🕹️ Game Description

Paranormal Night Shift is an observation and spot the anomaly game.

Your job is to keep a close eye on the cameras and report any anomalies to your partner.

But be careful, this house is truly haunted and if you miss too many anomalies, you might not survive the night...

You will have three nights to play, 3 to 5 hours of gameplay, depending on your powers of observation, and a mystery to unfold gradually.

Keep your eyes peeled, ghost hunter, and good luck!

Quick synopsis of the story 🏚️

You and your partner, Gary, are ghost hunters. A desperate call from a family in distress leads you to a house in a residential area of North London, where strange phenomena are disrupting their daily lives.

🎥 Viewer Opinions

Comments from my TikTok stream 🎤

My chat had mixed reactions. Some loved the tension and slow horror, while others wanted more jumpscares and action. A few found the game a bit tricky, especially spotting subtle changes on the cameras. But overall, most agreed that the atmosphere was awesome and the scares that did happen were really well done.

👁️ My Thoughts

What I loved 🖤

What I loved about Paranormal Night Shift was the way it built tension. Flipping through cameras, never knowing what I’d see next, kept me on edge the whole time. The paranormal activity felt natural small changes that slowly rose instead of cheap jumpscares. The atmosphere was spot on, making the house feel scary even when nothing was happening. Plus, having Gary there was cool as he was comedic which made the game a laugh for me and my viewers it felt like a real ghost hunt, not just a game. Definitely a challenge for sure

What didn’t work for me ❌

What didn’t work for me was the difficulty it felt a little tough at times, and I wasn’t always sure what I was supposed to be looking for. I also wished there were a few more jumpscares. The ones that did happen were great, but the game was more on slow side. A bit more in the scare department would’ve made it even more scary.
