Interesting game! I included it in my PowerPoint Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Spooky, I like it!
Well made little horror game, with a nicely set up story & progression as the protagonist loses their sanity. I expected the twist at the end, but not the double twist! ;p well done, great entry :)
I sadly had some issues with the text coming out of the boxes they're in, which caused a lot of overlapping text in the last scene. Still had a good time though ^^

My PresentationThe added horror aspect to this pixel-art game is amazing and the use of sound effects seemed too lacking. Overall a great game. Also I liked the fact that I am giving him a $50 raise. hehe

Do Not Disturb! - DEMOThank you for leaving a comment. There's a PowerPoint export bug that causes sound effect loss in 1997-2003 version while the regular version is fine. I've re-exported a pack of this version and here is the link: https://rosaita.itch.io/the-night-shift-re-export
Sorry about the bug.
First thing's first, pixel art and animations are fantastic, I have no idea how you made all the flashing parts but really impressive. A very linear and easy to play game with a very interesting ending. Got some good resident evil vibes from this and i loved the design.
Peevs: The dialogue at the end was definitely too fast and the text was too big that it went past the speech boxes and overlapped other text so couldn't really read.
Would have been nice to find out what made him go psycho as well, maybe it's because I haven't ever worked a night shift but would have been nice to get that explanation.

Under The InfluenceThank you for your comment on our game, cheers! The dialogue bug appears occasionally on some devices sometimes, we tried to fix it before, end up finding it might be something about the PowerPoint and the font themselves, which was sad because I couldn't control them...reopen the game and run it again may fix the problem. It is great that you let me know that the bug still exists on some devices, I'll add the suggestion to our description.
Glad you liked the game!
