About PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo

PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is a haunting supernatural mystery-adventure that opens with a chilling question: how far would you go to bring someone back from the dead? Set in the Sumida Ward of Tokyo in the late 20th century, it draws on the real-life urban legend of the Seven Mysteries of Honjo, weaving in a Rite of Resurrection that pits people who wield the power to curse against one another.

The story begins with Shogo Okiie, an ordinary office worker who visits Kinshibori Park in the dead of night with his friend Yoko Fukunaga to investigate the famous local ghost story. Shogo doubts Yoko's claim that the Mysteries are tied to the Rite of Resurrection, right up until strange events start unfolding before his eyes. He is not the only one drawn in, though. Detectives probing a series of odd deaths, a high-school girl chasing the truth behind a classmate's suicide, and a mother sworn to avenge her lost son all pursue their own investigations.

These desires and motives intertwine with the Seven Mysteries at their core, driving a plot full of twists and turns. Blending adventure, role-playing and simulation elements on PC, the game asks you to unravel the hopes, dreams and fears of a memorable cast caught in the grip of deadly curses, and to lead the story to its conclusion by your own hand.
