- New game: Escape the Flood! - 30 July 2026
Hi everyone, The Steam page for my next game is up. Escape the Flood! is a first person survival crafting game. You wash ashore on a procedurally generated island while the ocean is rising, gather what you can find, and build a boat before the water covers everything. You can play alone or with up to three other people. There is one boat. It has nothing to do with Paranormal Observation, and it is also the first game I am not making on my own. I am building it together with Orys, published under Frosthain. Early Access starts in November 2026. Store page and wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4981810/Escape_the_Flood/ Wishlists are pretty much the main thing that decides whether Steam shows a small game to anyone at launch, so if it looks interesting to you, adding it helps. Thanks, Platuro
- The Unseen Update - 23 March 2026
Hello Ghost Hunters, It's been a while since the last update. Life got in the way, but I never stopped thinking about the game. I've been working on a bunch of improvements behind the scenes, and I'm happy to finally bring them to you. This update focuses on making investigations more intense and unpredictable. Ghosts now have new unique abilities, your sanity can play tricks on you, and the difficulty balance has been reworked. On top of that, I've fixed voice recognition, added full gamepad support, and corrected translations across all 9 languages. Thank you for sticking around and for all the feedback. It really means a lot. Hallucination SystemNew hallucination system that triggers based on your sanity levelThree tiers of hallucinations: whispers, fake ghost activity with flickering lights, and fake hunt warningsThe lower your sanity, the more frequent and intense the hallucination…

- The Release Update! - 26 April 2024
Hello Ghost Hunters, Today I will introduce you to the next update! Today I finally want to take the step and go from Early Access to the final release. The reason for this decision is that I want to look ahead and have started new projects. Through Paranormal Observation I have learned a lot and gained experience for the future. The success of the game has been far greater than I could have dreamed and the feedback has been extremely helpful. I thank each and every one of you for your help and support. It is not the complete end of the game, updates will surely follow. The old level data is now immortalized on: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/2150950/leaderboards/9904140/ and the release starts with a new save file. A Police Map has been added.

- The release from Early Access will take place soon! - 25 April 2024
Hello Ghost Hunters, You haven't heard from me for a long time. But now it will happen soon, the release of the game from Early Access. The reason for my long offline activity is that other things have become more important in my life now, I want to take the official step and go out of Early Access with the game because I just can't spend as much time on the game as before. The game will of course still be maintained by me and it's not the end of updates, but I think it's a good time to leave Early Access. I will comment further on this in the official release post. It is quite possible that the official release will happen in the next 24 hours. The savegame will be reset. If you still want to level up, you can do so now and immortalize yourself on the list here: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/2150950/leaderboards/9904140 If you have any problems or want to give feedback, you can join…
- Halloween is over - 17 November 2023
Halloween is sadly over this year, so the Halloween content has been removed
- Halloween Update + 1 year later | 10/25/2023 - 25 October 2023
Hello Ghost Hunters, A year ago I released the game, and the response to the game was much better than I ever expected. I had originally released the game as a demo on another platform. The game was hardly downloaded there and the interest was not very high. Maybe 2-3 people were waiting for the full version. I created this game because I wanted to make something different from the other ghost games. I originally planned to release a major update for this event. But unfortunately I can't find the time like I had when I started it. There will be more updates with content, some things are already programmed, but will not be with this update because the new content is still too unstable. I hope that there are no major problems with this Halloween update, because I could create a patch only on Sunday but before the actual Halloween day. The game will be fully released when I think it's good…
