About the Game
PSYCHEDELIC HORROR STORY
The game tells the story of Patrick Calman, a 31-year-old man who lost his entire family in mysterious circumstances - his parents died in a brutal way, and his sister suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons.
The trauma of losing loved ones shattered Patrick's psyche and turned his own apartment into a prison for him. The only member of Patrick's family left alive is his sister, who disappeared more than 10 years ago.
One day, Patrick receives a phone call, and the voice in the receiver seems to belong to his sister. This one announces her arrival - several years after her disappearance.
The protagonist, suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia, will have to make a difficult decision – whether to stay at home without medication and uncover the dark secret of his neighbor? Or should he buy the medicine and go to meet his missing sister, who, for the first time in ten years, has given a sign of life?
Among all the crazy theories that the main character is living with, this one seems to be the most true. Could the neighbor who haunts Patrick's dreams be hiding a dark secret? Who is she really, and why can't he get her out of his head? Does she even exist, and do we really want to know the answer to that question?

It's cool to play as Vydija's crazy neighbor ♡
p.s: just to be sure everyone knows there are two ways in game if you choose not to leave the apartment when you are leaving for the first time
It has a very intriguing lore connected to the Agony and Succubus universe, as well as a very creepy portrayal of paranoid schizophrenia.
Pretty good
Psychological horror game by a small-mid size studio,
there are bugs it was fixed but not all if I remembered correctly. Reminded me of the game Condemned Criminal Origins, same urban horror atmosphere. Combat could be improve upon, there are two story route with either leaving the apartment or dont, so replay potential. Get it on discount.
I've only played a couple hours so far, and I've encountered some bugs, but overall the game is still rather enjoyable if you are looking for an atmospheric horror. Don't expect it to be pristine, but I think it's a step up in quality from previous Madmind games, and it's an experience even if it is flawed in places.
Storywise this game on its own feels like a horrid chaotic mess, however I assume the other games from this dev expands on the universe in which this game is set - so maybe by playing other games you could at least understand the story ? The bugs are present, it's difficult to click on objects since they feel like out of your reach despite that you clearly standing in front of them. Overall buying this game was not a good choice, not even for the 8 euros, should have kept the money to buy some better one.
good game, would like to see more naughty stuff
There's a pattern with Madmind Studio which is deeply frustrating. And I think we have enough evidence now to call it a pattern - not just a rookie mistake or 'learnings on the journey.' The concept is unique - often brilliant, the trailer hooks everyone in, and then, for reasons which I can't explain, they seem to get 80% into the development journey, lose interest, pivot to the next project and release a bug-riddled, half-baked game.
Paranoid is a frustrating mess. And I say this having played through with all the 2024 patches installed. It feels half-baked, undercooked... Choose your metaphor. But like everything this team touches, there are moments of genuine brilliance and inspiration here. The character's descent into madness, the manifestations of his paranoia, even elements of the combat and puzzle solving are great... But it all just feels like they lost interest through the process. Got bored, had another idea, got more excited by said new idea, and released this in a barely playable state. My times were rough even with the current patches installed - I can't imagine what players were dealing with at launch.
I'm giving this a thumbs down because it feels like a decent idea which was abandoned. And I genuinely want this studio to shine. To stop being distracted by their next idea, and deliver their current one properly. Agony was the same, and I already see them teasing their next project. Guys, please. Hone your focus. Most of us would rather enjoy one genuinely fleshed out, fully completed concept than slog through an endless ossuary of half-finished ideas. Players deserve better, and we know you're capable of it.
iz nice, wasn't bothered at all need more disturbing content... and like have more different ways of finishing the story, hidden stuffs and like that telephone thingy it was pretty cool too bad it didn't change the story. but the whole game itself is really unique, for a broke ass gamer shit this was pretty bomb, bugs? ahh fuck the bugs the whole content was cool so that what probably got my attention. to experience a pov of Patricks life as a MEMORY? poor dude on that dark reality. the government listens through bugs and shit fucking funny my dude Patrick tripping out the whole game. cockroach epidemic, dude actually in a living hell, worth every minute playing it.
Paranoid started off with promise, but quickly became frustrating. After restarting the game on the second day, I encountered constant bugs. I died multiple times from falling through the maps textures, which completely ruined the experience. On top of that, the animations frequently froze, forcing me to restart again. The technical issues really overshadowed any enjoyment I could have had. I love Madmind studio games (Agony and Succubus) but this one was really disappointing.
Compared to previous games, this is the worst so far...Only buy this if it is huge discounted.
The game is buggy,i have to sometime restart the game. Unfortunately cant save game any time...
Hard to find the unrated patch file,last time you can easily get them from their website but they are all gone for some reason.But can find them in their discord.
Although the bads, It is kind of interesting that you can play the 2 parts/endings.
The game is not too expensive,kinda of reasonable but could be better,like more contents etc.
I look forward to their future games.
Awful experience, sad to say. The game was poorly optimized, the story wasn't appealing, bad character animations, too much 'jank'. Their other two games, Agony and Succubus, were pretty cool but this is just not it.
I feel bad for leaving a negative review as I've enjoyed Madmind's game. Found out recently that they're also developing the next Lust series game. To the devs, please take your time and polish the game, I really wish it does not turn out to be another Paranoid 🙏
The game is almost 1 year old, fully abandoned by MadMind and yet a game breaking bug still exists in which the player can't interact with the microwave to progress the story.
Terrible
Good
There are 2 separate games here, depending on a choice you make in the first 10 minutes.
Each game path is approximately 2 hours long, and completely different.
Path Ratings:
1. The first path you stay in your apartment and the game is almost 100% puzzle driven. 8 / 10
2. The second path where you venture outside and get deep down in sewers has much more combat. 5 / 10
+ The story branch of when you stay in the apartment is super disturbing and interesting
+ Lots of disturbing visuals and gore for horror fanatics
+ The whole ambience in the apartment is extremely well done. Playing at 2am in the dark with headphones walking around in circles inside your apartment, watching old VHS tapes on the TV in game, looking through the peepholes, was highly immersive and lots of fun
- This game is probably the worst optimised game I have ever downloaded. Usually I play games 4K on Ultra settings 60hz. This game I had to turn down to medium graphic settings and low on shadows. The framerate was jarring no matter what I did actually.
- There is a demon talking in your head constantly, I had to turn this off in settings because it was annoying with headphones. Interesting game mechanic, but hard to listen to after 1-2 hours.
- I ran into a glitch where the static from a burst out lightbulb would repeat constantly in my headphones.
I had to restart the game a few times because of this glitch.
- The path where you leave the apartment and go into the sewers feels super low budget. Near the end, the last boss is comical and dumb.
- The combat is laughable bad. 1995 did it better.
There are many great aspects of this game to explore, but overall the game needed some more time to bake in the developmental oven before being released to the public. There is immersive fun to be had here though if you are a horror fan and can put up with the poor game optimisation!
