Through immersive environmental storytelling and a slow-building sense of dread, the game pulls you into a disturbing mystery that unfolds over time.
The Shift blends routine simulation with psychological horror through a set of tightly integrated gameplay systems. The core mechanics revolve around performing time-based shift tasks, managing environmental interactions, and reacting to emergent horror events.
