Overview
The Night Shift plunges players into the shoes of Cole Ashford, a NOAA meteorology engineer on his first remote posting at Station 13. Set on November 27th, 1984, the game begins with a blizzard cutting off communication and stranding Cole.

A seismic spike directly beneath the station and a mysterious, forbidden Door Four add to the unsettling atmosphere.
