About the Game

PacSO – Welcome to Benchart Industries

Welcome to PacSO

Have you ever thought your office job could save the world?
Well, Peter didn’t either. But here we are.

In PacSO, you’re an overworked employee at Benchart Industries, a company that tried to escape bankruptcy by replacing workers with clones.
The problem: the clones got corrupted, the boss didn’t notice, and now you’re the only one who can protect the Clone Stabilizer.
If it breaks… well, you’ll be fired. Oh, and the world will explode too.

Your routine is simple: survive day after day, fighting waves of clones that are basically twisted versions of yourself.

👥 Meet the protagonists

  • Peter Sackwell
    The model employee, used as the cloning template. His curiosity led him into the lab… where he accidentally broke the Order Fuse. From that day on, the clones stopped obeying and decided their new purpose in life was to touch the Crystal.

  • Wanda MacGroove
    The lab’s guardian. She was also meant to be cloned, but with way more character.

🔫 Key Features

  • Fast-paced first-person defense, blending strategy and chaos.

  • 10 unique weapons: pistol, shotgun, laser rifle, grenades, sentries, and more.

  • Over 20 different enemy clones, each with strange behaviors.

  • 31 handcrafted Story Mode levels + an Endless Mode for the brave.

  • Custom map support – create and share your own scenarios.

  • Retro pixel-art style, with nostalgic vibes and modern humor.
