Our take on Just Another Night Shift
Role reversal defines the experience: players take both sides of the theft by changing from thief to guard midway through the match.
What is Just Another Night Shift?
Just Another Night Shift is a competitive stealth strategy game for online 1v1 and 2v2 matches.
One player controls a thief seeking a specific valuable inside a mansion, while the guard attempts to stop the theft. Players change roles halfway through the game, and the winner is the first side to win the required number of rounds. Both characters have different strengths, weaknesses, and a special ability. The guard also has timed duties that can cause the thief to win if they are not completed.
Thieves can use agility, hiding, and items from the black-market shop. Guards can use a dog, cameras, a flashlight, and items from the security shop. Matches take place in either a modern mansion or an old castle-like mansion. Multiplayer uses peer-to-peer hosting, with Player 1 acting as the server.
