Hard to believe it's been 10 years! Though me (Mike) and Travis have moved on from treating Code Avarice as our job, we still enjoy working together on little projects just for the joy of creation. When I noticed towards the end of 2022 that Feb 14, 2023 would be the 10 YEAR anniversary of Paranautical Activity's release, I knew we had to do something cool.
What we came up with was more of a celebration of ALL our time developing games together, rather than being purely about PA. We wanted to take the most iconic and essential piece of all our released games, and mix them into a single (ridiculous) game. We ended up with:
The result is, honestly, way more fun than it has any right to be. And it's so nostalgic to see the old assets, the classic sound effect and text popup for getting items, and just recontextualize all this work that we're so proud of into something that really feels like a celebration.
The game will be coming out on February 14th, 2023. More info to come soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this trailer!
If it looks fun to you, check out the game page for info on Steam and Itchio releases!

- The movement and shooting of Season's Beatings
- The randomized levels and items of Paranautical Activity
- ARKSHOT's multiplayer
