Session Notes: Night Shift
“I didn’t want you to be alone on this ride… Can you guess where I am?”
Overview
Session Notes: Night Shift is a short, narrative-driven psychological horror game set entirely on a night bus route. You play as a bus attendant trying to complete your shift while an unseen, paranormal presence begins to influence your passengers — and you.
Story
The reason you quit your previous jobs was darker than you thought. A paranormal entity has latched onto your life—its whispers echo in your ears. In an attempt to break the cycle, you take one last chance: working as a bus attendant for an intercity coach company.
With only your doctor’s advice, your passenger tablet, and your instincts to rely on, the journey begins. The ringing returns. And the same voice asks again:
“Is everyone on the bus normal?”
Gameplay Features
Passenger Evaluation System – Interact with passengers, observe their behavior, and decide who might be hiding the entity. You can eject up to three passengers during the four-stop route.
High-Stakes Decisions – Each choice affects the outcome of your shift and can lead to multiple endings. Wrong calls have irreversible consequences.
Tablet Control Panel – Monitor upcoming stops, respond to passenger requests, and manage refreshment inventory through an in-game device.
Atmospheric Horror – A confined setting inside a moving bus, dynamic lighting, and environmental sounds build constant tension.
Multiple Outcomes – Your decisions determine whether you survive the night or fall victim to the entity.
The bus rolls through the dark. Before the ringing takes over your mind—make your choice. Will you save yourself… or your passengers?
