About the Game

Static Shift is a psychological horror co-op game with Lovecraftian monsters and environments. You (and possibly some of your fellow employees) have to work through your week-long shift at the warehouse, completing whatever tasks you select from the higher-ups, all whilst trying to survive what you can't possibly imagine. Will you go solo or ask for help from your colleagues? Each day expands your tools, area, and problems. Not to worry, you're the best employee. :)

Anomalies

These monsters and anomalies appear frequently during your shifts. Each one that appears, hostile or not, must be logged and reported at the end of each day. After every day, things get worse and worse, with more and more problems.

Tasks

You get to choose your own jobs at the warehouse (how generous), ranging from the mundane to the borderline peculiar. Alternatively, you can explore the warehouse yourself and discover what isn't being fully told to you: What are you really doing? What is this warehouse for? What happened to the people who worked here before you?

Rewards

Completing tasks grants you equipment to assist you and ensure your survival. But losing track of your gear or choosing the wrong task can be fatal. Choose wisely, or you and your colleagues will pay with something far more valuable.
