About 45 minutes or so into PARANORMASIGHT, I had an experience that I have since described as "getting videogamed". It's a great moment in which it becomes clear that this period horror VN embraces its medium. Touches of that can be light, as in the impressive visual illusions of camera work that cut, pan, and zoom, or heavy, as with the many puzzles that require the player to adjust timelines and characters in order to progress the story. It's a satisfying mix of art and mechanics put to narrative use, and as a result this one comes out with even more substance than it has style.
