It’s here! I'm happy to announce the multiplayer demo for Shift At Midnight is finally out! Thank you for your patience. This is probably the most exciting update to date and I'm so happy everyone can finally play it!
Like the single player demo, you take a shift at a rural gas station where you serve customers who could be doppelgangers, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behavior. One slip-up might expose a creature… or cost you your life.
In the upcoming multiplayer update, you’ll be able to work alongside up to 2 coworkers who can either assist with your tasks or get in your way.
I'd really appreciate it if you could leave any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports in the Steam Forum. Your input helps me iron out problems before the next release and may inspire features that could make the game even better!

I've written the answers to some common questions below but, if you have any others, don't hesitate to ask.
FAQ:
What will this Steam demo contain?
The main addition will be online co-op for up to 3 players. Night 1 will be identical to the singleplayer demo. Night 2 is overhauled, and there will be an additional Night 3 with new content. However, like the singleplayer demo, this demo won't have randomly generated nights. But the full release will.
What will change between this demo and the full release?
The full release will be composed of randomly generated "runs" to play through with your friends. This will include a shitton of customers, random silly/scary/funny events, items, monsters, traps and more.
When will the game fully release?
I’m still aiming for Q2 2026, but I’ll let you know as soon as a release date is confirmed.
What languages will the game be in?
Right now, I'm looking toward English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified). There may be more in future, but for the time being, this is what I'm going for.
Thanks again for all your support and love.
