How to Survive Shift at Midnight

Master the art of doppelganger detection and survive your shifts at this cursed gas station. Every decision matters when dealing with customers who might not be human.

1

Serve Customers

Work the graveyard shift at a rural 90s gas station. Stock shelves, clean spills, and serve customers under flickering neon lights.

2

Question Customers

You may ask each customer only 5 questions. Examine their ID, cross-check details in the computer, and observe their behavior carefully.

3

Detect Doppelgangers

Spot the suspicious customers pretending to be human. Look for subtle signs, inconsistencies, and unnatural behavior that reveal their true nature.

4

Check Paperwork

Verify customer identification, match photos with faces, and cross-reference information. One slip-up might expose a creature... or cost you your life.

5

Survive the Night

If creatures escape, barricade doors, place traps, and hide. Work with friends to survive until dawn in this terrifying co-op experience.

6

Board Up & Hide

When all hell breaks loose, survival becomes your only goal. Use boards, traps, and hiding spots to outlast the horrors until help arrives.
