Bought it within a 65% discount and for this price it's really worthy. Took me around two hours to fully complete the game, but if you'll rush through you can probably finish it in 1-1/2hrs. The graphics really surprised me for looking this good, so I spended a 'lil time taking some pretty screens too. 'Graveyard Shift' was not that scary , but at least got me two times with some really mean placed jumpscares..^^ Well, let's be honest- it's not well optimized and runs a bit unstable. Also some FPS drops occourred, but really..who cares about FPS in this game. So, I would say: Round about, 'Graveyard Shift' was a pretty solid game for it's discount, but I wouldn't have bought it in full price cause it's really too short for that.

Short but scary and fun to play on weekend nights and not too many jumpscares.

Is this a prequel to Homeless? I really liked Homeless so I checked out this dev's other game. You are a night security guard in this one as well and you are working at a cemetary outside New York City. The character seems to have a troublesome past and two horror characters reappeared in Homeless so they seem to have haunted him for a while. Anyways, I loved Graveyard Shift just as much as Homeless. It's a very good walking sim with terrifying atmosphere. I recommend playing both games in the correct order though as the description isn't telling you that this is a prequel. Can't wait to see more from this dev, I'm following them now.

Genuinely the best horror game of the screamer genre. It is not RE, not outlast, nothing even remotely close. If they base off immersion, this one is fully screamer-based. However, it was scary, very scary. From dozens of horrors played, this game is actually the one where I feared to open doors or to look from the window. Took a few water and air breaks. I don't understand why people rate it so low. I mean, this game has a relatively small location, indeed lacks new ideas, but the game is just scary and the atmosphere is just perfect. Like I can't describe it to you. It seems basic from the distance, but when you play it, it is very scary. I would pay a higher price if needed, despite how short it is. I played it a long time ago, but I still remember it because how good of an experience I had. Think of it as paying for a roller coaster ride that you will remember for months to come.

I loved this game, the Whispering Winds Cemetery is a very gloomy and creepy place. It has some pretty well-done "jump scares." It was a little short for me but I really enjoyed it.
