The game, which is built in Unreal Engine 5, will consist of different chapters, each presented as a piece of “lost footage” obtained by a group called the “Paranormal Tales Committee.” In each episode, players will step into the shoes of the person wearing the bodycam and “experience” the action from their perspectives, adding feelings of realism and voyeurism to the horror.
