Shift Happens

Ever wanted to live out the American dream of working an abysmal 9–5 with rude management? No? Well too bad, I made a game about it anyway. Shift Happens is a first-person experience where you order stock, fill shelves, and keep the store running. The job is simple. Enjoy your shift.

About the Game

Ever wanted to live out the American dream of working an abysmal 9–5 with rude management and zero upward mobility?
No?
Well too bad — I made a game about it anyway.

Play as a down-on-your-luck college student who just scored a gig to help pay for ramen (or whatever cheap dorm food strikes your fancy). You are now a proud employee of Sell-By Grocers. Welcome to the team!
Well… I say “team,” but in reality, it’s just you — and your manager, Biff. Stay safe out there.

Shift Happens is a fully first-person experience where you order stock, fill shelves, process customers, and keep the store running — no matter what’s being sold. The job is simple. The systems are efficient. And everything is working exactly as intended. Enjoy your shift.

Multiplayer co-op planned for a future update.
