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
Hello everyone,
I spent over a year and a half porting Pacify to consoles, much longer than I expected, but it is finally done. After finishing the final console port (last October), I started building a new game. I was creating a proximity voice chat system for that game, and as I was working on it, I decided it would be great for Pacify. So, I shifted focus and added it to Pacify. It came out great. It is easy to use and has fun voice effects based on the environment and certain situations. I had fun testing it, and it gave me some great ideas for new monsters. And now, I am working on a new map update for Pacify.
Today, I'm releasing the first part of this update that includes the proximity voice chat, special voice sound effects, graphic upgrades, plus many bug fixes.
I'll be fixing any bugs that come up with this release while working on a new map with new monsters, designed around the new proximity voice chat.
Be careful, the monsters can hear you now!
Shawn
For Mac OS Users: The voice chat system is not supported on Mac OS at this time. You are able to hear, adjust the volume and mute other players with voice chat, but they will not be able to hear you.
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.

I have been working on other platforms for the last few months and found several ways I could improve the performance of Pacify. I decided to take some time and implement these improvements for everyone here. The game will run much faster on older hardware (180-300 fps) and extremely fast on new hardware (600-800+ fps). I fixed several potential crashes, and network problems that could have been causing people trouble. I know it isn't a new map, but for new players coming to the game and players coming back to the game, I want them to have the best possible experience.
Major frame rate improvements
More than doubled the framerate in many areas of every level.
Optimized almost every object and program running in the game.
Areas and effects that caused major slowdowns have been resolved.
Major network fixes and lobby flow
Fixed disconnects issues when loading a new mission.
Fixed possible disconnects leaving or joining a lobby.
Added the ability to change the mission from the lobby screen.
The server list is unfiltered and shows which maps the host has chosen.
Games will not appear in the server list once started.
New players cannot join your game once it has started.
After returning to the lobby, the host will appear in the server list and new players can join again.
Fixed an unresponsive black screen problem that could happen during game launch for some players.
Language settings are saved correctly and are reapplied on opening the game.
On the farm map, I adjusted Karen's (the farmer) eating habits. She has a cooldown timer after eating a live chicken, before she will eat another one. She won't immediately eat another, but she will still attack you, eat any chicken you are holding and eat a poison chicken.
Have fun!
