* NonMaliciousMonster: A possible interpretation of poltergeists' behavior. Unlike demons who obviously seek to harm humans, the wiki states there's little to no evidence of poltergeists deliberately hurting people, despite the ruckus they cause. In at least some cases they will actually put the objects they move back in their original places shortly after, further bringing into questions assumptions of destructive intent.

* CreepyCave: A cave along the coast at the Barr Harbor Lighthouse served as a hideout for the [[SerialKiller Lipstick Killer]] and was where he would take his female victims. You can still find bones and pieces of discarded clothing there[[spoiler:, as well as the demon orchestrating the murders]].

* HauntedHouse: Conrad gets called to investigate these.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: While most ghosts are the lingering souls of the deceased, there are a few different categories they can be broken down into. Some return as [[LivingMemory residual ghosts]], endlessly reliving past memories of their life, unaware of their surroundings. Others return as "intelligent" ghosts and actively interact with their environment, and may actually respond to attempts at communication. There are also [[{{Poltergeist}} poltergeists]], which never vocalize or physically manifest, and actually aggressive [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demonic entities]]. Knowing which type you're dealing will help determine what kind of evidence you can find about them, and is crucial for eventually releasing them.

Located somewhere along the coast of New England, the town of [[SupernaturalHotspotTown New Eidolon]] has seen more than its fair share of history. Some even claim to have experienced it in more ways than can be naturally explained, and the town has garnered particular interest among paranormal communities. With families and business owners alike [[WhoYouGonnaCall seeking help]] dealing with experiences beyond their understanding, paranormal investigator and enthusiast Conrad Stevenson sets out to use his honed instincts and methodical approach to get to the bottom of each case, bringing closure to the living and dead alike.

* HarmlessVillain: Demons, from the player's perspective. These are wholly nefarious beings capable of inflicting untold misery, death and suffering on their victims... [[LongGame eventually]]. Their influence is mostly limited to the [[ClosedCircle place they've been summoned to]], and as non-corporeal beings, they usually have to try and gradually exploit the vulnerabilities of those within that space before they [[DemonicPossession take hold]] of them and use them to execute their plans. As such, there's not much they can do to a lone [[NervesOfSteel level-headed]] [[TheAce investigator]] besides getting them to briefly pass out, occasionally forget some recent evidence and drain their equipment's battery.

Conrad Stevenson's Paranormal PI (often shortened to CSPPI) is a single-player game developed by D&A Studios. The game centers around fully-voiced protagonist Conrad as he goes out and investigates reportedly haunted locations, seeking to find as much as he can about the entities that are said to reside there. Despite revolving around ghost hunting, the game takes a more "grounded" approach than many others in the genre, never putting the player in serious danger and requiring a patient and diligent mindset to investigations. Evidence of ghost activity will, in most cases, start out scarce at first, then ramp up as players find clues and progress in their investigations. It also heavily emphasizes [[{{GhostStory}} the story of each ghost]], how it ties into the history of the location they haunt, and why they may still linger there.

* {{Poltergeist}}: One of the types of entities you'll find in investigations. As you'd expect, they make their presence known by throwing objects around and generally causing a ruckus. They appear to lack a visible form, so visual evidence is limited to photos of the messes they often cause.

* LivingShadow: A subtype of "intelligent" ghost if the "Shadow Person", these ghosts manifest as moving shadows.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Demons are the only actively hostile type of spirit Conrad can encounter. They have entered the mortal realm from their own dimension at some point in the past, usually through a [[SummoningRitual]], and intentionally prey on the living. Though they can't possess or truly harm the player, they can attempt to chase them, and physical contact will cause Conrad to briefly pass out and fully drain the battery on whatever equipment he's holding.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: The reason many souls find themselves unable to pass on is their inability to let go of the grief and trauma in their past. Helping them overcome the tragedies in their past is what allows them to be released from the mortal realm.
