‣ 6/10 – Women have terrifying lives.
‣ Thoughts: The Closing Shift provides a rather simple horror game experience. You make coffee and there’s not much else. You don’t get jump scared every two minutes, you don’t get attacked, you don’t get followed across rooms, or do you? The story here slowly builds up until it all explodes in your face, and you must deal with it fast. Without spoiling much, it gets creepy fast and making coffee here is fun. This is one of those games that is best experienced without expectations or ideas planted in your head by others. Go in blind and see for yourself if you like it. However, this is a small game, short and janky, but that does not break it. Last thing I would like to mention is the art style. The game looks like a VHS tape recording which gives it a unique and creepy feeling it needs.
