About Night Shift at the Museum
Night Shift at the Museum is a puzzle-simulator where you play a security guard monitoring a museum at night. Developed by Infinity Pixel Games, it launched on PC in December 2025. The game tasks you with tracking cameras, documenting anomalies, and fixing systems while balancing a reporting quota. The twist? Odd occurrences escalate as your reflection moves independently. It’s a tense blend of observation and problem solving, set in a minimalist but eerie environment. Perfect for fans of slow-burn mysteries and methodical gameplay.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions toggling between camera feeds, scanning for motion, and jotting notes on irregularities. Each anomaly, like a painting shifting or a door unlocking, requires you to navigate the museum, repair systems, or reset cameras. Controls are keyboard-and-mouse focused, with context-sensitive actions for investigating or fixing tech. A digital timer tracks your hourly report quota, adding urgency. The reflection mechanic kicks in around hour three, forcing you to dodge phantom versions of yourself. Puzzles escalate from simple repairs to timed sequences involving security grids and power rerouting.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 92%, with a 4.1 critic score. Average playtime is 38 hours, and 63% of players complete the main story. Moods: 78% tense, 65% eerie, 52% clever. Reviews praise the "creepy atmosphere" and "addictive loop of observation and problem solving." Some note the pacing slows after the first act. Completion rate drops after hour 25 due to repetitive repair tasks. Achievements (45 total) skew toward exploration, 72% of players unlock the "Mirror Master" title for evading reflections.
PlayPile's Take
This is a must-play for puzzle and sim fans who thrive in methodical, eerie environments. At $29.99, it offers strong replay value via optional security audits and hidden archives. While the mid-game slowdown drags, the 45 achievements and tense atmosphere justify the ask. Not a rush, save for shorter sessions. If slow-burn tension and environmental puzzles hook you, this is a solid buy.
