About the Game
NEW CONTENT
Pacify now has 4 separate missions to capture unique paranormal entities. Each mission includes a unique environment, story, gameplay, and monsters. Have fun with your friends trying to complete each eerie paranormal mission, and help PAH Inc. capture the supernatural entities.THE DOLLS MISSION STORY
You just signed on with PAH Inc. Paranormal Activity Helpers Incorporated, yeah sounds corny, but the pay is great. They said you won't ever be in any real danger, and they have tons of work right now. Your first job is at some old haunted house. There is a broker wanting to put the house for sale, but with everyone in the town spreading rumors of evil living inside the house, he needs some proof that it is safe. He actually seems creeped out himself. Anyway, he hired PAH Inc. to check the place out. You can go check it out alone if you'd like, but I would take at least 3 more friends with me. Check the place out, and if there is anything supernatural going on, try to bring evidence back to PAH Inc.MYSTERY OF THE HOUSE
This house was built over 100 years ago. The owners ran a funeral parlor. They held normal funeral services such as ceremonies, wakes, cremation and burying the dead. The rumor around town is that they also offered a very special service, a way to talk to your deceased loved one on last time. Several people paid for the service, and after some type of ritual, they were able to speak to the dead. Something apparently went wrong during one of the rituals. A person from town and the owners of the house disappeared and were never seen again. Over the last century, a few people that investigated the incident never returned. A few kids sneaking around the place claimed to hear laughter and see a little girl in the window. There probably isn't any truth to any of it.GAMEPLAY
In Pacify, you will be running for your life around the narrow corridors of a dark, old house. There is a little girl that switches between good and evil roaming around. Different circumstances can cause her to change. Once the evil takes over, it will chase you and your friends all over the house. You must find a way to Pacify the evil and escape the house. As the game progresses, the evil gets smarter and faster.Play alone in single player mode, or play with up to 3 more friends in multiplayer. In multiplayer mode, you can choose to play with or against your friends. Read the notes for clues about Pacifying the girl. Find and use keys, dolls, wood and matches to help you on your way. The girl can hear and see you. Stay out of sight, and stay as quiet as possible. Try different types of strategies to win.
- Single Player Mode
You can go in the house alone, but the game will be difficult. You must do the work of 2-4 people all by yourself. It is possible though and very scary to take on the girl all alone! - Co-Op Mode
In co-op multiplayer, you work together trying to help each other escape the house. You can save each other from the girl by interrupting her when she catches someone. - PVP Mode
In pvp mode, everyone is an intern for PAH Inc. vying to get a full time position. The person that does the most work gets hired. You can push each other down and get in each other's way. Pushing a player on the floor stuns them for 5 seconds and causes them to drop their keys.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Hello,
I just uploaded a small patch with a few adjustments.
I lowered the difficulty of several aspects of the headquarters level. It should be easier to complete.
The in-game voice chat is set to high quality audio. It has environmental and situational special effects that cannot be heard using outside voice chat. The mouths on the players animate when you speak. Your voice changes during certain status effects like being smaller, slowed or changed in some way. Different environments cause your voice to change and adjust for more realism.
I am still working on the next map that will use the in-game voice chat.
Thanks,
Shawn
If you are on a Mac and Pacify isn't show the "Update" button yet please restart Steam.
If you were on a Windows PC and were not having trouble, you shouldn't have to do anything.

-The game has been optimized more
-The total file size has been decreased from 10gb to under 2.6gb
-Settings are applied and saved in a new way.
-The "Auto" button in the Options menu, will run a quick test and automatically choose quality options for you.
If you have not been able to change or save your settings in the past, please comment below if this fixes that problem.
Thank you for playing Pacify!

P.S. If you would like to reset the video and controller save files on your computer, you can delete the "Saved" folder listed below.
For Windows:
Type this into the search bar or folder path "%localappdata%\Pacify"
(%localappdata% should bring you to the folder C:\users\YOURUSERNAME\appdata\local\)
Delete the folder named "Saved", then open Pacify
For Mac:
Press CMD+Shift+G to Open the Go To Folder Menu
Then enter the below path and click Go
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Epic/Pacify
(replace YOURUSERNAME with your username)
You can delete the "Saved" folder you find there and then open Pacify.
Some users are experiencing an issue where they cannot change any setting in the options menu. This is a fix for that problem. Everything should work fine for new users, but if you are already experiencing the problem, you can go to the Options menu and toggle Fullscreen Off and then back On to fix the problem. You should be able to change any setting and save the settings after you do that.
If you need to reset your video settings, here is a save file that you can delete:
On Windows go here:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Pacify/Saved/SaveGames/videosettings.sav
On Mac go here:
User/Library/Application Support/Epic/Pacify/Saved/SavedGames/videosettings.sav
Once you delete that file, everything should work fine after you open the game again.
I hope that helps,
Shawn
Fixed the "Don't Do It" achievement. Open a cell with the monster inside to activate this achievement.
Thanks for the feedback and bugs you have posted in the discussions. I will continue to monitor the issues and correct them.
If anyone is having trouble understanding the Headquarters update, a player named Raptvre wrote a great guide in the guides section that should help. You can find it here: Headquarters Guide by Raptvre

I did still notice that if "Fullscreen" is set to YES in your current save, it may not save the resolution correctly. Switching "Fullscreen" to NO and then back to YES seems to fix the problem.
You can also start fresh by deleting your save files, which are only for video settings.
Go to this folder: %localAppData%\Pacify\Saved\SaveGames and delete the "videosettings" file.
I hope that helps,
Shawn

Make sure you download the new update or you might not be able to join the lobby with other players. Sometimes this requires reopening Steam.
