‘Shift at Midnight’ Gets An Expanded Demo

UK publisher Kwalee and independent developer, Bun Muen, have launched a new co-op demo for upcoming game, Shift at Midnight. For Steam Next Fest, the new demo comes with a host of new content and gameplay features.

Players will encounter a new pool of randomised customers, with the first shift remaining the same to ease them in. New tasks include filling car fuel tanks and searching vehicles to identify potential doppelgangers. The update also adds hats and store decorations, alongside expanded systems such as an inventory, personalised store reviews, a health system and save file support. From night three, rats roam the store, and players can access a randomised in-game shop via the computer for upgrades and items.

About Shift at Midnight

Managing a gas station is tough work, keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store nice and clean.

Oh, and make sure to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers – miss one and they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends… Execute on site if you think they are not human – just be sure to clean up after.

If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as horrible monsters.

Manage your gas station

Stock the shelves, take deliveries, keep your store clean & serve customers. Each shift is randomly generated… meaning no 2 shifts are the same.

Not all customers are human…

Managing a gas station these days also means you have to be a detective… You may ask each customer 5 questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour. Make sure they are human before you let them leave, or they will come back…

Board Up, Lay Traps and Hide

If a creature manages to leave the store, all hell breaks loose. Barricade the doors, place traps, and find a place to hide. Survival is no longer guaranteed.

Better with friends!

Multiplayer is where the game thrives, work together or at least be together… proximity chat enhances the experience.
