Nightshift
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Nightshift has three expeditions: The Glass Meridian, a high observatory; The Ninth Signal, an underwater research station; and The Unsetting Sun, a buried solar temple. Each spans three connected areas, with puzzles that branch so a group can split up and work on different parts. Clues come from written records, physical observation, sound, shape and fit.
Built for two to four players, with support for up to eight. Every step can also be completed alone. Share discoveries through push-to-talk voice, text chat, the shared notepad or markers. Hints appear only when someone asks and every connected player agrees. Both desktop apps need an internet connection.
Available for macOS and 64-bit Windows. Mac and Windows players can join the same private game. The universal Mac app runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs and is locally signed, not notarized. Voice is optional; text chat and the notepad work without microphone access.
