Nightmare Shift is a horror game. The premise of the game is you work the night shift at an isolated motel, dealing with disturbing guests and supernatural occurrences. You play as Emma, and you’ll experience her unsettling apartment life, the disquieting feeling of being watched, and the growing uncertainty of what's real as the boundary between reality and nightmare dissolves.

Emma's ordinary nights take a turn towards extraordinary mysteries. Delve into her fears, confront her struggles, and witness the unsettling dissolution of the boundary separating her reality from her darkest nightmares. This is a walking simulator game with 90s aesthetic.

Unsettling night shifts

Nightmare Shift delivers tense and eerie gameplay. Each late-night shift remains unpredictable and engaging, and you will encounter mysterious characters with unclear motives. Every conversation either reveals the truth or intensifies your suspicion. The game lets you follow Emma’s everyday life: her routine at home and her shift at the motel. You will soon realize that routine can obscure something much more sinister.

You are now tasked with uncovering the truth and unraveling the mystery of this psychological horror game. Explore the motel and Emma's apartment to uncover a shocking truth. Unravel a dark mystery with each discovery, challenging your perceptions at every turn. This game combines the walking simulator genre with puzzle-solving elements. The game promises an immersive experience with its atmospheric and photo-realistic graphics.

This horror game has multiple endings and therefore invites playing it more than once to see all the possible outcomes. The multiple endings depend on the decisions you make throughout the game. The game is currently available as a demo, and you can try it out for yourself first before diving into the full game. However, just take note that the game depicts violence, which makes it unsuitable for younger players.
