Paranormal Activity Threshold Canceled

Brian Clarke, the solo developer behind DarkStone Digital, announced on May 7, 2026, that development on Paranormal Activity Threshold, an upcoming horror game based on the Paranormal Activity film franchise, has been canceled. The decision followed Paramount's refusal to grant a requested extension on the development timeline.

Clarke detailed the circumstances in a social media post. "It's no secret that game development means constant change and challenges, especially as a solo indie," he wrote. "It became clear that the game needed more time to ensure it was the best it could possibly be. DreadXP stood by my need for more time and, together, we made a request to Paramount for a time extension. Sadly, Paramount did not agree to extend development. This left me with two choices: Rush through development and release a subpar product I would not be proud of, or request we go our separate ways. I chose the latter."

Publisher DreadXP supported Clarke throughout the process, and the parties parted ways with Paramount amicably, according to Clarke. The game's Steam page has since been taken offline.
