Shift at Midnight

Shift At Midnight places players in the role of late‑night gas station attendants working an isolated highway outpost in the 1990s. The environment appears quiet at first, but soon reveals that some customers are not what they seem. You and up to three friends must work together to identify threats while still completing the routine tasks of a night shift. The tension comes from balancing normal customer service with the constant risk of encountering something inhuman. Every interaction could be the difference between surviving the night or being taken by whatever stalks the dark roads.

Interrogation And Identification

Every customer can be questioned only a limited number of times, making each decision matter. Players must review identification documents, compare them against records in the station’s computer, and watch closely for unusual behavior or inconsistencies. The process is time‑sensitive and mistakes can lead to disaster. Identifying a threat early allows the team to prepare defenses, but hesitation can give a dangerous entity the chance to leave the store and begin hunting. Communication between players is critical, as information gathered from different sources can help confirm suspicions before it is too late.

Core Gameplay Features

Shift At Midnight includes a focused set of mechanics that define its structure:

·         Limited question system for each customer interaction

·         ID verification and database cross‑checking

·         Barricading entry points and setting traps

·         Cooperative multiplayer with up to four participants

·         Solo play option for those who want the challenge alone
These features combine investigation, preparation, and survival into a single experience, making each shift unpredictable and dangerous.

Defense, Survival, And Cooperation

Once a hostile entity is confirmed or escapes the store, the situation changes instantly. Players must secure doors, set traps, and find hiding spots to avoid detection. The game does not guarantee safety even with the best preparation, so every defensive action matters. In multiplayer sessions, roles can be divided so one player watches the entrances while others prepare barricades or monitor security systems. When playing solo, resource management becomes even more important, as every action must be carried out personally without the benefit of backup.
