Paranautical Activity returns to Steam

Paranautical Activity – the game that was banned from Steam when its creator threatened to kill Valve’s Gabe Newell – has returned to the Steam store.

The game has endured several transitions since the threat against Newell was made, including the selling of its rights by original developer Code Avarice to the new rights owner Digerati Distribution.

Under these conditions, Valve has allowed the game back onto Steam’s store. Paranautical Activity remains available on GOG as well.

Digerati is celebrating the return with the release of Paranautical Activity: Deluxe Atonement Edition, an updated version of the game that adds a new level type, weapon and item.

Here’s the trailer for the re-release:
