A downloadable game for Windows

Knight Shift is a short, one-level game using the UZDoom Engine, inspired by shift work within a managed operations team. The game takes the everyday world of incident response and reimagines it as an action game, where you take control of an unnamed futuristic Spartan Unit.

Controls:

W - Move Forward
S - Move Backward
A - Move Left
D - Move Right
E - Interact
Left Mouse Button - Fire Weapon
Keys 1 - 4: Switch Weapon (or Scroll Mouse Wheel)

For more details about the project, the manual is available with the game files

Known Issues:

There is a recently discovered softlock at the beginning of the game. In the opening area just behind the Glowing "H", if you move off the ledge to the left or right, there is no way to get back up again except by using a cheat code. Otherwise, hit "Esc" and "Begin Shift" again to start a new game.

Install instructions

Download and unzip "knightshift.zip".

Note that running the executable itself and not the .bat does not set the game config as the developer had intended, leading to incorrect results with the HUD and other visuals.
