Psychopathy Assessment: A very disturbing PSX Retro Horror Game. Out now!

Prepare to dive into a psychological horror experience like no other with Psychopathy Assessment, the latest indie horror title available now on all platforms, including Steam and Itch.io. Created by solo developer Tarba Paul Cornel under Galactic Crows, this disturbing and twisted retro-80s V.H.S PS1-style analog horror game places players at the center of a chilling psychopathy test where every choice they make has profound and terrifying consequences.


A Distorted Reality Wrapped in VHS Nostalgia


Set against the backdrop of an eerie VHS aesthetic, Psychopathy Assessment combines the unsettling vibe of 1980s analog horror with a deeply immersive psychological experience. As the screen flickers and the tape distorts, players are subjected to a series of questions that delve into their darkest thoughts and impulses. But this isn't just a simple personality quiz—it's a psychopathy exam with stakes far beyond any diagnosis.


The game’s unique presentation, with its realistic VHS effects and retro PS1-style graphics, amplifies the unnerving atmosphere. As players progress deeper into the test, the visuals become increasingly warped, adding layers of tension and unpredictability that ensure every moment is disturbingly unsettling.


Gameplay: Where Choices Haunt You


In Psychopathy Assessment, every choice matters. As players respond to each probing question, the game dynamically shifts, with their answers altering both the atmosphere and their final outcome. With multiple endings, no two playthroughs are the same, ensuring that each player's journey through this psychological maze is uniquely terrifying.


Once the test is complete, the game delivers a shocking twist, transitioning into PS1-style gameplay where players embody a character living through the horrifying consequences of their test results. This seamless shift from a psychological examination to a story-driven horror experience keeps players on edge from beginning to end, ensuring they never feel safe.
