Description
About This Game
Night Shift
The boss needs the product shipped before the deadline, so he hires people for the night shift at high pay — and you are one of them.
Your job: reviewing posts, organizing files, repairing audio.
Gameplay
- Simulated computer desktop: file system, notepad, video player, recycle bin, system info — all operable
- Review posts: approve, delete, or move a post to the right board
- Organize files: sort by extension into Image / Document / Sheet / Archive / Recycle Bin; virus files go only to the recycle bin, encrypted archives unlock with a double-click, large files drag slower
- Audio repair: drag in an audio file, pick a faulty segment to preview, long-press the matching tool to fix it (denoise, remove echo, fill gaps, remove hum, remove crackle)
- Security monitors: "shoot" each camera for a still to inspect; cameras and lines have cooldowns and shots expire; switch night vision and previous/next camera
- A faulty switch cuts the network, taking the monitors and the stream offline — restart it from the switch console
- Each night has a fixed set of tasks; finish the night's work to complete it
- Solo playable, up to three players online
- The ghost locks onto you by sound and sight
- Running, opening doors and working make noise; crouch-walking and slow-walking reduce it
- The lights dim in stages until fully black; she can also pull the breaker to black out the floor
- She creates hallucinations: outside the window, behind you, running in the corridor, crawling out of the screen, crawling on the ground
- Being caught downs you; teammates can revive you; if the whole team is down, the night is lost
- San drops with fright and has stages: Uneasy / Distressed / Panic; watching the stream restores San
- Turn off your flashlight to hide, or hide in a cabinet
