About the Game

Dear valued shift worker,

your task today: Check special environments for anomalies and deviations.

  • Navigate through each level and memorize it.
  • Spot any deviations.
  • Use your designated device to report any anomalies.
  • Accuracy is paramount. Incorrect reports lead to a reset of the sequence.


Important: Remain calm if you become frustrated, in case you overlook inconsistencies and your shift takes longer. Excessive levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline or cortisol could lead to permanent damage.

Game Description

Shift 87 is a first person observation horror game.
Keen investigators can find a total of 66 anomalies throughout 3 levels of handcrafted, highly atmospheric environments.

Runs are randomly generated, featuring small and subtle as well as horrifying and unmissable anomalies to provide a gameplay experience that is uniquely different and exciting each time. Players can expect a playtime of around 2-3 hours for a full playthrough.

Can you find and report all of them to end your shift?
Or will terrible paranoia be your downfall...?
