Paracom

Paracom (PARAnormal COMmando) is a squad-based tactical horror RPG. You command the RRMTF (Rapid Response Mobile Task Force) Seven-Headed Dragon Gamma Fireteam as it investigates an Anomaly and searches for a missing group.

Tactical combat

You choose from weapons and equipment including sub-machine guns, shotguns, Stingers, a Taser, smoke grenades and flash bangs, as well as anything you can get your hands on from beyond. Combat supplies are scarce, so you need to conserve ammunition. You can target enemies to affect them: shooting their legs slows them down, while a Taser strike to the nerve center stuns them. Exomorphs emerge from the dark corners of Earth, and each requires a different approach.

Puzzles often have multiple solutions. Since you control a SWAT team, brute force is also an option.

Choices and consequences

Your decisions can alter the story and your stance on the Anomaly, and even minor choices may have later consequences. The Anomaly reacts to your approach: killing more of her underlings and destroying the area increases aggression toward Gamma Team, while leaving the exomorphs free also has dire consequences.

Your agents have their own opinions and can help solve puzzles. If you make too many decisions they consider weird or illogical, they may question you and even turn against you.

Secrets and endings

Straying from the expected path can uncover more of the story. The game includes secret bosses, challenges and exomorphs, and has five endings.
