Shaft Shift - Shift Happens
A downloadable game
Congratulations! You're hired.
Your interview was a success. Your qualifications are irrelevant, health insurance is not provided, and resignation forms can be submitted directly from the mine. Assuming we find you.
Welcome to Shaft Shift — a single-player mining survival game about the daily struggles of working for a corporation where human life is priceless. That's why Accounting values yours at exactly zero.
Your Job Responsibilities
- DIG. The underground is full of valuable resources. They belong to the company. Your job is to bring them to the surface.
- MEET YOUR QUOTA. Production targets are mandatory. Exceeding expectations is encouraged. Financial compensation is under review. Indefinitely.
- MANAGE YOUR LOAD. The more you carry, the slower you move. Workplace injuries are not a valid excuse for missing your targets.
- AVOID THE LOCAL WILDLIFE. Underground creatures have not completed their mandatory corporate conduct training.
- UPGRADE YOUR EQUIPMENT. Craft gear, improve your tools, and increase productivity. The company believes in investing in your future. Preferably with your money.
- GET OUT ALIVE. The evacuation elevator runs on a strict schedule. Your attendance is optional. Your replacement is already being interviewed.
Life Outside the Mine
Between shifts, return to your cabin, work on your equipment, and visit the company bar.
Get some rest while you can. Tomorrow's production targets have already been approved.
Our Corporate Values
SAFETY FIRST. Employee well-being is our top priority. Right after profits.
PERSONAL GROWTH. The harder you work, the more work we'll trust you with.
RECOGNITION. Outstanding employees may receive a place on the Wall of Fame. By the end of the year. Pending management approval.
JOB SECURITY. We guarantee there will always be more work tomorrow.
CLOCK OUT — Every shift comes to an end. One way or another.
Best regards, Human Resources.
