost sensors, and coordinate with fellow investigators to collect cursed items and earn extra cash between missions.

Race against the clock to perform banishing rituals before malevolent spirits capture the party. A single unfortunate encounter with a ghostly pursuer sends humans into a crippling stupor, damaging their sanity and threatening to send them to an early grave.

Revive co-op partners from death by dread quickly and stay cautious during investigations to increase the odds of survival. Enjoy a tense and terrifying specter-hunting experience with crossplay for both VR devices and keyboard/gamepad users, allowing everyone to steel their nerves and become a Paranormal Hunter.

“We wanted to create an authentic, immersive experience inspired by both Japanese and Western horror imagery,” said Takatoshi Tatsusuremi, founder, EALoGames.

“We invite players to bring their friends into the terrifying world of Paranormal Hunter when it arrives on Steam Early Access this May.”

Paranormal Hunter launches on Steam Early Access on Monday, May 22, 2023, for $9.99, with VR support for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality devices. It will offer English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese-language support.
