After a long and dedicated development journey, we are happy to finally release Psychoscopy in its full version.
Since day one, we have worked to bring all of our ideas to life and enrich the world of the game as much as possible. Along the way, we have carefully listened to your feedback to improve the experience, making the gameplay smoother and incorporating many of the features you asked for.
With Psychoscopy, we set out to go beyond traditional horror games, aiming to deliver a different and unforgettable experience. This journey into the depths of the mind wasn’t just about fear; we wanted to provoke thought, evoke discomfort, and spark curiosity. We envisioned a world where players could track ghosts and capture their presence on camera, discover hidden items and companions, communicate with spirits through equipments, and even perform rituals to banish them, a fully interactive experience where every moment invites exploration.
We want to thank everyone who stood by us and supported us throughout this process.
