Shift At Midnight blends gas station management with doppelganger investigation and survival horror

Shift At Midnight is a co-op horror game where up to 3 clerks run a gas station, inspect customer identities for disguised doppelgangers, and barricade doors when monsters attack.

Gas Station Maintenance and Storekeeping

• Night clerks coordinate duties to operate a remote roadside service station.
• Workers restock retail shelves, unload incoming freight deliveries, and clean dusty aisles.
• Teams must generate sufficient merchandise sales each night to satisfy mandatory quota targets.
• Random generation ensures no 2 work shifts feature identical store demands or customer flows.

Customer Interrogation and Doppelgangers

• Employees serve as detectives by interrogating incoming patrons at the checkout counter.
• Clerks inspect physical ID cards and verify personal details against local computer records.
• Certain visiting patrons are lethal doppelgangers merely masquerading as normal human beings.
• Suspected impostors can be eliminated on site before they exit the retail establishment.

Barricades and Survival Defense

• Permitting an unidentified creature to leave causes it to return later as a violent monster.
• Besieged clerks must hastily barricade exterior doors, arm defensive traps, and hide inside storage rooms.
• Proximity voice chat allows up to 3 teammates to coordinate defensive maneuvers during assaults.
• Story Mode challenges participants to survive across 13 randomly generated nighttime shifts.

Game Modes and Content Updates

• In addition to standard shifts, character customisation lets players modify clerk appearances before starting work.
• Failure to properly dispose of eliminated remains introduces additional complications during active shifts.
• An expansive Endless Mode update is planned for release during Q4 2026.
• The upcoming expansion introduces exclusive customer models, extra weaponry, and novel monster encounters.
