A downloadable game for Windows

PAREIDOLIA | OFFICIAL GAME TRAILER | 04.12.25



Pareidolia is a first-person horror game inspired by the Bélmez Faces. The game takes place in an “ordinary” suburban home that is slowly being transformed and infected by face-like stains. Players must try and go about their daily routine by finishing chores, all the while trying to ignore the ever-growing presence of the stains that seem to be multiplying by the hour.

This cross-discipline video game development project is in collaboration with the University of Toronto Computer Science Program, the University of Toronto Faculty of Music, and OCAD University.

nice game

Came from Clock's stream, tried downloading twice, just got a bunch of files and no game, is there a specific one I choose or is this a bug?

Make sure to download the "Pareidolia | Official Download | LATEST BUILD". This being part of a school program we had to have all of our builds and documents uploaded for grading so I'll go ahead and hide all of the old stuff
