Shift At Midnight — Co-op Detective Horror Gas Station Game

What is Shift At Midnight?

Shift At Midnight（午夜輪班）is an online co-op detective horror game developed by Bun Muen and published by Kwalee. Released on Steam in July 2026, it supports up to 3 players working together through randomly generated night shifts.

Your job? Manage a gas station convenience store. Stock shelves, take deliveries, and keep things clean — but there's a catch. Some of your customers are doppelgangers — shape-shifting monsters only pretending to be human.

Interrogate each customer as you serve them. Identify the imposters. If you get it wrong, they'll return later that shift as horrible monsters hell-bent on killing you and your friends.

How to Play Shift At Midnight

1

Manage the Gas Station

Stock shelves, take deliveries, clean the store, and meet your nightly sales quota. Keep the business running while staying alert.

2

Interrogate Customers

As customers approach the counter, question them carefully. Watch for strange behavior — odd speech patterns, unnatural movements, or inconsistencies in their stories.

3

Identify the Doppelgangers

Some customers are not human. They're shape-shifting monsters in disguise. Make the call — execute suspected doppelgangers on site if you're confident. Just be sure to clean up after.

4

Survive the Night

If you miss a doppelganger, they'll return later as a terrifying monster. Set traps, barricade doors, and hide to survive until dawn. One mistake can cost the entire shift.

Tips & Strategy

Communicate with your team — Share observations about suspicious customers. Two opinions are better than one.
Watch body language — Doppelgangers often move differently from real humans. Look for jerky movements or unnatural stillness.
Listen carefully — Some doppelgangers speak in odd tones or give answers that don't match their appearance.
Don't neglect the store — Missing your sales quota is just as deadly as a doppelganger. Balance investigation with business.
Set traps early — If you suspect a mistake, set traps and barricades before the doppelganger returns.
Clean up evidence — Executed doppelgangers leave messes. A bloody store scares off real customers.
Each shift is different — Random generation means no two nights are the same. Adapt your strategy.
