What people are saying

Mixed reactions: fun but short, repetitive, and clunky.

Many players found the game fun and scary, with some calling it a blast and a great hour of entertainment. However, others felt it was too short and repetitive, with tasks becoming boring after a few nights. [2][7][17][21]

Criticisms also include clunky interactions and a broken ghost mechanic that can kill you even if you never see her. Some players note the game has potential but needs more variety and polish. [8][18][19]

    not bad not great, why do all these chairs keep getting tossed all over the place, I wish there was more to do in the kitchen in regard to making the pizza. Short horror that doesn't take a lot of effort, you can complete everything and just be stuck waiting on the delivery guy to show up which felt like forever. I'd still say give it a shot.

    I got this game for under $2 USD and that's about the price point it should be for now. It's entertaining but the game only lasts 3 nights of play before it's over. Once you figure out the patterns of the game it's pretty much just rinse and repeat. Beat the game in under an hour. I respect the developer for doing this game solo and I hope he adds more content to it in the future.

    It's an ok haunted job simulator. It boils down to three tasks: Find chairs and put them at tables, hand out pizzas (or just put them all at the window), and take out the trash while dealing with a ghost girl and an intruder which is basically look at one of three walls with windows and don't look at the girl. If you do just run around tables until she goes away. Once you break it down into mechanics the game loses the horror aspect. Still, the atmosphere is good and the price tag is…

    Got a job working night shift at a pizzeria. Just gotta clean up, send out pizzas for delivery and take out the trash. What could go wrong? Turns out lots. Cute, short little horror game. Don’t want to mention too much or it will spoil the charm. You can watch my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/OdrmBr6gI5M?si=ZerD9dSbkI-Bp5P1

    Not a bad game if you're starting out. Needs more variety. Also needs more pointers on certain things, like how do you keep "people" out? Core mechanic of completing tasks while ghosts chase you is solid, build on that. Keep developing, looking forward to your next one.

    Developed by Cyber752 and published by indie.io, Night Shift is a compact horror experience that finds terror in the ordinary. Rather than placing players in a sprawling haunted mansion or an abandoned asylum, the game chooses a far more relatable setting: a late-night job at a pizza restaurant. The premise is deceptively simple—complete your nightly responsibilities and make it through your shifts—but the title gradually transforms routine tasks into moments of escalating anxiety. By grounding…

    hello Cyber752, i like the idea of your game, but the execution of it wasnt 'ze yellow of ze egg' i liked the tasks, yet after 2 nights it just got kinda boring doing the same stuff over and over again. so maybe some new tasks each night would make it more interesting to play. also the tasks went by a bit fast leading to the player just having to wait around for the delivery guys to show up to get the pizza, whilst having nothing else to do but occasionally dodging the dead girl and turning the…

    Looks like it had so much potential but just lousy messy interactions with objects, clunky doors open then slam shut in your face, objects fall out of your hands and land awkwardly. The missions are repeatitive. It's small and claustraphobic. The ghosts being an instant 1 hit kill then you start over was the deal breaker. Fots!!

    This game has a lot of potential and I won't say I didn't like it. But Ghost Girl seems broken. You're not supposed to look at her, but that's impossible when she spawns right in front of you, or right in front of the intruder whom you have to stare at. But I learned that the don't look at her tip is wrong right now anyway because she can still get you even if you NEVER see her. Sometimes with no warning she's coming. So if she spawns right behind you you're out of luck, period. At least…

    5. Night Shift - I think part of why I rated this one so highly is because it's the Most Relatable Experience for a game. It's another one that isn't exceptional, necessarily, but it brought a better flavor of Game Changer chaos than a lot of other episodes.
