About

Nightmare Shift is a first-person psychological horror game with a walking simulator approach and occasional puzzle elements. Emma just got a new job working the night shift at a motel, but she quickly encounters strange people at the job and starts receiving weird phone calls. Even at her apartment, strange and worrying things start happening that leave her wondering who's behind everything and if this person has bad intentions for her.

Nightmare Shift is split into motel sections and and apartment sections. At the motel, Emma needs to take care of tasks such as cleaning up rooms, refilling vending machines, and dealing with unruly customers. At home, she preps breakfast for herself, swaps between casual and work clothes, and runs to catch the bus for work. Along the way, she chats with several people and solves puzzles at both locations which help shed light on who might be after her and why.
