01
Lock in
The opening shot names the shift: a station, a barn, a pier. You can see the dark from here.
Last Frame
Last Frame / Night Shift
Stay until morning.The dark gets closer.
A hut, a mill, a metro after hours. You do not have to win a fight. You have to still be there when the light is.
Clock, not HP Distance is canon Morning is the win
Last Frame / Night ShiftPlayable
The score
The clock is the meter. Each last frame shows if it moved in.

How it plays
Same machine. Different job.
02
Hold the room
Each clip is a slice of the night. If the last frame shows the thing closer, it is closer. Lights, doors, and noise matter.
03
Wait for daylight
Winning is morning in the same place, with you still in the shot. Running can be surviving. Running can also be abandoning the shift.
Why this game
The live loop on Last Frame.
Time as the score
Adventure ends when you die or you grab the relic. Night Shift ends when the clock says so.
Horror without a health bar
The question is proximity. The freeze-frame is a ruler.
Quiet maps already exist
Latitude Zero, The Fog Pier, Night Foundry. Those are Adventure worlds. Night Shift reuses that weather with a clock.
Before you play
Night Shift, on Last Frame.
Can I play Night Shift now?
Yes. On Last Frame, at /clips/new/last-frame?game=night-shift. The clock is the meter. Morning is the win.
Do I fight?
You can. The win is morning, not a boss health bar.
Where does this live?
Inside Last Frame as ?game=night-shift.
The machine
Other Last Frame games.
One product. Eight games. Same 10-second film engine, a different score.
AdventurePlayableThe first Last Frame game. Watch the shot. Pick a move. The last picture is the truth.
HeistPlayableSame film machine. Heat is the meter, not HP. If the last frame shows a face in a doorway, you were seen.
TapePlayableFound footage. If the last picture shows the camera on the floor, the tape is over.
KitchenPlayableService. The last frame decides if the dish is right, or if it walks.
Two DoorsPlayableThat is the whole game. The last picture is whatever is on the other side.
One ObjectPlayableThe last frame decides if you still have it, if it broke, or if you used it up.Night ShiftPlayableThe clock is the meter. Each last frame shows if it moved in.
Director's CutPlayableYou are the director. Camera, blocking, cut. The film you leave is the score.
