About
Paranormal Night Shift is an observation and spot the anomaly game.
You and your partner, Gary, are ghost hunters. A desperate call from a family in distress leads you to a house in a residential area of North London, where strange phenomena are disrupting their daily lives.
Your job is to keep a close eye on the cameras and report any anomalies to your partner.
But be careful, this house is truly haunted and if you miss too many anomalies, you might not survive the night...
You will have three nights to play, 3 to 5 hours of gameplay, depending on your powers of observation, and a mystery to unfold gradually.
Keep your eyes peeled, ghost hunter, and good luck!

TL;DR: If you've played any of the IOOD games on hard mode and enjoy it, I personally think you'll enjoy playing this game. It's not overly hard, you get up to 4 anomalies before you risk failure. There is a story to the game. Not ALL anomalies are teeny tiny differences. I'll start by saying that if you like the I'm On Observation Duty games, especially if you've played them on Hard Mode, you'll probably enjoy this one. I saw a few posts say that if you fail and die, you restart - I'd like to expand on that: if you're on night 2 and you fail, you restart night 2, you do not restart at night 1. The mechanic of restarting the night is different from at least the newer (6, 7 + 8) IOOD games because those do not have "night 1" or "night 2" it's just one round on the chosen map. Paranormal Night Shift has a different mechanic since there's multiple nights, varying in difficulty; which I honestly prefer, especially since it comes with a bit of a story. I've seen some posts about it being pretty fast to fail you - I think that if you've got a good balance of looking and flipping, you'll get most anomalies. Even though I've failed the 2nd night a few times before I got the hang of it and built a routine, it makes it replayable - I would be bored if it was too easy, so I feel the balance of "obvious" to "teeny tiny" anomalies is fair. The clock bong is a teeny bit loud, even with my own pc volume down and the in-game audio down - just a thought, doesn't overly impact the gameplay. I’d love to see more, either updates to this game or similar projects. Expanding the story, adding maps, or exploring the company we work for and other families would be great. Overall, I enjoyed it and think it’s worth it if this genre is your jam.

Great game for something different for an evening. Gave me a few good scares too. Would love to see an update with different houses and levels to play.
very ez i did not rage quit multiple times :)
I RECEIVED THIS GAME FOR FREE THROUGH www.Keymailer.co.uk Having played sooo many varieties of paranormal and horror games i was particularly excited when the Devs reached out and gave me a key for the Game to play for free! Paranormal Night Shift – Full Review This game is great for getting your community involved whilst live streaming, especially when they are laughing and shouting at you because you have missed such an obvious anomaly.... (Not looking at you, bear with a knife in your stomach three times in a row) but i get a bit complacent with it.. too comfortable shall we say.. then i get S**T scared when she pops up and DOES ME IN... This has just the right amount of jump scares in it to keep you interested and on edge, but it also lets you relax a little... kind of puts you into a safety net where you think you can relax for a second then BAM! Some of the anomalies are right there in front of you and some are.... tooooo well hidden and then before you know it.. you succumed to DEATH. Great for creating laughs and clips with your community! Thank you! Great addition to my steam library! (i wanted to post clips to social media but it is difficult as the anomalies appear off the small portrait screen for Tiktok :( But i'm trying to find a way! ( Graphics ) ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ ☑ Good- exactly how i expected them to be for a security cam game ☐ Bad ( Gameplay ) ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ It’s just gameplay ☐ Don't waste your time and money ( Audio ) ☐ Very good ☑ Good - exactly the perfect amount of everything IMO ☐ Bad ☐ DEAFENING ( Audience ) ☐Everyone - ermmmm no ☐ Kids - also no. ☑ Teens - yup ☑ Adults - yup ☐ Grandma - DEFFO NOT ( PC Requirements ) ☐ Basic PC ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ( Difficulty ) ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn ☑ Lots to Remember - love the point and click tho. ☐ Difficult ( Grind ) ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Average ☐ Too much grind - TEDIOUS ( Story ) ☐ No story ☑ A Bit of story about the game at the start ☐ Average ☐ Good ( Game Time ) ☐ Spare 5 mins? ☑ Short - BUUUUTTT SWEET! ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ NEVER ending.... ( Price ) ☐ Free ☑ Worth the price ☐ On sale ☐ Spare money ☐ Not recommended ( Bugs ) ☐ Never heard of ☑ Don't think i have come across any yet. ☐ Very noticeable ☐ unplayable ( Score / 100 ) ☑ 60-70
Jeu testé en stream sur Twitch.tv/corbeauxdesbois Points forts : - Visuellement joli - Doublage FR appréciable - La mécanique du jeu fonctionne bien (détecter les anomalies, le jeu des 7 erreurs, etc...) et connue du grand public dans plusieurs jeux du même style - Quelques frayeurs bien amenées - Intro sympa (notamment la musique) Points faibles : - Parfois on se fait tuer (jumpscare) par l'entité alors que nous avions découvert l'anomalie qui était en cours de correction (donc dans le laps de temps, le jumpscare se déclenche et on meurt tout en ayant le signal visuel et audio d'avoir réussi à retirer une anomalie) Nous recommandons ce jeu aux fans du genre !
Loved this game! Have played it multiple times now and it is enjoyable every time. Highly recommend
Short horror game, but very captivating. If you're looking for a game mixing horror elements, jump scares, time ticking, "search and find", with a storyline (small), then this is for you. It took me a couple of trys to complete it, but all the search was worth it in the end.
I really enjoyed this take on the genre. It was challenging enough to make me work for a win and yet not so overwhelmingly difficult that I got too frustrated to continue.
Première fois que je teste un jeu du style surveillance Le gameplay est bon, l'ambiance est très bonne, la tension est comme il faut ... MAIS ... Le doublage français est plat et sans saveur. On rigole de l'interprétation et ça fait vraiment tâche dans cette ambiance horrifique paranormale. Le "combat" final est trop répétitif et casse tout le charme de l'ambiance construite jusque là. J'attends qu'un patch sorte afin que le bug de fin soit résolu, car IMPOSSIBLE de finir le jeu. Je suis resté coincé devant l'entité sans pouvoir changé d'écran à l'approche de 6h et ... "Vous êtes mort". Très agaçant. Malgré tout, je recommande le jeu pour les deux premières nuits.
This game has a great variety of anomalies to keep you entertained and looking for more! Not so much on the jumpscare front, as the game does have a "story" to follow, so some events can be essential (but also repetitive) It is only 3 nights of gameplay, but no night is the same, and it took me and my stream chat quite a few tries to beat night 3--and we were STILL finding new anomalies up to the very end! All in all, a very enjoyable experience!
