The game

An online co-op horror for 1–3 players. Be wary: some of your customers are only pretending to be human. Question them. Check their paperwork. Don’t let them trick you; make one mistake, and you’d better board up, set traps, and hide.

The Real Review

People are loving Shift at Midnight's tense, cooperative horror, especially with friends. The core gameplay loop of questioning suspicious customers and then desperately fortifying your station is a huge hit, and the co-op itself is almost universally praised. The big, widespread complaint is performance, with players on both PC and Xbox calling out a ton of bugs, crashes, and frame drops that can ruin the scares. It's considered a must-play with a group if you can look past the technical jank.
