Hello Chefs! I'm very proud to announce the reveal of Closing Shift. We plan to release the game in August of 2026.
Closing Shift will release into Early Access, with a full release planned about 1-1.5 years after launch.
(More details on an exact launch date coming soon)On launch, Closing Shift will have 2 unique restaurants with their own menus, maps, tasks, etc. Alongside the restaurants, there will be a good number of monsters, items, and upgrades.

The road to full release is planned to add new restaurants, monsters, and lots of other new contents + polish. I will be monitoring steam and social media platforms for feedback. I'd also love to tune in to streamers or YouTubers to see everyone playing the game.Overall I'm very happy to finally announce the project, and I'm very excited for the road ahead.
I may reveal a full roadmap soon, if anyone would care to see what I have in store.
