Supernormal is a short psychological horror game with a tense, unsettling atmosphere—but unfortunately, it ends up feeling quite boring. It leans into subtle scares and a PT-inspired vibe, but the slow pacing and lack of real payoff drag it down. The story unfolds through exploration, but there’s not much depth or engagement. It’s a forgettable experience that doesn’t really live up to its eerie premise.

About This Game
SOLVE THE CASE
Your detective skills shape the story, leading to one of two different endings. It all depends on the number of clues you discover and how observant you are.
VOICE RECOGNITION
Communicate with the paranormal entities using your microphone. Will they offer crucial clues or mislead you into dead ends?
MICROPHONE DETECTION
Engage with the paranormal, but remember this crucial rule: if they unveil their presence and hear you, STAY QUIET and DON'T MOVE, or risk altering the game's ominous outcome.
PHOTOSCANNED GRAPHICS
Using Unreal Engine 5, the game is set in a hyper-realistic environment. It also uses photo scanned graphics to enhance every tiny detail, including the horror!
RANDOMIZED PARANORMAL EVENTS
Introduces unpredictable, spine-chilling encounters that are randomly generated throughout the gameplay. No two scares are alike, intensifying the terror and replayability.
SUPERNORMAL OFFERS ABOUT 2 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY AND COMBINES DETECTIVE WORK WITH PUZZLE-SOLVING IN A HORROR SETTING. EXPECT TO SEARCH FOR CLUES AND SOLVE PUZZLES TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE GAME.

[code]I might be the unpopular opinion here but I’m going to be honest about this game. While the concept is interesting (using voice to communicate with the ghost and trying to solve the mystery behind the girl's disappearance) the game just doesn’t deliver any real scares or a sense of progression. It’s basically a walking simulator with cheap "jumpscares" that don’t actually scare you. The ghost is more cute than creepy, and the animations are kind of awkward. I got bored pretty quickly and played for only about two hours to unlock all the achievements. I wouldn’t recommend buying this game. The story also felt inconsistent and I would have preferred more exploration, hidden documents and actual puzzles to piece the story together myself instead of the rushed ending. Also, let’s be honest: the whole "using the camera" mechanic was boring. The character doesn’t even run and walking back and forth to mess with the lights just added another layer of tedium. The ending w...
Borderline recommend, Feels impossible to get the good ending and the gameplay loop is good for one go, but not worth replaying to get the good ending. Just try not to die first run lol.
Super Normal isn’t really a horror game—it’s just a super accurate roommate simulator, where some tall freak keeps moving your furniture around, breathing heavily in the hallway, and popping up in the bathroom mirror like they don’t understand the concept of personal space. The real terror isn’t the monster itself, it’s realizing you’re basically paying rent to live with a shape-shifting parasite who won’t do the dishes and insists on jump-scaring you every time you try to relax. Honestly, 10/10, scarier than college housing and slightly cheaper.
Great short game, great atmosphere that holds you for the entire playthrough, graphics are really good and the sound design is top notch. It is a walking simulator with some but very little hiding mechanics so keep that in mind. Enjoyed the game to the fullest and can't wait to play more games by the developer.
Supernormal is a short but chilling first-person psychological horror experience that takes place almost entirely within the confines of a single, modern Japanese apartment. What makes the game immediately arresting is its attention to visual detail. Every room is rendered with photorealistic care, filled with crisp lighting, believable furniture layouts, and a lived-in atmosphere that feels disturbingly normal—until it doesn’t. That sense of creeping dread builds slowly as the player, stepping into the shoes of Detective Wyatt, investigates the mysterious disappearance of a young girl. The mystery unfolds not through dialogue or cutscenes, but through environmental clues and unnerving events that escalate with careful pacing. The contrast between the sterile normalcy of the space and the supernatural elements that begin to surface makes for a uniquely immersive horror experience. As the game progresses, it becomes clear that the apartment is not just a location, but a character i...
