A downloadable game for Windows

You're Sam. Rent is due, your fridge is empty, and the only job that called back is the night shift at MegaMart. The pay is fine. The customers are not. They show up after midnight, they wander the aisles in the dark, and if one of them catches you, your shift is over. Permanently.

Every night you have until 6:00 AM to restock the store. Grab boxes from the stock room, find the empty shelves and fill them while staying out of sight. You can only see what's in front of you, so anything behind a shelf could be standing right there. Customers only see what's in front of them too, so you can sneak past behind them, break line of sight when they chase you, or run for the stock room, where the door keeps them out.

Shelf Life follows Sam through five nights, with story scenes at home between shifts, and gets harder as the store gets busier. You pick Easy, Medium or Hard when you start, so it can be a tense story or a real fight to survive. Move with WASD, sprint with Shift, hold E to stock and press Esc to pause. You can change any of those keys in the settings.

Made by Xiaon32 in Godot. Inspired by Night of the Consumers by Germfood. Sound effects from Mixkit. Contains jumpscares and loud sounds.
