Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. (v0.02.001)

A quiet office in the sleepy town of New Eidolon serves as the starting point for a methodical career spent proving that the dead are not always at rest. Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. trades jump-scare-heavy horror for a slow, uneasy investigation sim where every creak, cold patch, and unexplained sound might matter. Its tension comes from working alone in dark homes and abandoned-feeling spaces, armed with imperfect tools rather than weapons. The mood is patient and eerie, closer to a paranormal TV investigation than a chase through a haunted house.

Each case begins with a location and a ghost whose identity and habits vary from investigation to investigation. You sweep rooms with an EMF reader and temperature scanner, listen for anomalies through an audio recorder, photograph suspicious activity, and use your flashlight to navigate the darkness while narrowing down the source of the haunting. The goal is not merely to identify a spirit quickly, but to build a convincing body of evidence before filing your report. Leaving early may confirm something unusual, but weak results disappoint clients and slow access to more demanding assignments, so careful observation and repeat visits to active rooms pay off.

The strongest idea here is the focus on procedure: tools become meaningful because players must interpret what they find instead of simply checking objectives off a list. Randomized ghost types keep familiar properties from becoming entirely routine, as different entities demand different investigative priorities and make each session slightly unpredictable. Investigations generally fit into a single evening, making it an approachable solo alternative to the co-op panic of Phasmophobia, with less emphasis on survival and more on evidence gathering. Paranormal P.I. suits horror fans who enjoy restrained atmosphere, patience, and the satisfaction of turning scattered supernatural clues into a professional conclusion.
