Running jobs for P.P.S.
Project Unknown is an online co-op horror game where you and your group work as gifted members of Paranormal Property Solutions. Clients hand you requests about their haunted properties, and your job is to investigate the supernatural activity, exorcise the ghosts, and get out alive so the house can be sold ghost-free. The game leans on investigation and mystery as much as action: you explore haunted houses and eerie landscapes in first person, look for clues, and piece together what is going on before you commit to an exorcism.
Working as a team
Each member of the cast is a distinct character with their own traits, personality, and unique ability. Eirene is a tarotist who uses her cards to impose a shared fate on herself and a teammate. Zay is a school teenager who regrets joining the team, though his dog does not share that opinion. Luther is a pious priest and a professional gamer. Nyx is an occult enthusiast carrying a true to life grimoire. Choosing who brings what to a job shapes how your group handles a house, so talk through your lineup before you head in.
Tools, light, and miasma
You purchase and use a range of tools, from ancient relics to modern ghost detection devices. The Ghost Magnifier, Ritual Bell, Curse Sensor, and Flashlight Unit each serve a purpose in tracking down what you need. Light is a resource you have to manage: apparitions dislike it, but you can only keep a limited number of lights open at once before you risk tripping the breaker, and the darkness in these homes is not like darkness you are used to. On top of that, miasma spreads through each client's house and has to be cleansed before it gets so far out of hand that the request becomes a lost cause.
Learning the ghosts
Ghosts come in many forms, each with a uniquely horrifying appearance and its own patterns. Your group keeps a journal where you write down observed behaviors, and that record is what teaches you how to survive a given encounter. Finding the belongings where a ghost stores its curses is the key to completing the exorcism, but getting out alive matters just as much. Expect the game to be difficult and tense, with a dark, psychological tone throughout.
