Shift at Midnight Guide
Use the same admission routine for every customer: read the paperwork, compare the computer record, ask one targeted question, watch behavior, and keep traps, barricades, doors, windows, hiding, and silence ready if a monster gets through.
Quick actions
Open the player job in front of you
Each route leads to a current table, a repeatable first-session step, or a recovery flow.
Current blockers
The shift is an evidence problem before it becomes a chase
Start from the problem you can name, then take the smallest safe next action.
Open route
The story feels wrong but the papers match
Use one targeted follow-up and watch whether the answer or behavior changes under pressure.
Something already got inside
Switch from investigation to containment. Traps, barricades, closed routes, hiding, and silence now matter more than the next customer.
First shift route
Build one repeatable admission routine
Do not improvise a new check order for every customer. A fixed order makes contradictions easier to notice and gives a co-op team a shared callout language.
- 1Read the paperwork
Compare visible identity details before the conversation creates a bias.
- 2Open the computer record
Check the same fields in the database and name the exact mismatch out loud.
- 3Ask one useful question
Choose a question that can confirm or break the current story instead of repeating a weak cue.
- 4Watch behavior
Treat a behavior change as another signal, not automatic proof by itself.
- 5Make one admission call
One player owns the final door decision so the team does not undo its own evidence work.
Game systems
Give every co-op player a distinct job
The useful split is evidence ownership, not three people asking the same customer the same question.
| System | Player job | First move |
|---|---|---|
| Paperwork | Read the ID and call out the exact field under review. | Start before questioning. |
| Computer | Compare the database record and preserve the contradiction. | Repeat the mismatched field. |
| Questioning | Spend the limited follow-up on the strongest unresolved doubt. | Ask for one falsifiable answer. |
| Defense | Keep traps, doors, windows, and the hiding route ready. | Prepare before a breach. |

Player questions
Shift at Midnight FAQ
Answers reflect the current status and check date shown on this hub.
Is Shift at Midnight multiplayer?
Yes. It supports solo play and online co-op for up to three players.
How do you check a customer?
Compare paperwork and computer data, ask a targeted question, and use behavior as supporting evidence before the final admission call.
What should the team do after a monster gets inside?
Stop normal service, deploy traps, barricade access, close the route into the hiding area, and reduce noise while the threat is active.
Does one strange behavior prove a customer is a monster?
Treat behavior as one evidence lane. A factual contradiction across paperwork, computer data, or answers is a safer basis for the call.
