H.P. Lovecraft meets XCOM!
Control The PIB and defend the world against Lovecraftian horrors.
Don’t let humanity fall to the cultists, paranormal entities, and Elder Gods!
**”The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”
– H.P. Lovecraft**
When the stars are right, the veil between our reality and others become dangerously thin. So thin that breaching through can be done with minimal effort by even the weakest of magic rituals or pseudo-scientific contraptions. These wounds of the veil allow corruption from more ominous realms to pass into our world, transforming innocent creatures into paranormal entities of legend and unleashing inexplicable horrors unto the world.
Cults of our world work to tear this veil open with obscene rituals which will summon forgotten horrors of ancient times, and to conjure up portals that could reach outside of the ordered universe, to summon the Ultimate Gods.
The only real defense against these beings, entities, and events of the paranormal is an old and ancient world-spanning order – now known as the Paranormal Intelligence Bureau (PIB). Agents recruited from around the world, fighting to rid the world of this ominous threat.
Inspired by games such as the XCOM and Final Fantasy Tactics Series, Paranormal Intelligence Bureau will be a tactical turn-based game. The goal is to save the world of the roaring 20’s from a threat of paranormal nature.
From your headquarters aboard a majestic zeppelin, you control a roster of agents to combat the paranormal threat, close shut any ruptures in the veil and banish the Elder Gods themselves.

Beat the paranormal and save the world!
Agents are the main tool for the player to not only respond to paranormal events, but also handle matters at the HQ. Each agent is trained within roles with their own set of unique abilities:
* The Soldier: Usually veterans of the Great War, the Soldier is a specialist in both unarmed and armed combat. While the more ominous horrors often are impervious to physical damage, the Soldier is essential to distract any adversaries. While you work to banish the horrors of our world.
* The Medic: Specialists in both traditional medicine and experimental alchemy. Hence the Medic is the perfect support role for healing the bodies of and boosting your Agents.
* The Parapsychologist: Skilled in both the arcane & mystical and the workings of the mind & psyche. The Parapsychologist, therefore, takes care of any ruptures in the veil with occult rituals. And also makes sure their fellow Agents keep their sanity in the presence of eldritch horror.
The Lovecraftian Mythos plays a huge role in the game with entities like:
* Great Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones.
* The daemon sultan Azathoth and the Other Gods and their soul and messenger Nyarlathotep.
* All-knowing, all-seeing Yog-Sothoth, the gate, the key and the guardian. Said to be guarding the veil between realities, time and space.
* Lovecraft’s more mortal races like The Elder Things with their abominable Shoggoths, the Mi-Go from the planet Yuggoth and the time traveling Great Race of Yith.
* The increasing corruption from the thinning of the veil also transforms the worlds flora and fauna into the more common monsters of legend: Vampires, Werewolves, Ghouls, Zombies, Ghosts and more.
