The night: 10 PM to 6 AM

Each night runs from 10 PM to 6 AM. Keep customers coming, keep the store rating up and keep the store safe, or Night Shift goes bust. The shift includes the shop, pumps, car wash and mechanic's bay. Divide the work with your coworkers, or play solo with an NPC crew.

Composure

A hit or a scare costs composure. At zero, you pass out until a coworker wakes you or the ambulance comes. Watch out for your crew as well as yourself.

Events and crimes

Robberies, the ATM crew, shoplifters, raccoons and fires can interrupt the shift. Respond with your crew using fists, tools and whatever is on the shelf. Physics and ragdolls affect everyone, including you. Keep customers and the store safe while dealing with the disruption.

Between nights: report and catalogue

Review the night's report, then use the catalogue to plan upgrades. Spend the store's earnings on improvements for later nights. The host buys upgrades; everyone else votes.

Multiplayer

Up to 16 players can work in one store. Online lobbies and proximity voice chat run through Steam.

Use proximity voice chat to coordinate with nearby coworkers. See the Privacy Policy for how online services and voice chat handle information.
