About Graveyard Shift

After an underground military lab experiment goes horribly wrong, Steve the Janitor stirs from a long nap to an eerie silence.
Guide Steve to the surface, evading the mutant test subjects that can hear—but not see—everything he does.

Tread lightly


Tiptoe through corridors while monitoring the volume of your footsteps. Every sound wave travels far—and military mutants are not a fan of noise.

Carve out your escape route


Blast open walls and shatter windows to explore new areas or cause distractions.

Keep tabs on your resources


Choose between corridors filled with locked doors, angry mutants, and barricaded exits. Every key, bomb, and brick matters!

Ascend to the surface and uncover military secrets


Investigate abandoned computers and research notes as you slip through every floor, discovering the untold story behind the military catastrophe.

✦ AI summary

Graveyard Shift is a fun, charming game with enjoyable splash zone mechanics and non-intrusive storytelling that players appreciate. Common criticisms include repetitive level design and a desire for more variety in tools, items, and mechanics to keep gameplay fresh. Most players find it a decent way to pass time, though some feel the experience would benefit from fewer but more unique levels and deeper lore integration.

Recommended Aug 11, 2026
A fun game with some tricky levels! I’d love to see more items or different tools to use in future levels, as some of them felt a little too straightforward. I also liked the lore aspect, but I think it could be built up more, perhaps with collectibles or additional notes scattered throughout the levels or something. Overall, an enjoyable game to pass some time.

Cute game, fun splash zone based mechanics. Getting chased by the mutants made me scream a couple times. And non-intrusive dialogue is alway a plus! Very nice.

It's alright. My main complaint would be that the levels feel too samey. I'd prefer fewer levels, but more unique.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
