Choose your platform and take the groundsman off the web.

Extract the archive, then launch the game inside. The night shift is currently unsigned, so your operating system may ask you to confirm the first launch.

A NOTE FROM MANAGEMENT

A QUIET NIGHT,
THEY SAID.

Walk over bare earth to bring the grass back. Face a tombstone and hold Space to open the grave beneath it. Lure the walking dead into the pit, then get down there and finish the burial before they climb out.

Collect spirits for a brief protective aura. Ghosts and banshees have their own ideas about personal space. The lantern can buy you a moment. The paperwork, regrettably, is endless.
