Bureau of Contacts

About

Bureau of Contacts is a co-op horror game for up to four players. You take on the role of agents hunting paranormal entities through phases of investigation and exorcism. Each session follows a structured flow where gathering clues and coordinating actions determines whether you survive. The ghosts you face are controlled by generative AI, making their behavior and responses unpredictable. Team communication is critical as you navigate environments, avoid threats, and complete objectives under time pressure. The AI system redefines how encounters unfold, ensuring no two playthroughs feel the same. While the concept is straightforward, the execution leans on dynamic obstacles that adapt to your strategies. Though still early, the game’s focus on reactive horror and collaborative problem solving has drawn attention from players interested in experimental mechanics. Set to launch in April 2025, it’s positioned as a test of trust and reflexes in a setting where the rules are written by an algorithm.
