Hey all!
Happy Summer Sale! To celebrate
The Night Shift is 20% off
until
July 12th
! and... AND?! That's right, AND! I have put together an update to release alongside it. This update has a few couple small things, that I believe have a major impact on the game.
A quick rundown of the biggest changes:
Probably the biggest game changer, and just a basic feature that was missing (until now). The ability to retry the shift when you die. No longer will you have to repeat from the start again (but now that I think about it, let me know if a single life playthrough is something you would be interested in)
After reviewing some players feedback, it was noted that it is taking to long to get into gameplay. I have now updated the dialogue on night 1 and 2. Making it quicker to get into the action whilst delivering what is needed. This will continue to evolve over time, but for now, short and sweet looks best.
This is a fix, but I found some of the navigation for certain mannequins were just not there. I have made a pass over every shift and made sure mannequins can get everywhere you can🙂
Now here are the full patch notes for the latest update.
