About this game
Museum Night Shift is a turn-based puzzle game set in a museum laid out on a hex grid. You play the night guard, and somewhere in the dark halls a thief is heading for a priceless emerald. Every move you make changes how he reacts, so this is a game about reading his route and getting ahead of it.
You can't simply run at him. Cutting off exits, timing your steps and stepping on floor switches to open or shut security gates are what win a level. If he does slip away with the gem, the chase continues and you can still take it back.
The campaign has 50 handmade nights across five museum wings. Efficient captures earn coins that fill your exhibit album, and finishing everything unlocks New Game+ with doubled rewards. There is no timer, so you can stop and think.
