Pacify

Pacify casts you as a new hire at Paranormal Activity Helpers Incorporated. The job's first mission is a haunted house once owned by a funeral parlor that rumor says offered last conversations with dead loved ones for a price. Several customers and the owners vanished after a ritual went wrong, and over the past century investigators have stopped coming back.

The gameplay loop has you searching the cramped corridors of the old house for clues, keys, dolls, wood and matches while staying out of sight of a little girl who shifts between innocent and predatory states. Finding the right ritual setup lets you pacify her, but every loud action or careless step pulls her toward your group. Notes scattered through the building explain the pacification mechanic in fragments.

Four missions now ship across the game, each with its own paranormal entity to capture, unique environment and gameplay variant. Single-player makes you do the work of four people alone. Co-op multiplayer supports rescue between players. PVP mode pits four interns against each other for the same job position. Developed by Shawn Hitchcock.
