Players must manage their resources, keep their cool, and use their judgment to distinguish between the tricks of the shadows and genuine threats.
Graveyard Shift immerses players in a full-bodied horror experience, emphasizing a palpable sense of dread and the acute stress of facing the unknown. As the hours tick by, the game intensifies, pushing players to their limits with psychological twists and horrifying revelations.
