Last Shift

tl;dr: Flesh this ish out, dev. The atmosphere is on point, you just need to beef up your story so I actually care enough to immerse myself. I'm going to use the office decorations from Mark's shift to describe my thoughts about this game: Duct tape, glue, and string are the core components in practically every project. Construction, plumbing, coding, clothing manufacturing -- all of these and more are held together by these three basic tools. But like, you need more than those to actually HAVE a finished product, yeah? I hated the way I couldn't see beyond a very small (and dim) circle of light. I loathe mannequins. I am super into cleaning sims for some reason. This should've been squarely in my wheelhouse in terms of horror. But you need more than dim lights and jump scares to have a horror game (I mean, I guess you don't, but it helps?). Here's a guy I know nothing about going to do a job in a spooky, dimly-lit, mannequin-infested office. Lots of clues that there's a backstory (why so many meds? Three plates at the table...is he married with a child or does he have roommates or does he set out plates for his demons and also why is that little rabbit plush from House Flipper following me?), but it doesn't matter because it's time to go to our job (according to every bit of info we've gotten, it goes from 3 p.m.-11 p.m. but also it's dark outside and 3 a.m. when we get there so did we lose 12 hours or was that just a typo?). We get there, we clean, we get slaughtered by at least one but possibly more mannequins (maybe? Maybe it's a serial killer who hangs out with mannequins and wears a creepy latex mask?). Now here's a guy in an office practically oozing with backstory hints (alcohol bottles, a note from his boss about his alcoholism, wads of paper everywhere...I'm sure if I could open the desk I'd find red string) but all that really matters is clicking the appropriate number of very white rectangles until he gets the call to go investigate (why is he so obsessed?). Go to the office, do a couple puzzles, find some bodies, get slaughtered. Wall of text for a bit of closure at the end and boom. Cheevos. Like, yay, I guess? There's a spooky skeleton here and I wish there were more. This is like a demo for a game that could be WAY COOLER. I'll still recommend but dang.

eu nao esperava muita coisa, mas receber nada é complicado

boring and too short

Last Shift was my first experience with a game by redsroll, and while it didn’t fully stand out, it shows clear effort—especially considering this is the developer’s first Steam release. For a roughly one-hour horror experience priced at $3, it lands in an awkward middle ground: not bad by any means, but not quite compelling enough at full price. The story centers on a late-night cleaning job tied to a string of disappearances. As the narrative unfolds, you learn that workers have been systematically lured to this location by someone exploiting their mental vulnerabilities. A detective investigating the case follows the same trail, only to ultimately fall victim himself. While the police later piece together the victims’ stories, the killer remains unidentified. It’s a straightforward plot, but it flows logically and stays coherent throughout its runtime. Gameplay is simple and linear, fitting the walking-sim horror style. The pacing is fine, and the game doesn’t overstay its welcome. Sound design does its job—ambient noises and cues help sell the atmosphere—but it never reaches a level that truly elevates the tension. There are a few scares, though none that feel particularly memorable or inventive. One notable issue is visibility. The flashlight, especially in the cave sections, is extremely weak. At times, I couldn’t see the surrounding walls at all and had to stare at the floor just to follow the path forward. This felt less like intentional tension and more like a technical limitation. Overall, Last Shift is a decent first effort. It’s functional, understandable, and shows promise, but it would benefit from stronger atmosphere, better lighting, and a slightly lower price point. At $1 or on sale, it’s an easy recommendation. As it stands, I’m still interested in seeing what redsroll creates next. — The Ember Archives https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45601239/

All right little horror game.

was good game didnt spook me but gg game

quente mas é ruim!

A decent little indie-horror work simulator. This game has been done a billion times before, but on sale for just over $1 is totally worth it. There is some decent atmosphere but then it just ends! Classic indie-horror lol with a WTF? But, that is the Last Shift.

The game was going great until the detective walked into the office with the boxes. Found the note about the key. Looked everywhere for a good amount of time, could not find the key, got bored, and quit. Could not finish the game. Rating: 0/10

i think for the money it was not to bad and a little short in game play,there was a good jump scare that did get me but as a game goes it was very atmospheric and dark to say the least...but a solid game liked how they watch you as you go around lol......ill score this 10/10 ty dev
