[WP] Humans developed an odd evolutionary defense. We are both psychic-resistant while emitting a deafening roar of emotion, due to pre-historic interference by aliens. This has kept the psychic species that controls most of the Galaxy to quarantine earth. But we may be ripe for conquest once again…

[WP] Despite your protest, your family takes you to see a faith healer when modern medicine cannot help your degenerative disease. To your amazement, they seem to actually be successful! But then you start noticing the signs... Here in the middle of the Bible Belt, this "healer" is a necromancer.

[WP] The world's first telepathic, you've lent your skills to the medical and scientific community, reading coma patients' life signs, helping develop treatments, and charting development. Today will be the first time you've read a schizophrenic's mind.

[WP] The township of Silent Hill is an example of what we now call a “Reality Parasite.” It is an out-world/eldritch entity that bites on to our reality to feed. It uses psychic lures such as false memories like an angler fish. The “Otherworld” is the esophagus. You must go deeper to plant the bomb.

[WP] As a commander of your totalitarian governments secret police, your job is keeping order by any means. But while HQ worries about riots and work production, this village’s real fear is the forrest. It whispers to them. It casts shadows in daylight. Animals whimper. Children disappear...
