Today’s screenshot is from Shift at Midnight. The game has a Demo up on Steam now. It’s this game where you run a gas station’s graveyard shift, only the twist is that some customers are Doppleganger’s who will attack the gas station if they manage to checkout. So you have to check them and make sure they arent a double through an ID check, a mood scan, and just general questioning. If they’re a double? You pop em with the gun under the counter. Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense logically (they could just attack you in the store), but it’s still fun to play.
We had one customer come in walking funny. We thought he might be a double at first, but nope. dude just had music in his heart and had to dance. Once everything checked out, i rang him up and let him dance on his marry way. (Ignore the… unique posters me and my friend decorated with).
There’s this one guy in the back each night shift that gets closer and closer. We thought at first he was a threat, but he eventually got close enough to touch. And me and my friend, being stupid idiots, did the stupid idiot thing and touched him. He’s friendly! He even left us a little heart made of coins. He’s just a little sweety.
We had another double, only this one was my friend. I think if it wasn’t for the fact i saw my friend walk past, i wouldn’t have grabbed the gun and shot the double. I’m lucky i did because i was not expecting that. It was an awesome curveball for the game to throw at us.
The demo is short, but it’s a good time. If you have friends to play with i highly suggest picking it up. It’s a good hour to just spend playing with friends. I’m excited for the full release and i hope it has an endless mode because this is a good time.
This one was fun with friends. I saw a YouTuber a few years ago play one that also looked interesting but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.
I wouldn’t mind one of these that looks like it’s going to pan out to be a horror game but then just is a regular Late Shift game

Not sure which one to try though, there are multiple with their own specific hooks.
