Shift At Midnight Serve snacks, spot the fakes

Your shift is ordinary retail work with a body count. You take deliveries, fill the shelves, ring up customers, and keep the store clean enough to hit the night's quota. Every shift is randomly generated, so the order of customers and trouble stays fresh across the 13 nights of story mode.

You check out a driver for motor oil and a snack, then drag his doppelganger's remains to the bin and mop up. That rhythm of chores and cover-ups is the whole job, and it keeps your hands busy while your brain stays suspicious.

This is detective work at the register. You look at each customer, check their ID, compare details in the store computer, and watch how they act and answer. You can ask up to five questions, and the lies hide in small mismatches between papers, files, and behavior.

Call it right and a human walks out with groceries. Call it human when it is not, and that customer leaves, changes shape, and returns later in the shift. If you are sure, you execute on site, then bag the mess and get back to the till.

Let a doppelganger slip past and the night turns. The store goes dark, something horrible comes back, and survival is no longer guaranteed. You hammer boards over the doors, lay traps, grab a weapon, and find somewhere to hide.

The shift tells you how many you missed, so you know roughly how bad the return visit will be. Gore and blood are part of the deal, so expect the cleanup to continue after the fight.

Up to three players can work the same night, with proximity chat that gets quieter with distance. One of you runs the computer checks while another stocks shelves and a third does the talking at the counter. Solo play is supported too, and it feels colder without backup.

With friends the tone slides toward comedy. Someone misreads an ID, someone shoots first and checks paperwork later, and someone has to explain the blood on aisle two. You can also change how your clerk looks, which helps when you need to blame the right person.
