Night Shift

Night Shift

by T12RSim - made in 7 days for Synty's 12th Birthday Game Jam (theme: Hide & Seek)

It's your first night on the job. The mall closed hours ago, the lights are off, and somebody's not supposed to be here. All you've got is a flashlight, a badge, and a very long shift ahead of you.

Sweep the dark aisles and shopfronts of the mall, spot intruders hiding in the shadows, and catch them before your flashlight battery gives out. Every intruder you cuff pays out cash - spend it between shifts on gear that keeps you on the job longer: sprint training, a bigger battery, a wider beam.

Controls

WASD - move
Mouse - look around
E - catch the intruder in your crosshair
R - end the shift early and head to the shop
Esc - pause / options

The loop

Each night your flashlight battery is a countdown timer. Catch as many intruders as you can before it drains (or cut the night short with R once you've had enough).

Spend what you earned in the shop, then head back out for the next shift. Catch every last intruder in the mall to close the case.
