About This Game

THE JOB

You've been hired for the night shift at a cement plant in the middle of the desert. Your responsibilities seem simple:

• Operate the train to load the assigned number of rail cars with clinker before your shift ends

• Keep your workspace clean by sweeping, removing trash, and cleaning up after lazy co-workers

• Monitor the control systems from the station office

• Keep the conveyor belts and electrical systems running

A simple industrial job with decent pay. Nothing to worry about… right?

THE AMBIENCE

As darkness settles over the plant, you realize you're not alone. Strange noises echo through the train station. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Thick night fog hides what's ahead and disorients you while you work.

Your routine tasks get more dangerous as you're forced into the darkest corners of the facility:

• Navigate poorly lit industrial areas when systems mysteriously fail

• Repair critical equipment while something hunts you

• Balance finishing your work with staying alive

• Explore the open plant, including the underground tunnel network beneath it

THE THREATS

• Skinwalkers stalk the perimeter, stalking you and copying human voices to lure you into traps

• Power outages leave you in total darkness

• Your sanity slips, and 12-hour shifts leave you tired and loopy. Maybe even crazy...

• You're completely alone in the desert, with no help for miles

FEATURES

• A cement plant setting inspired by the developer's real job. Yes, I actually work at one.

• Open-world exploration of the train station, including the silos, the dome, the train yard, and the underground tunnels

• Sanity system, so stay hydrated! Sleeping on the job and waking up somewhere else sounds scary

• Dynamic desert fog that limits your visibility and builds tension

• Industrial ambience mixed with sounds that shouldn't be there

Can you finish your tasks and survive every night shift, or will you become another disappearance the company quietly covers up with "safety"? You could have quit before you signed the contract. Now all you can do is make it through the night.

A SOLO DEV PROJECT

Night Shift at the Cement is made by one developer. The music and voice acting are created by talented collaborators, and the rest of the game is built by me with very minimal use of AI assets. I work at a cement plant, and the night shifts inspired this game.

You'll see an AI tag on this page. The details are in the disclosure section below. I'm building this game with care, and community feedback is a prioty to me and directly shapes the game! 

DISCLAIMER

Night Shift at the Cement is a work of fiction. While inspired by the developer's real-life experience working night shifts at an industrial plant, the layout, characters, companies, and events in this game are fictionalized and do not represent any real facility, employer, or person. Any resemblance to actual places, companies, or people is coincidental.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I understand that AI is a sensitive topic, so I want to be fully transparent about its use in the game’s player-facing assets. I view AI as a supporting tool, not a replacement for human creativity.

All voice lines and music are entirely human-made. Generative AI use is limited to some environmental sound effects and artwork used in just two visual elements: the death screen and the sanity bar. All other visual and audio assets are human-made.

All AI-generated sounds and artwork were heavily edited before being incorporated into the game. None were used as unmodified outputs.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Contains horror themes, jumpscares, and violence, including monsters biting the player. Blood appears in the environment, on monsters, and briefly on screen during jumpscares. The game also contains brief, crude sexual graffiti, including cartoon drawings of genitals and a stick-figure depiction of a sexual act. These drawings appear as environmental graffiti, not interactive sexual scenes.
