About Night Shift Nurses
A washed-up mad doctor gets a second chance from an unexpected source: the former subject of his deranged experiments. The '90s classic visual novel returns with a modern remake!
Ryuji Hirasaka. A depraved doctor with severe personality issues. Despite his genius, he has no interest in anything but humiliating and toying with other people, whom he views as nothing more than subjects to use for his experiments.
One day, Hirasaka receives a request to work on a temporary basis at St. Juliana Hospital. Waiting there for him is one of his former victims—Narumi Jinguji.
Narumi makes Hirasaka an unexpected proposal. Her goal is to create the world's most corrupt hospital ward, and she wants Hirasaka’s help to mold the perfect staff for it.
Hirasaka finds himself perplexed by such an extraordinary proposal. However, the chance to finally realize his twisted ambitions is a temptation he cannot resist. Will St. Juliana Hospital become a den of mad science, or will Hirasaka's incompetence and unlikability spell the end for the Night Shift before it even begins?
Ren Nanase (Voice: Kaname Shirotsuki)
One of Hirasaka’s new charges, and a candidate to become a nurse on the special ward.
To Hirasaka, she is the perfect test subject. Her looks and her devoted approach to patient care make her the epitome of an “angel in white.
Upon first meeting Hirasaka, Ren's straightforward personality leads her to treat him with sincerity and respect rather than avoid him.
Ako Fujisawa (Voice: Nagomi Naruse)
One of the candidates to become a nurse on the special ward.
A mild-mannered woman, she evokes the image of a sheltered beauty with a somehow otherworldly quality about her. Her quiet personality seems to act against her, and she often gets teased.
Ako appears to be aware of this aspect of herself too.
Hikaru Kodama (Voice: Haruto Tsuruya)
One of the candidates to become a nurse on the special ward.
Extremely energetic, she could be sympathetically described as naïve. A less generous assessment might be that she is mentally immature, without a hint of womanly charm or composure.
However, when with her patients, Hikaru shows herself to be an extremely devoted and tolerant nurse, winning her a great deal of trust. She’s feisty too, and doesn’t hesitate to let Hirasaka know exactly what she thinks of him.
Remi Shinjo (Voice: Kanna Natsuki)
One of the candidates to become a nurse in the special ward.
A clean freak and a perfectionist, she is hard on both herself and others in her role as nurse supervisor. While herself brilliant, she is just as intolerant of her subordinates’ mistakes as her beautiful yet severe appearance suggests.
Although this talented queen bee tends toward a prideful and confrontational manner, she shows a fragile, delicate side when her own failings are pointed out.
Makoto Karino (Voice: Mako Ayane)
A patient, admitted after being involved in a car accident. Currently receiving rehabilitation for the aftereffects of the crash.
The daughter of the head surgeon, her selfish behavior causes those around her to see her as a nuisance. Her arrogant personality leads her to treat Hirasaka as a piece of trash from the get-go.
Narumi Jinguji (Voice: Mashiro Kazahana)
One of the most influential people at the hospital, she is the one to suggest the plan that kicks off our story.
While both talented and beautiful, her true intentions remain shrouded in mystery. Why would she propose this plan in spite of the fact she has been on the receiving end of Hirasaka’s evil ways in the past? What led her to go out of her way to invite the very object of her hatred to work with her?
None see beyond her bewitching mask to the truth that lies hidden within.

Assuming mosaic censorship is their version of "uncensored" after applying the patch from their website, not worth the price tag.5 found this helpful
I have not been more disappointed in my entire life to be honest. I really like visual novels, the dating sims, the horrors, etc. Even as a female viewer, I am aware that visual novels almost always target a male audience, and I'm fine with that really. But I cannot defend this game, it's straight up just not worth your time or money. First, the positives I have are the amazing voice actors and artist who put these main components together. I really love the artist's work for Remi-san's art. The voice actor for Hikaru is also very cute! (that might be me just liking tsundere characters though.) Now onto the story factor, this is absolutely disappointing. I'm not sure of the accuracy of the medical field, that's not my concern as many animes and stories have fantasized these sort of work environments all the time, I don't really care. My issue is the fact that the story had a prologue, and just wanted to end so quickly. We JUST got introduced to the characters, and that was it? This made me wonder if I had bought a demo or a prologue to a full game but that turns out to be untrue. This....is the full game? I understand the game stated it's about 30 minutes long, but seriously? You…3 found this helpful
Night Shift Nurses is a visual novel developed and published by Shiravune that has earned a reputation as one of the more infamous adult titles to emerge from Japan’s visual novel scene. Originally released decades ago and later reintroduced to modern audiences, the game combines psychological drama, mature storytelling, and controversial themes within a hospital setting. Rather than following the formula of a traditional romance visual novel, it explores corruption, ambition, and manipulation through a narrative that intentionally pushes its characters into morally questionable territory. The result is a game that remains memorable not because of its shock value alone, but because of how completely it commits to its dark premise. The story follows Ryuji Hirasaka, a talented physician whose intelligence is matched only by his lack of ethics. After a troubled past damages his reputation, he is offered an opportunity to work at St. Juliana Hospital. There he reunites with Narumi Jinguji, a woman connected to his past who proposes an ambitious and disturbing plan. Together they seek to transform a hospital ward into an environment driven by personal desires and corruption rather than…1 found this helpful
If you experience crashes when animated CG cutscenes play, go to Windows Settings > Display > Graphics > Advanced graphics settings, and disable "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling". This worked for me. By the way, I didn't feel comfortable when playing with the patch. It obliterated the line. Giving the thumbs up is just a habit. [b]Extremely NOT RECOMMENDED for people who pursuit pure and voluntary love relationship.[/b] Won't play it anymore. I regret, and I did not expect these even after reading the official description. To be honest, I seldom feel angry when playing games. This game is one of those. Don't buy unless you are 100% sure about what you are going to play. Apologies, my boundaries overpower the habit -- the review is changed to a thumbs down.
worst mc of all time bruh. at least the girls r cute i js wish this guy could die
