About
Experience "a night of overtime you’ve grown accustomed to" in this ultra-short horror game.
But unlike the usual grind, the entire office tonight feels…off, ominous and Strange.
Your coworkers are nowhere to be found. The lights are dim. And something — or someone — unknown is lurking.
Can you make it until the end of your shift?
Overtime Syndrome – A Night Shift Story is a free, ultra-short horror game.
In this game, you take on the role of Max, an overworked corporate drone stuck on yet another late-night shift — only this time, something’s not quite right. Strange and unsettling events begin to unfold. As Max, you’ll try to finish your work and make it through the night… hopefully alive.

Experience the night shift from Max’s own eyes.
Control Max as you complete tasks, collect items, and follow mysterious leads in the hope of leaving work early — or at least leaving alive.

This decades-old company has a story of its own.
In this game, piece together the background of the company, uncover the hidden truth behind its decaying office, and discover the cause of the strange events you’re experiencing.

Who carries a old flashlight everywhere?

This game is unplayable, every time there's something said it makes me wait minutes before I can contine
Fun quick game, made me jump a few times but it's not all that difficult and a fun time killer for about half an hour or so.
I like the game except for the fact that I don't know where the key is for the storage. Would love a hint for that. Also I don't understand the monster and why it's in my office? Anyway. It was ok. 4/10 on the pear scale.

免费的还说啥了,夯爆了
You will likely fail on your first attempt. Or first dozen. But it was a fun playthrough! I played on stream and it was great for getting chat interactive! I would not call horror but def spooky vibes with a few jump scares. Would recommend.
probably the most unscary horror game ever and nothing made sense
The grammar could be better lol But for a free game, this was pretty fun. I do recommend. Here's my video so you can decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_qSCWf-ElI
музыки немного есть и звуки давящие норм, качество графики прям отличное: и ноги с руками есть, и отражения героя в окнах, и вообще без пикселей, НО нет вертикальной синхронизации и картинка в движении ОЧЕНЬ СИЛЬНО портит восприятие. если кто знает, как получить другие концовки, пожалуйста, отпишитесь, а то тут нет реководств по достягам
