Stay Inside: After Shift

Game overview

Stay Inside: After Shift is a first-person psychological horror game set in 1996. You play as a night watchman, carrying out routines in an isolated industrial area surrounded by pine trees. The game focuses on the themes of routine and isolation, escalating tension through mundane tasks that slowly reveal something more sinister as the shifts progress.

Gameplay structure

The game’s single-player campaign consists of four distinct night shifts, each taking place on specific dates. You will experience three moments during each shift: The Job, which involves foot patrols and inspections; The Drive, where you commute home through dark, wet roads; and The House, where eerie elements continue to unfold after your shift ends, even in the safety of your home.
