Paranautical Activity combines the classic FPS gameplay of games like Doom and Quake, with the randomness and difficulty of modern roguelikes like Binding of Isaac and Spelunky.

The game runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.


It took a bit longer than I expected, but the megaupdate is here! As always, here’s a gameplay video to give you a taste of what to expect in the update.

The changelog for the patch is as follows:

-rebalanced early game to be easier
-rebalanced late game to be harder
-nerfed pretty much every item

-changed health upgrades to give you full heart containers instead of empty ones
-fixed floors occasionally containing only a few rooms
-fixed bombs dealing extra damage to certain bosses and enemies
-fixed long silence between certain songs

-added 2 new floors
-added 10 new items
