10 Hidden Gem Video Games Of 2023

Pro tip to any aspiring writers out there - when creating a list-based article, try not to include more than one game that the reader's better off going into blind. It's worth mentioning this because, like Void Stranger before it, Paranormasight is one of those games that's best appreciated the less you know going in.

And, again like Void Stranger before it, this makes Paranormasight a bugger to actually talk about.

Having got that out the way, one thing that it's safe to say is that Square Enix's game is a treat for even the most hardened Visual Novel veteran. The developers break the mold from the very first scene, and there's an early moment that plays a trick with perspective that will leave you grinning in anticipation for the many other rug-pulls the game has in store for you.

In a strong year for Visual Novels (Slay The Princess, Mediterranea Inferno), Paranormasight managed to top the competition through its unsettling atmosphere and clever twists on the format. A treat for Visual Novel enthusiasts and neophytes alike, the only negative is that if you've never played a visual novel before then Paranormasight will give you unrealistically high expectations of the genre.
