SYNOPSIS

The Night Shift is a first-person horror game that brings the player into a world that progressively becomes a harrowing nightmare. No matter where you are in the store, your only means of defense is to not look away.

Will you last until the storm passes?

STORY

Congratulations! You have been accepted for a job at your local department store. A massive storm starts forming as you arrive for your first shift, before you can get settled, your manager gives you a list of tasks to complete before you can leave for the night. At the end of your first night, the storm rages on outside tripping the emergency shutters and trapping you at work.

With no sign of help and nothing but your wits and your flashlight, you need to mark off all your tasks so you can at least get paid. However as each night passes, you feel something isn't right. Something is watching you... Whatever it is, it moves in the dark.

Navigate through the spacious storefront, the claustrophobic service tunnels, and eerie employee-only rooms. Complete your tasks to make sure the store is looking perfect for when the store can reopen... and you can leave.

KEY FEATURES

The mannequins only move when you're not watching. Turn away or look the wrong way, and they’ll be closer than before.

Each shift plays out differently, with randomized events and shifting pacing to keep players on edge.

Search the environment for tools, keys and other useful items that may aid your survival during the night.

Navigate from the store front to the backrooms and warehouse, uncovering new areas and environmental storytelling.

Each night brings subtle changes. Dirt and decay creep into once-clean spaces, and something unfamiliar begins to spread through the store’s forgotten corners.

Investigate cryptic clues, hidden rooms and narrative fragments that reveal the truth behind the mannequins and the store itself.

Stay immersed with a stripped-down interface that keeps your focus on the environment. No clutter, just tension.

The story branches at its climax, offering several possible outcomes depending on how you choose to face the end.

Built on dread, not cheap jumps. The horror escalates gradually, wrapping around you as the line between real and unreal dissolves.
