hello Cyber752, i like the idea of your game, but the execution of it wasnt 'ze yellow of ze egg' i liked the tasks, yet after 2 nights it just got kinda boring doing the same stuff over and over again. so maybe some new tasks each night would make it more interesting to play. also the tasks went by a bit fast leading to the player just having to wait around for the delivery guys to show up to get the pizza, whilst …

I played this game and it was really short, I died one time to a ghost girl and learned if I stay behind the counter she would just disappear, the game was very repetitive, for all three nights. I was not blown away by the experience, I liked the people looking into the windows but I feel like they were not part of the story the developer was trying to convey. This was not a fully fleshed out experience and it …

This was SO much fun lol. I panicked pretty much the entire time. I really want to know what's in that locked back room though! And what on EARTH is up with that bathroom stall? (Iykyk) I played it for my [url=https://youtu.be/_N1JTcZXW7s]youtube channel, and it was just a BLAST. Great job dev!

It's an ok haunted job simulator. It boils down to three tasks: Find chairs and put them at tables, hand out pizzas (or just put them all at the window), and take out the trash while dealing with a ghost girl and an intruder which is basically look at one of three walls with windows and don't look at the girl. If you do just run around tables until she goes away. Once you break it down into mechanics the game loses …

This game has a lot of potential and I won't say I didn't like it. But Ghost Girl seems broken. You're not supposed to look at her, but that's impossible when she spawns right in front of you, or right in front of the intruder whom you have to stare at. But I learned that the don't look at her tip is wrong right now anyway because she can still get you even if you NEVER see her. Sometimes with no warning she's …

70% of the 23 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Night Shift. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive tasks across nights. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · AI labelView post →not bad not great, why do all these chairs keep getting tossed all over the place, I wish there was more to do in the kitchen in regard to making the pizza. Short horror that doesn't take a lot of effort, you can complete everything and just be stuck waiting on the delivery guy to show up which felt like forever. I'd still say give it a shot.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game for under $2 USD and that's about the price point it should be for now. It's entertaining but the game only lasts 3 nights of play before it's over. Once you figure out the patterns of the game it's pretty much just rinse and repeat. Beat the game in under an hour. I respect the developer for doing this game solo and I hope he adds more content to it in the future.

neutral · AI labelView post →Not a bad game if you're starting out. Needs more variety. Also needs more pointers on certain things, like how do you keep "people" out? Core mechanic of completing tasks while ghosts chase you is solid, build on that. Keep developing, looking forward to your next one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developed by Cyber752 and published by indie.io, Night Shift is a compact horror experience that finds terror in the ordinary. Rather than placing players in a sprawling haunted mansion or an abandoned asylum, the game chooses a far more relatable setting: a late-night job at a pizza restaurant. The premise is deceptively simple—complete your nightly responsibilities and make it through your shifts—but the title gradually transforms routine tasks into moments of escalating anxiety. By grounding…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks like it had so much potential but just lousy messy interactions with objects, clunky doors open then slam shut in your face, objects fall out of your hands and land awkwardly. The missions are repeatitive. It's small and claustraphobic. The ghosts being an instant 1 hit kill then you start over was the deal breaker. Fots!!
