A downloadable Demo for Windows


Night Shift: 1999 is an upcoming 1-bit visual novel where you play as Isra, a centuries aged vampire, as she struggles to reintegrate into society. As a player-driven narrative tale, your choices will shape the story's outcomes. With five different routes and eleven endings, each playthrough will grant new rewards.

Balance work, vampirism, and socialising as you explore Kings Cross during the last year of the millennium. Keep a lid on your darkest desires and be rewarded with a deeper understanding of what it means to live again.

Or don’t — no one will stop you. You’re a vampire, after all.


Meet a cast of intriguing individuals all running from secrets of their own as you try to run from yours. The past will catch up eventually but what that means, you decide.

Experience heartbreak and betrayal — and maybe love, if you try hard enough — as you work the night shift at the local hospital. Everyone has a story of their own, and it's up to you to find that out.

After all, who wants to celebrate New Year's alone?


Find new ways to satiate your hunger that won't lead to a forced resignation — or a stake through the heart. As you come across a variety of blood bags, not all of them will be so forgiving.

Will you blend into the backdrop of humanity or push against the fold? It's up to you to decide what kind of person you want to be — or if you want to be a human at all. 

The consequences of your actions will always be close behind.


FEATURES:

  • Five characters of various origins to discover
  • Multiple endings per character
  • One secret route
  • Stylised 1-bit pixel art
  • Migratory loss and community building... but make it Supernatural(TM)
  • ... and in-game collectables!
