ZigZaGame, the Japanese studio behind the popular Evertale, has unveiled its newest mobile title, Paranoize, now available for pre-registration on Android and iOS platforms. Set in a post-cataclysmic Japan, Paranoize introduces players to a world reshaped by a mysterious object that fell from the sky over a decade ago. The lore is about a blind swordsman guided by an enigmatic voice, blending supernatural intrigue with coming-of-age drama in a format the developers call a “cinematic comic RPG.”
What sets Paranoize apart is its episodic manga-style storytelling, delivered through fully voiced animated sequences. The game boasts an impressive Japanese voice cast, including Junya Enoki, Mariya Ise, and Takahiro Sakurai, while the soundtrack is helmed by Naoki Satō, a Japan Academy Prize-winning composer known for his work on Rurouni Kenshin and Stand By Me Doraemon.
Gameplay-wise, Paranoize incorporates monster collecting and turn-based combat, reminiscent of titles like Evertale, AFK Arena, and Another Eden. Players can expect a mix of strategic battles, character progression, and narrative choices that influence the unfolding story. The game’s visual identity leans heavily into stylized manga panels, offering a unique aesthetic that blurs the line between comic and game.
Pre-registration is currently open globally, though some regional restrictions may apply depending on app store availability. Players in regions like Japan, North America, and parts of Europe are confirmed to have access, while others may need to wait for a broader rollout. Interested users can sign up via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
