✦ AI summary

Orphic - The midnight shift is a mild horror detective game praised for its atmosphere, graphics, and jumpscares, but players report significant performance issues with frame rate drops in certain areas and unclear mechanics that need better explanation. The game runs adequately on standard PCs but struggles on Steam Deck, and optimization improvements would strengthen what some see as a promising foundation.

It's a really good game if you are looking for mild horror detective like games. Good graphics, jumpscares and atmosphere. I recommend! :)

Needs better optimization and better explanation of how the tools in game work. I was playing on a Steam Deck and some areas would hit 60 fps and others drop down to 15 fps. Graphics are okay F button doesn't work the flashlight but number 1 did just in case anyone has trouble with that. I'm not sure what the game is but if they fix optimization they might have something here. For now it's a no on steam deck but a good PC should be fine playing this. 5.5/10 with a soft recommend for those not on a Steam Deck.
