Shift At Midnight

Shift At Midnight is developed by Bun Muen and published by Kwalee. It released on July 22, 2026, for Windows via Steam, alongside Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass. Set behind the counter of a 1990s gas station, the game tasks up to three players with running the night shift while quietly working out which customers are still human.

Sobre el juego

Running the store comes first: players stock shelves, take deliveries, and keep the place clean to meet each night’s quota. However, every customer needs a second look, since some are doppelgangers wearing a human face. Checking ID, cross-referencing details on the computer, and watching for odd behavior all become part of the job, and missing a fake customer means they come back later in the shift to attack.

Once a doppelganger slips through, the tone shifts fast. Players barricade doors, lay traps, and hide as the creature returns in monstrous form, turning a calm retail simulation into a tense survival scramble. Thirteen randomly generated story shifts keep every playthrough different, and proximity chat means teammates hear tension build in real time rather than just seeing it on screen. A free Endless Mode update, planned for Q4 2026, will add new customers, weapons, traps, and monsters on top of the base campaign.

Características principales

Randomly Generated Shifts: Thirteen story shifts pull from randomized customers and events, so no single night at the station plays out the same way twice.
Doppelganger Detection: Interrogate every customer using ID checks, computer records, and behavioral cues before letting them leave the store.
Barricade and Trap Defense: A missed doppelganger returns as a monster, forcing players to board up windows, set traps, and hide to survive.
3-Player Online Co-op: Proximity chat lets teammates communicate naturally, adding tension as the group reacts to threats together in real time.
