Paranormal is a story-driven horror survival game where you play as Nathan, trying to rescue your sister from a demon inside a haunted house. Unlike casual Roblox horror games, this one focuses heavily on tension, resource management, and environmental puzzles.
This guide explains everything beginners should know before starting their first run.
How the Game Works
Paranormal is structured as a linear story experience divided into two acts.
The first act, called Mind Games, focuses on exploring the haunted house and learning the mechanics.
The second act, Ghost Hunters, introduces more intense encounters and progression toward the main objective.
Your main goal is to move through the house, solve puzzles, avoid dangers, and eventually rescue your sister.
Starting Equipment — Flashlight and Battery Management
At the beginning, your only tool is a flashlight.
The flashlight has limited battery power, which means you cannot leave it on constantly. Managing battery usage is one of the most important survival skills.
Turning it on only when necessary helps conserve power for darker areas and dangerous moments.
Searching for Supplies
Exploration plays a major role in survival.
You should open every drawer, cabinet, and container you find. These often contain useful resources such as batteries, ammunition, tokens, and other important items.
Missing supplies can make later sections much harder.
What Tokens Are Used For
Tokens are a valuable currency in the game.
During your run, you will encounter a token market where you can spend them.
You can use tokens to purchase:
Health restoration items
Ammunition for your weapon
Extra flashlight batteries
Because resources are limited, spending tokens wisely is very important.
Code Rewards and Early Advantages
The game includes a redeemable code system.
Active codes can provide extra tokens, giving you a small advantage early in the game.
Using codes at the start can make your first run more manageable.
Understanding the Core Gameplay Loop
The main gameplay revolves around three activities.
Exploring the haunted house to find clues and supplies.
Solving environmental puzzles to progress through the story.
Avoiding hostile entities while managing limited resources.
Balancing these elements is key to survival.
PC Controls Overview
Knowing the controls is essential for reacting quickly during intense moments.
F toggles the flashlight.
E is used to interact with objects.
Q drops items.
Holding Control allows crouching.
Left mouse button is used for equipping items or attacking.
Spacebar is used for blocking.
Learning these controls early helps avoid mistakes during dangerous encounters.
Survival Tips for Beginners
Managing resources carefully is the most important aspect of survival.
Avoid wasting flashlight battery unnecessarily.
Always search rooms thoroughly for supplies.
Stay calm during sudden scares and focus on finding safe routes.
Do not spend tokens randomly, as they are difficult to replace.
