Today’s screenshot is from Shift at Midnight. The game has a Demo up on Steam now. It’s this game where you run a gas station’s graveyard shift, only the twist is that some customers are Doppleganger’s who will attack the gas station if they manage to checkout. So you have to check them and make sure they arent a double through an ID check, a mood scan, and just general questioning. If they’re a double? You pop em with the gun under the counter. Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense logically (they could just attack you in the store), but it’s still fun to play.
We had one customer come in walking funny. We thought he might be a double at first, but nope. dude just had music in his heart and had to dance. Once everything checked out, i rang him up and let him dance on his marry way. (Ignore the… unique posters me and my friend decorated with).
There’s this one guy in the back each night shift that gets closer and closer. We thought at first he was a threat, but he eventually got close enough to touch. And me and my friend, being stupid idiots, did the stupid idiot thing and touched him. He’s friendly! He even left us a little heart made of coins. He’s just a little sweety.
We had another double, only this one was my friend. I think if it wasn’t for the fact i saw my friend walk past, i wouldn’t have grabbed the gun and shot the double. I’m lucky i did because i was not expecting that. It was an awesome curveball for the game to throw at us.
The demo is short, but it’s a good time. If you have friends to play with i highly suggest picking it up. It’s a good hour to just spend playing with friends. I’m excited for the full release and i hope it has an endless mode because this is a good time.
We all go through time like that. If you like single player games, what helped me was getting a Switch (I had almost quit gaming before that), the ability to play on a handheld which you can pause (put in sleep) anywhere is a godsend. Everyone is different though, but can be worth a try. You can try getting a SteamDeck, and see if that works for you.
At the end of the day, if playing short rounds of Death by Daylight is what you enjoy the most, nothing wrong with just keep doing that.
Yeah I’m either gonna get a steam deck or get a tablet and setup moonlight for remote gaming in the future, I think because my job involves sitting at a desk 8 hours a day, after work I just don’t want to sit on my computer for much longer, a handheld gaming device would help with that
This is pretty much why I can’t play much PC games either (even though there are some genres I love that work bes on PC). Handheld works best, or sitting on a couch in front of TV.
I love tablets as a good general purpose device, but don’t have much experience with remote play. Just check how well it works with controllers and the latency / lag.
