Pagui

Pagui is a 3D action-adventure game set in Taiwan in early 1954. After an orphan taken in by a temple overhears something about his past, he sets out at night on a journey to find his relatives. As you explore a haunted village, you uncover the secrets of your own story and the village’s buried history.

Story and setting

The game draws on Taiwan’s history, religious practices, folk culture and supernatural traditions. You explore an eerie village, sneak past powerful spirits, learn skills to fight ghosts, and encounter recreated historic architecture, haunted houses and temples based on real locations.

Single-player adventure

In third-person, you traverse the ghost town and solve puzzles and mini-games drawing on Taiwanese culture and religion, including moon blocks and the Tao’s divine bagua. The game features martial arts based on demonstrations by modern practitioners and masters, brought into gameplay through motion capture. Its spells draw on Taoist practices and were digitally recreated with guidance from Taoist priests.

Three-versus-one multiplayer

In asymmetrical PvP, three players can take the role of the righteous Exorcists and try to banish evil, while one plays as the burgeoning Malevolent.

Music

The soundtrack combines oriental musical instruments with metal and electronic music.
