Overtime Syndrome - A Late Night Shift Story

Honestly, I really like the concept of this game. Overworking to exhaustion, and you begin to see things, it honestly probably happens to a lot of people. The movement, graphics and whatnot aren't really too bad. The design of the "monster/creature" isn't necessarily scary either, but it's not bad. I noticed a funny glitch (I'm not sure if it's intentional or not) but when the picture of the monster/creature comes out of the printer in the meeting room, if you stand on it you start spinning around, my stream thought that was really funny and so did I. I will say, this game has a good amount of bugs that I came across, and sometimes you'll get sent back to the beginning and have to restart for seemingly no reason. For example, I was trying to get the rest of the achievements I didn't get in my first run so I went again. While heading to get the storage room key, instead of interacting with the monster (because I did in my first play-through) I just walked straight to the desk to get the key and it sent me back to the start. I don't know if that was an intentional thing or not but I thought it was pretty weird. Another glitch that I came across was at the end while trying to leave, the "black salt" action wouldn't work despite hitting the button that I, (the player) was told to press. And so, I lost. There's just a lot of small glitches that make the game not so fun. Something I will give credit to though is the attention to detail, the method for getting the numbers for the safe was creative, along with the paintings/windows changing due to the different scenes. One thing that held me up for awhile was trying to find the "fuse box" because the fuse box in this game, does not at all look like a fuse box. It looks like a light, and I was genuinely so confused when I finally found it. Another thing I have to make note of is the grammar within the dialogue of this game. I'm not sure if it's translated, or if it's just misspelled but some of the dialogue doesn't really make sense because of how it's worded. I couldn't personally say I recommend this game simply because it is quite buggy, and because it's not very scary, but it has a bit of a story to it and it's not really bad! If you're looking for a game to stream, or just for something to play, I'd recommend it to you, but it just isn't all that great.

Игра 'Overtime Syndrome - A Late Night Shift Story' оказалась неожиданно увлекательной. Несмотря на пиксельную графику и кажущуюся простоту, она затягивает своей атмосферой и детективным сюжетом. История о ночной смене и странных событиях в офисе хорошо продумана, и хочется разгадать тайну, стоящую за происходящим. Геймплей простой, но интуитивно понятный: ходим, собираем улики, общаемся с немногочисленными коллегами. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально подходит под мрачную и тревожную атмосферу. Из минусов можно выделить разве что короткую продолжительность, хотелось бы больше времени провести в этом загадочном офисе. В целом, это отличная игра для тех, кто любит небольшие, но атмосферные детективные истории с элементами хоррора. Рекомендую к ознакомлению, особенно если ищете что-то, что можно пройти за один вечер. 8/10.

cant get past first dialogue because nothing happens

the paper from the copying machine flies out the window, you cant progress further, they had a small update today, the game wont even load. 1/10

It was okay i guess? Good graphic, but it wasnt scary.

It was OK. Couple good scares but too many glitches that had me restart from the beginning. Without the bugs I'd give it a thumbs up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9_tWniwTwo

You cant even get past the first objective. Even after restarting 6 times it still throws the paper through the wall and it's impossible to complete it. From the preview and the positive reviews it seems like a good game and I think I would enjoy it but it is literally impossible to play past the first 5 minutes of the game. Please fix this.
