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.

history
Originally The Night Shift was built on the Unity engine and released on Steam in Early Access as part of a Uni Project by a team of six. In late 2023, one of the original developers decided to completely remake the game in the Unreal Engine.
On March 15th 2024 a vertical slice of The Night Shift that was built on the Unreal Engine replaced the original version accessible on Steam. Since then it has received multiple updates and expanded the world of The Night Shift.
