Our take on Night Shift

The focus on driving and darkness keeps the concept narrow: players trade varied adventure activities and character development for navigation built around limited visibility and headlight interaction.

What is Night Shift?

Night Shift is an adventure game about driving through a world without sunlight.

Players get behind the wheel of a muscle car and travel through dark roads while searching for the missing sun. Limited visibility can cause a wrong turn that returns the car to its starting point. High beams interact with the surrounding environment and push back the darkness, making lighting part of the driving and exploration. The game includes music by Dance With the Dead and an auto-save function that records progress.
