Paranormal Investigation

Paranormal Investigation is a short point-and-click adventure from 2001. It plays the way the genre did back then: static screens, an inventory to combine, characters to talk to, and puzzles that gate your progress. It was built in Adventure Game Studio and distributed as freeware, and the RONPI.EXE it ships with is a genuine DOS binary compiled with DJGPP and the CWSDPMI extender rather than a Windows build in disguise.

The author is Peter Tomov (Петър Томов), described in the available sources as Bulgarian. The game appeared in November 2001 as the fourteenth entry in Reality-on-the-Norm, a community series in which amateur authors kept adding their own episodes to a shared setting with a recurring cast. Both the Total DOS Collection and MobyGames list it as a DOS title. The scope matches that origin: this is an episode, not a full-length adventure.
