Skip it if you…

- Players looking for multiplayer shooting will not find that structure in the listed modes.
Our take on Graveyard Shift
The bounce point arrives when ammunition management becomes part of every encounter. Players must gather mushrooms, combine elements, and choose bomb ingredients based on enemy types; those wanting conventional gunplay may lose interest at that preparation system.
What is Graveyard Shift?
Graveyard Shift is a first-person shooter set in a haunted graveyard, where the keeper fights ghosts and liches after the dead revolt.
Five mushroom elements serve as ammunition: collect them from the ground, combine them with number keys 1 to 5, and create bombs whose damage depends on the matchup between bomb and enemy elements. Ghosts attack at close range with claws, while stronger liches throw stones. Waved mode contains 10 enemy waves, while Survival continues for as long as the player remains alive. Four power-ups add temporary effects: slowing time, providing a shield, attracting mushrooms, or granting unlimited mushrooms. The game combines cartoon-styled presentation with horror elements.
