A supermarket at night can be quite a strange place; drunkards, fights and even the occasional chicken coming back to life. Manage your nightshift employees to successfully deal with as many bizarre situations as possible, and keep the store from descending into chaos until your shift ends.

๐Ÿ›’ Meet the "HEROES"

Tonight's rota has a stacked staff list. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and teaming up will help them tackle problems way faster than they could alone - despite how unlikely a team they may seem to be.


๐Ÿ’ช The Strength of the Operation - Daniel's more than just the on-site muscle, he's also been brushing up on his knowledge on the occult! Rumour has it though, that's just to pull the new goth girl at his gym.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Bravest of the Bunch - Tara's been microdosing on horror media since she could hold a bottle of hair dye. Nothing can scare her now; vomit, ghosts, and confrontation are all easy for her to handle. Since she wanders into these situations with her head held so high though, it can feel as though she's looking down on the customers.

๐Ÿ’ฌ The Heart of the Store - Stephanie's silver tongue can talk even the fussiest customer out of a formal compliant. While her bright smile can also draw people to sign up for her Legs-Bums-And-Tums classes down at the local gym, expect it to disappear if you ask her to deal with the stickier situations that can occur.

๐Ÿ‘ฎ The Try-Hard - Blair's been egging for a promotion for months now; he can tell you where everything is, how to fix it calmly, and even seems to have some kind of bargain with the ghosts in aisle 5 when the lights start to flicker. Despite all this, his inability to lift heavy stock or greet customers with a genuine smile is really holding him back from a sweet pay rise.

๐Ÿ™† The Work Mum - Karen's been here longer than anybody else, but she's a lot slower than she used to be. She's rarely on the nightshift since she does the community school-run in the mornings, and can be persuaded to give most chancers a discount with a simple "please" - but she'll always have a smile even when answering the dumbest of questions.

โญ The Reason We've Not Shut Down - Theo's... still here?! Even though at a glance he looks like a ghost himself, the work-groupchat speaks of times he's handled just about any scenario with an air of grace and saved the shift on many occasions. It feels like he can really do about any task, and could even be holding back since he's trying to avoid a pay rise to avoid paying even more income tax.

Really enjoyed playing your game. It was not difficult, but just very fun to fit the best characters in the right tasks. Love the extra of detail on the characters. Also enjoyed the fact the character actually walk in the shop.

I appreciate the game being paused when choosing the team for the task ๐Ÿ˜„
