Our take on Graveyard Shift
The experience is built around a single work shift: Gary guards the cemetery from 5 PM until 8 AM, with camera sightings eventually extending into his patrols.
What is Graveyard Shift?
Play as Gary on his first day as a night guard at Whispering Winds Cemetery.
The shift runs from 5 PM until 8 AM the following day. At first, the grounds appear calm, but unusual events begin to emerge on the surveillance cameras. Gary initially suspects the disturbances are confined to the footage; walking among the graves shows that they are not. The game centers on enduring this overnight shift and the growing threat in the cemetery, rather than solving puzzles. It uses realistic graphics and 3D sound as part of its horror presentation.
