PARANORMAL

PARANORMAL is a co-op story-driven horror investigation game on Roblox developed by MetroPunk Studio (lead developer ValentinoFella) using a found-footage aesthetic that sets it apart from typical Roblox horror. Players take on the role of Nathan investigating his sister Elenoire Whitmore's mysterious illness, which has triggered escalating paranormal activity throughout the family home. With 13.3 million visits, 326K favorites, and a 93.8% approval rating, it has become one of the standout horror investigation titles on the platform since its January 2026 public launch.

The game is structured around Acts - distinct narrative chapters inside the Whitmore home. Players search for environmental clues, interact with cursed objects, and survive increasingly aggressive entities. Every session can end differently based on decisions made along the way:

• 🗺️ Multi-act narrative investigation across the Whitmore family home with branching outcomes
• 🎭 Solo or co-op with up to 4 players in the base game - expanding to 6 with the Lobby Pass
• 💎 Multiple endings including the Act 2 Bad Ending based on player choices during investigation
• 💎 Mannequin entities and other paranormal creatures that grow more aggressive as sessions progress
• ⏳ Double XP weekend events that double experience gains for all players
• 💰 Tokens earned from investigations spent in the Store on melee weapon cosmetic skins

The found-footage camera - first-person with realistic shake and grain - is the central differentiator from other Roblox horror games. The Act 1 completion badge has 1.79 million awards compared to Act 2's 252K, showing a steep difficulty escalation that makes progression feel earned. A hidden badge with zero awards hints at unreleased content ahead.

For players drawn to Phasmophobia-style investigation horror, PARANORMAL sits closest to that subgenre on Roblox, competing with titles like Apeirophobia while offering a more narrative-driven experience grounded in the Whitmore family story.
