The Night Shift
THE NIGHTSHIFT
Do your best at work on the night shift despite the inexorable advance of sleep. But remember that your work on nuclear power plant safety is vital. Don't make a mess!
A video game made for the game jam Brackeys 2025.1 with the theme "nothing can go wrong".
Overview
In this game, you are a security staff member at a nuclear power plant, and you just have to react to alerts via your control panel. The only little hitch is that you have the night shift and are very sleepy, but you only have to pull down a few levers and press buttons here and there, so what could go wrong?
Finish your shift without any disasters and take home the day.
How to Play
Look around by moving the mouse
Lights and alarms announce when something is wrong. Don't ignore them, or the plant will be damaged. After 3 damages, you are fired (and you will probably have unleashed a nuclear disaster on the region)
Solve each problem with the nearest associated command
To interact with the control panel, simply point to it with your mouse and left-click
When sleepiness sets in, help keep yourself awake by slapping the space key, even repeatedly; don't overdo it, or your cheeks will hurt, and you won't want to do it again for a while
If you fall asleep, try waking up by quickly shaking the mouse
If sleep is unbearable and you keep falling asleep, try coffee or wet your face with water
Do all this and end your day successfully. Nothing can go wrong.

the game itself is a great setup for what could be an even better game. WIth some extra development I think this game could be worth 5 bucks on steam.
Very funny idea! At the end became very difficult! Nice work
