Will I Survive The Night? | Midnight Shift | Indie Horror Game

[@hody.8381]

I've got a soft spot for these "night shift but something spooky happens" games. They're almost always so cozy. My favourite probably being the convenience store by Chilla's Art.

[@blossoms7815]

Ah! I feel exactly the same! Wth! Like seriously! Especially if youre watching on some cold rainy days!

[@jordanmorales2943]

there’s one he did with some lady who basically goes through an abandoned place, i forgot the name but you start off in the apartment bro check it out !!

[@JoMiMo555]

So glad I'm not alone on that! I'll watch the Resident Evil ones while I'm eating dinner. These I always save for bedtime and hot chocolate.

[@skylx0812]

The 70s tv horror movie "Gargoyles" that had the huge demonic looking gargoyle walk out of the dark and underneath the fluorescent lights of a gas station awning seemed like such a violation. It made it seemed like anything could happen at a lone gas station or roadside store. I get the creeps if I ever have to stop at one at night.

[@shatterglassgames]

Hey hey. Thx for playing and great video. I laugh so hard at my misspells that I almost didn’t patched them out. I may reference the thirty year old axe in a future game just for you. Lol. Again, great video like always!

[@Tina.Di.Napoli]

Don't fix them out, they got people to laugh 😁 I like the game, you did a great job 👍 please more of this

[@mrdeer111]

❤❤❤👍

[@JoMiMo555]

Honestly the misspellings kind of gave the game a bit of extra charm. I really enjoyed this one, there's quite a bit of promise here. Best of luck and I look forward to your future projects!

[@vernonwilliams8344]

I work overnight making donuts. Games like this hit home because I experience strange things every night. Our store is haunted and there are times where I literally look at the surveillance cameras wondering if they see what just happened. If not ghosts, the store is located just off the highway, people just walk and drive up to the location even though we are very out way of the rest areas.

[@arin2289]

this would freak me out so much 😭. i hated when i was a night manager man, so many creepy and crazy things be happening. you be safe man

[@beverlyarcher546]

@@arin2289 Can be scary at home by yourself to until 2-3am in the morning it took me months to get to every little noise when dad started working night shift but then you have idiots who you know never worked nightshift or worked at all or been in a house with someone who works or worked nightshift cause they don't respect them like my stupid aunt we tell her to come after a certain time like 2 when dad wakes up to go to work just to be an evil woman when it comes to mowing she comes at 1 you tell her to come later she will come at 11 the problem is her mower is loud and this place echoes she doesn't care theres a reason we tell her to come after a certain time it was this bad when my grandparents were alive and dad worked at another place and they always came banging on the door and that room is right near the front door my dad works 5pm to 2-3am my brother has a later time 11pm to 5a-6am so her mowing doesn't bother him he about could sleep through anything but god forbid if you went to her house while her husband was asleep and made more noise then a whisper really😠

I bet you hear this games theme song when you are walking to work don't you?

[@skylx0812]

Try working a resort built over an old graveyard. There were two well known "ghosts" said to haunt the place. An old woman and mischevious little boy. The staff areas required key cards to access and late afternoon to overnight shifts would often say they'd hear a door open then catch a glimps of a child run pass an open door. Then hear a giggle far down the hall.

[@cafedetaza83]

Chris: Today is the day. I'm gonna be brave. Not more introverted behavior. Today, I'm gonna confront my murderer Murderer: Honks* Chris: NONONONONONONONONONONO

[@evyswonderland1569]

its funny cause I could literally visualize Chris with a plunger in his hands like a sword/knife going out toward a car to defend his honor. Just to run back into wherever he was hiding. lol

[@konstantine8054]

The looong pause title must be one of the BEST intros you've done! You had me laughing before the first minute of the game.

Also, interestingly enough (well at least for me), this video comes out the evening before a new job in a small shop. Wish me luck, everyone.

[@BASCILLICUS]

i work as a custodian and just got home from work and this was my first video pick to watch tonight - i had to clean a diarrhea disaster toilet myself on today's shift, so that super dramatic zoom-in on the toilet disaster was really fuckin funny. i like the voice you gave to the killer, you matched the vibe of his blabber-talk very well! the end was unexpected lmao

[@chayychayythebaddie8340]

U signed up for that tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Iznessmaurer]

This is my second comment, and not to reveal TMI but I am going through a pretty bad depression but this game, Chris’ commentary and his up-beat energy actually made me laugh a bit. So… thank you very much, indeed. Long time sub, took a long break but it’s good to watch again. Genuinely hope everyone is well 🙏

[@melliethemortician]

As someone who works overnights its genuinely when the weird shit happens. From people breaking in to ask for a mcchicken, breaking in to use the bathroom, banging on our windows just to stare in, trying to climb through the drive thru windows, and yes customers who clog the toilets etc its horrible lol. Luckily never encountered an axe murderer.

[@kristi94]

Something about night shift games set in shops or gas stations makes them so appealing!

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

Chris was really expecting that Title to be shown right when he was gonna say it, but the game clearly wanted to troll him.

[@hanneserwing]

As much as I love RE4:Remake, this is the stuff I subscribed for in the first place! "Hello, and welcome to another indie horror game" is just Pavlovian response for a good time at this point! Keep it up Chris, we all love you!

