Players will clock in next month for Kwalee and Australian solo indie developer Bun Muen‘s upcoming co-op detective horror title, Shift at Midnight. Coming to PC via Steam and itch.io, and the Xbox Series on June 17, Shift at Midnight will also be available on Xbox Game Pass, where subscribers can play the game on Xbox Series consoles, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
If you’re keen to give the game a whirl before launch, you can check out the multiplayer demo that’s available now on Steam.
Shift at Midnight is an online co-op title for up to 3 players, where you and your friends work together across randomly generated shifts to investigate their customers at a local gas station. Managing a gas station is tough work, as you’ll need to keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store tidy.
At the same time, you’ll need to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers.To do so, you may ask each customer five questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour.
If you miss one doppelganger, they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends. To prevent this, you must take the obvious route and execute them on site. If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as monsters.
