Pacify
Emilia in Pacify does not want to kill you outright, which makes her far more unsettling. She wants to turn you into one of her dolls. You and up to three friends enter a haunted villa as investigators, and your job is to exorcise the possessed girl by burning the marked dolls hidden around the house.

The Exorcism Plan in Pacify
The main objective is to find all ten marked dolls and burn them one at a time in the boiler in the basement. Wood near the boiler keeps the fire going. When every doll is gone, the spirit leaves Emilia.
To finish, you burn Emilia's body in the boiler or carry it out to the van outside. Getting there means moving through the house while she hunts you.
Keys open the way. There are keys for the hall, the bedroom, the attic, the basement and the main door, and four of them are needed to complete the mission.
Emilia's Two Moods
In her normal state, Emilia steals any Pacify Doll you are carrying. That is annoying but not deadly. Once she enters rage mode, though, she tries to turn you into a doll.
Pacify Dolls, the colored ones, are your defense. Giving one to Emilia stuns her and calms her down for a while. Marked dolls, the white ones, are the ones you need to burn.
Both dolls and wood are limited. Wasting them early is the most common reason runs fail.
Teamwork and Hiding in Pacify
With friends, the game becomes a mix of horror and chaos. One player can distract Emilia while others search rooms or run dolls to the basement. Good communication makes a big difference.
Solo play is much harder and much scarier. Without a teammate to lure Emilia away, you need to hide and time your moves carefully.
Some players find the AI unpredictable, which can feel unfair. Others enjoy the surprise of never knowing where she is, and that uncertainty is what makes each search of the villa tense.
Modes and Replay Value
The main mode follows the exorcism objective in single player or co-op. A PVP mode assigns roles and asks each player to play their part well.
Short sessions and random elements make the game easy to replay with friends. Many groups treat it as a quick scare between longer games, and the doll locations change enough that no run feels identical.
For more house-based hide-and-seek, try Granny 3. It swaps the team for a lonely escape, but the feeling of searching rooms while someone listens for you is very similar.
How many dolls do I need to burn?
Ten marked dolls must be burned in the basement boiler. Use wood to keep the fire going between dolls.
What do Pacify Dolls do?
The colored Pacify Dolls stun Emilia when you give her one during rage mode. They buy time to escape.
Is the main door key needed?
No. Four of the five keys are required, and the main door key is optional.
Pacify turns a villa search into a team exorcism, and the panic of handing Emilia a calming doll a second before she reaches you is the moment every group remembers. It is loud, funny and frightening at once, which is exactly why friends keep coming back to the villa.
