Bureau of Contacts (v1.0.0.1)

Paranormal investigations become tense social experiments in this co-op horror game, where the entity haunting each location listens to every word you say. As an agent of a shadowy bureau dealing with supernatural incidents, you enter cursed sites armed with investigative gear, protective tools, rituals, and a very real need to keep your composure. The mood is less about scripted jump scares than sustained uncertainty: the ghost watches, speaks back, and may decide your team is worth manipulating rather than simply killing. Even a casual remark can reshape an encounter when the spirit reacts to context, tone, and the group’s behavior.

Each mission revolves around identifying the threat, learning its traits, surviving the hazards of the location, and finding the right means to contain or exorcise it. Players search environments for evidence while navigating traps set by both hostile ghosts and the locations themselves, then use spells, defensive equipment, and specialized rituals when investigation turns into confrontation. Encounters can be tackled solo, but teamwork is central when several agents coordinate information, cover each other, and decide how much risk to take. Character growth adds a longer-term layer through experience, rewards, achievements, equipment storage, and trading, giving successful investigations practical value beyond a single match.

What separates Bureau of Contacts from standard ghost-hunting horror is its focus on open conversation with an adaptive enemy. Rather than selecting dialogue prompts, players can speak freely, creating room for persuasion, provocation, deception, and disastrous misunderstandings. Different ghost temperaments and shifting behavioral tactics make repeated visits less predictable, while the possibility that another agent may abandon or sacrifice you adds an uneasy social edge. Fans of Phasmophobia-style investigations who want a more reactive, occult-heavy experience should find plenty to like, especially in a regular group willing to role-play, communicate, and accept that talking may be as dangerous as wandering into the dark.
