About the Game

Join the AFK Shift and monitor abandoned streams on an unnamed livestreaming service. Be on the lookout for unexpected changes, strange phenomena, and hostile entities attempting to escape the Internet. Report these anomalies and protect our physical and digital worlds from disastrous corruption!

Get help, go AFK

It's dangerous to watch alone.  Connect AFK Shift to Twitch and have your chatters provide suggestions for what kind of anomaly you should report and where!

Or do you have better things to do than deal with the know-it-alls in chat?  Set the game to AFK mode and hand the reins to your mods. Let chat play the game themselves if they think they're oh so clever!

Become the anomaly!

Got ideas for your own for creepy AFK livestreams?  Use the full-featured editor* to create your own anomalous streams - no coding needed!  Share your twisted creations with the community for others to play!

(* It's just straight-up Godot Engine tbh)
