GAME INTRODUCTION
What to know before you play
Shift At Midnight is a gas-station management and co-op horror game with thirteen randomized Story Mode shifts and a beta Endless Mode. It released July 22, 2026, and a fresh August update added fifteen customers, Steam cloud saves, per-player volume controls, and a less random route to the true-ending money requirement.

What a shift actually asks you to do
The store still has an ordinary job underneath the horror. Players stock shelves, receive deliveries, clean the floor, serve customers, and sell enough goods to meet the nightly quota. The second layer is inspection: check identity details and behavior before deciding whether a customer is human. Letting a doppelganger leave can bring it back as a monster, at which point the team must barricade doors, place traps, and hide.
That loop matters because it explains what the game is—and what it is not. It is not a round-based shooter with a gas-station skin. The tension comes from dividing attention between routine work, uncertain evidence, and the consequences of a bad decision. Proximity chat is an official feature, so information sharing is part of the intended co-op experience.

What changed in the latest verified update
The August customer update added fifteen new customers to both Story and Endless modes. It also added individual player-volume sliders and Steam cloud saves, equalized product prices to reduce randomness in the true-ending economy, and fixed several UI, localization, crash, and shift-note issues. Those are versioned changes, not generic tips copied from launch coverage.
The next content update is promised as larger, but its exact content and date are not published. This hub therefore does not invent new monsters, shifts, endings, or console features beyond the current records.
