TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The creator of The Mortuary Assistant, Brian Clarke, announced that the licensed Paranormal Activity game, Paranormal Activity: Threshold, is officially finished. Development was halted due to a lack of time and complications arising from the Warner Bros. acquisition by Paramount Skydance. Clarke expressed a desire to explore new ideas rather than rush the game to meet a release deadline.
