Overview

Nightshift - The School Janitor plunges players into a chilling survival horror experience. You step into the shoes of Joe, a desperate individual who accepts a janitorial position at an old, seemingly abandoned school. The catch? The doors lock behind you at 5 PM, and you're left to complete your tasks until 5 AM, all while something sinister lurks in the darkness. This is not a typical job; it's a five-night ordeal where survival is the only objective.

Highlights

  • Genre Blend: Combines elements of psychological horror, survival horror, and atmospheric exploration.
  • Core Gameplay Loop: Players must complete various cleaning and repair tasks around the school, such as mopping floors, cleaning spills, and fixing desks, under the pressure of a ticking clock.

Who It's For
