Late Shift

Late Shift is a live-action crime thriller about Matt, a mathematics student working a night shift at a London parking garage. After he is forced into an auction-house robbery, he must navigate the heist and its consequences.

As the film plays, you choose what Matt says and does at key moments. Decisions are timed, so the story continues without pausing while you decide; there is no combat, puzzle-solving, or direct character control.

Choices can alter scenes and story paths, leading to one of seven conclusions. The game advertises more than 180 decision points, though many choices may lead back toward shared parts of the story.

Many reviewers enjoy Late Shift as a brisk, cinematic first playthrough, often praising the live-action presentation, performances, atmosphere, and tense crime-story pacing. Some say choices make them curious about the consequences and alternate endings, while others feel many decisions have limited impact. A frequently repeated complaint is that replaying requires watching previously seen scenes again, making it tedious to explore other paths or endings.
