## About Pacify

Pacify is a 2019 horror game developed by Shawn Hitchcock where players work as contractors for PAH Inc., capturing supernatural entities across missions with unique stories and multiple endings. Players can tackle each level solo or team up with up to six others online. The gameplay blends entity-capture mechanics with jump-scares and mission-based progression, while prank mechanics add unpredictability. Reviewers describe the experience as atmospheric and funny despite being stressful, noting that humor blends effectively with horror. The 88% positive rating from over 11,000 Steam reviews reflects how multiplayer chaos elevates the experience. Priced at $4.99, the game runs verified on Steam Deck and rewards short, intense play sessions.
