Paramnesia: Escape Together is an online co-op escape room for two to four players. Set in 1948, it casts you as a squad of investigators searching for a missing priest who end up trapped in a shifting, surreal space, finding notes signed with their own names. Three of its levels need teamwork to pass; the other seven can be done alone, so it really suits a small group.
Only 13 players have reviewed it, and 12 recommend it. SteamSpy tags point to exploration, investigation and logic, with a strong surreal and psychological horror flavour. The store pitches an endless corridor, phantom walls, nested puzzles and a 3D maze, plus character secrets and branching endings. The lone written review simply calls it fun enough.
There is too little feedback to judge puzzle fairness or polish, and it cannot be fully played solo. Positive reviewers spent around three hours with it. Worth a look for a group that wants a strange, story-led co-op mystery at a modest price; solo players should look elsewhere.
Pros
- Co-op for up to four with levels built around teamwork
- Surreal spaces: endless corridor, phantom walls, 3D maze
- Hidden character identities and branching endings
Cons
- Three levels cannot be finished solo
- Very few reviews, so quality is hard to judge
