Paratopic: Overdub has about 52 positive and 17 negative player reviews out of a total 69. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.
The tapes return.
Paratopic: Overdub reinvents the award-winning 2018 liminal horror classic: a twisting 3-in-1 remaster, remix, and sequel to the original.
A first-person narrative horror game, now with fresh textures and animations, environments, characters, and more secrets to discover. A surreal journey to the end of the night. Nothing is certain, nothing is true except for the narrative you piece together.
Country drives. Longwinded clerks. Sightseeing. Solitaire. Murder. A cut-up travelogue through the skeleton of Americana—a land of motels, gas stations, late-night diners, and dead industry.
concerning
From making numerous game-of-the-year lists and winning the 2019 Independent Game Festival excellence in audio award to influencing the retro horror boom, Paratopic is a landmark in independent horror games.
Paratopic: Overdub takes you back. Rewind. Look closer. Keep watching
