About the Game

The night shift just got deadly.

In NightShift 198X, players must manage a cursed gas station while surviving a series of unpredictable supernatural events. Work and hold the station together as reality fractures around you.

This isn’t just a job.

Each shift brings new terrors, branching encounters, and consequences that carry over. Watch the shadows, track time, and trust no one—not even your coworkers.

Combining immersive sim mechanics with atmospheric horror, NightShift 198X delivers a unique blend of dread, and decision-making in a visually rich world inspired by 80s analog nightmares.

You can clock in… but you may never clock out.
