Paranormal Activity: Threshold follows Daniel and Jessica Stewart as they record the process of remodeling their first home. The more they document their renovations, the more they realize that the house is hiding much more than just asbestos and faulty wiring. Their excitement turns into concern as they uncover strange markings and items hidden within the walls, revealing that they’re not the only inhabitants of their new home. The couple is unprepared for the horrifying events that follow, as they sink deeper into the influences of the dark presence residing there.

Upon its release in 2022, Clarke’s The Mortuary Assistant was a breakout horror title, amassing millions of plays and a dedicated fanbase, and has continued to stand out as one of the top games in the genre. Known for his signature approach to fear and immersion, utilizing an unnerving atmosphere and innovative scares, Clarke is taking everything he learned from The Mortuary Assistant to deliver a uniquely unsettling experience, expanding on the Paranormal Activity franchise’s legacy of found-footage horror in fresh, frightening ways.