[@cmdrxmikey7718]

[@Maru-chan95]

We watch your videos every night before bed and night shift themed games are always a fave. Generally any retro looking ones or if they have liminal spaces (although you never like them, we really appreciate you playing). Thank you cj!!!

[@ErinJeanette]

Chris must be eligible for district manager at this point with all the gas station jobs he's worked 😂

[@shroomyk]

I liked your killer voice, Chris. Also I actually really appreciate the devs didn't go for the "killer in the back seat" cliche. The shot of the roof at the end actually subverted my expectations in a very pleasant way.

Hey Chris! Are you gonna doing a let's play of "Dredge" at some point? Would be cool to see you play it and hear your thoughts on it🙏🏻

[@scaredyjew]

Bro, even though I do Horror Games too, I always prefer watching you when you do them also. Cuz unlike all these other guys, you dont have some silly gimmick or some over exaggerated reactions and crap like that. You just be yourself, play the game and show your actual reactions. Everyone else just tries way too hard by adding gimmicks instead of just playing the game. I respect your recordings for that.

[@0Ciju0]

Hey Cju, been following you for a while, wanted to say thanks for being so consitent & down to earth!

[@flyingtentacle7631]

9:14 I wish I had that level of positivity when I worked at a gas station

My axe is thirty! must have been the best typo ever, right after whatever was wrong with the door. XD As always: Thanks for playing, had me laugh so hard already during the intro. :D PS: The PILICE?! Who was rushing over their keyboard - slipping with butterfingers - while making the game?!

Midnight shift theme games is becoming the new lighthouse themed game trend

[@cubablue602]

These night shift set ups are always effective. You're never sure what event is going to trigger another event. Maybe they should let you access everywhere and not restrict you to interiors all of a sudden. Let you leg it off down the street or attack with a crap stained plunger lol

Hi Scriptor13. I hope this doesn’t come across as creepy but I clearly remember chatting a little with you on here a few years ago. I recall that we had an interesting comment exchange. Anyway, I just felt like saying hello and I hope you’re doing well. Oh, and If you don’t recall chatting with me then my sincere apologies as I don’t like to freak out anyone, and I hope I haven’t freaked you out or anything like that. Ciao 😊

[@Scriptor13]

@@Iznessmaurer Yes, I _do_ remember having quite an engaging chat, Iznessmaurer! Tbh, the topic is fuzzy but that doesn't really matter--it was an enjoyable exchange. And, no, reaching out in kindness is not creepy and never freaks me out. 😊 I'm doing okay, thank you for asking. I see that you've been in a dark space and I hope that the sun breaks through for you sooner rather than later. (Did we share about such things in our conversation? I think we did.) Life definitely has its up and downs and the downs often have a way of blindsiding one. Sending positive energy. Feel free to chat with me whenever... 😄

@@Scriptor13 Hey Scriptor13. I’m glad I didn’t freak you out. Thanks very much for replying, and I very much appreciate your kindness with regard to my current episode of depression. It’s lots of fun, for sure lol. I agree-life definitely has its ups and downs, and the downs can totally blindside. I too am fuzzy on what we chatted about. Just remember thinking it was a bit of a relief to enjoy an interesting conversation for once. Thank you kindly for the well wishes. I expect to recover over the next couple of months which will be a big relief. One can only hope. I hope that your health is good. How long have you been into indie horror games? Do you have any favourites? I feel I’ve already written way too much but, for what it’s worth, I do like indie horror games that are a bit different and not so formulaic, and I love an interesting or different kind of aesthetic as well. These kinds of games aren’t so easy to find, I’ve found. What do you value most in indie horror games? Sorry for the long message. Hope things are going well for you 😊

[@lokicooper4690]

The fact you can slide the lock closed on the back door is a nice touch. So many games don't bother with little details like that. The spell check was obviously not on in this game. Lol! Pity you couldn't run in the game though. Maybe next game..

That was fun! While I agree that there were moments where the pacing seemed to lag, overall the game was enjoyable and didn’t have trouble taking itself too seriously. I enjoyed the comedic effect of when the main character finds the gross bathroom and the dancing at the end was cute. I wish it wasn’t quite so linear at times, like when you can call the cops, but it was still enjoyable overall.

[@KOU-ZAI]

This was actually fun. It delivered the tension where it's needed, and I felt that the misspelling of words just adds to the charm of the game, alongside that toilet scene and the ending at the roof (there's even that guffaw at 33:07 - 33:15). XDD I gotta say though, "my axe is thirty" had to be the best one.

Too close to window glass view . He had bullet proof vest. Poor cop. Ugh. Funny him dancing. 😂 there should been running plus also the bus picks you up.

[@ValosiTiamata]

Normally, typos would be a bad thing, but considering the other humour found in the game, they ended up being a welcome addition. Also, with the killer on the roof... I mean, loose... and the protagonist driving away in a dead cop's car, I kind of hope we get a sequel. After all, ion the US, at least, if you're not a cop and are caught driving a police car (especially when the cop it was assigned to is quite dead), it's usually a very bad ending for the driver. Perhaps that was the intention of the crazed killer all along.
