the night shift @thenightshift-interactive - Tumblr Blog

Somewhere on the outer side of a town at the cusp of a verdant green, sprawling forest, lies a gas station, open 24 hours, 7 day a week. With it's six out of eight working fuel pumps, one of which has been known to leak some oozing substance that you will not touch, and yes- a guy's been called about it.

An old weather-vane attached to the roof with nothing more that some form of hope and prayer, that serves little but to add a 'homeliness' to the place. And a crumbling cork-board with it's fair share of missing posters, nearly rivaling those for a "Community Seance Seminar" that the unofficial-Shire Council keeps advertising. It's just like any other gas station.

A night shift position is yours for the taking.

And you don't have much of a choice.

I am Now Here // To Nowhere

To Nowhere // I am Now Here is an in-development Sugarcube Twine Interactive Fiction written for the Smoochie Jam 2024.

You are a cowboy in the post-apocalypse, tasked with the important job to deliver the mail across the ice-sheets and endless polar desert of a frozen earth. Following the shortwave radio signals of forgotten towns, and the occasional helpful traveler, you and your partner navigate this wasteland for a hope of humanity at dawn.

Features + Semi-Customizable Player Character; appearance, pronouns, gender, sexuality. Play as a middle-aged person navigating a world you no longer recognise. + A singular, established romantic relationship with your pardner. + A focus on building platonic and professional relationships with others; finding that balance between work and self in a world that no longer has the luxury to separate each. + Name your horse.

Hi everyone! For the past month I have been working on a little story for the 2023 ShuffleComp jam. And then about two days in I got an eviction notice. So while I couldn't work on The Night Shift as much as I would have liked, I did want to submit something for Shufflecomp.

Starfisher is about moving back home, going fishing, and maybe a little more.

So could you tells us more about it? is going to have romance?

hello, yes, yes there will be romance.

The Night Shift will have very messy romance, but it is romance nonetheless. It is rated 18+ for numerous reasons, and one of those reasons is that there will be sexually explicit material (with an option to fade to black).

So far, the main romance I'm working on (there is at least two characters that I am workshopping into ROs) is gender selectable in either being Some Boring Guy or a Disaster Butch Woman.

again, sorry that it's taking some time, my life itself is a little messy.

oh hello everyone new that's found this little place of mine.

I just want to clarify that yes, it's a bit empty, but I'm currently going through an eviction and am just sorting out a secure living space before I continue on here.

Thank you for your interest and I hope to show you something as soon as I am able.

So, just for clarification, since there are already 10+ different games called The Night Shift and a few more called just Night Shift, I'm assuming the fact that this apparently *doesn't* have a prologue yet means it isn't any of those?

It might of been one of them at some point but it was taken down and is getting a rewrite.

I'm fond of the name and bad at naming things so I kept it.

update

Unfortunately I am getting evicted, so any progress on this little story will be put on hold until I have a stable living situation.

I am still happy to answer any questions as vaguely as I can for your enjoyment, but for now the demo and intro post will be pushed back until further notice.
