SIMON'S SHIFT (CHAPTER 2 IS OUT!)
A downloadable game for Windows
🩸 CHAPTER 3 COMING SOON 🩸
CHAPTER 2 is already in the game.
I made this in 4 days... and it hit Top 3.
🎥 Special Thanks to Markiplier
Markiplier recently supported the game with a $220 donation.
If you enjoyed the game and want to help make Chapter 3 happen faster, consider supporting it too.
Every bit genuinely helps.
A simple favor. A normal night shift. Something feels wrong.
You agreed to cover your friend’s night shift while he goes out to take care of something.
🧩 Something feels... off
- Some players reported hearing footsteps behind them
- Others said the cameras show things that aren't there
- One player claimed Simon moves when you're not looking
I don’t know if that’s true.
But I wouldn’t trust the cameras.
Sitting alone, watching the cameras, everything seems normal... until you start realizing that the real danger isn’t around you, but out there, with him.
Piece by piece, the truth unfolds through what you see, leading to a chain of events that spirals into something brutal and unexpected...

🧠 How this game got attention (for devs)
This game wasn’t made to be “perfect.”
It was made to be noticed.
It was built fast with a very specific goal: create something streamable, clickable, and easy to share.
If you’re a developer and you’re tired of your games going unseen, this is exactly the problem I solved here.
I broke down the full process

Tremendo juego, espero el capitulo 3 sigue asi
Just uploaded the first chapter! Got a couple of nasty jumpscares on me! Gonna be tackling the second chapter REAL SOON! Give it a watch!
No commentary, just gameplay video
simon's cope
they got an army of cope
Nice to see chapter 2 continue on from the previous chapter, and while it was an amusing one & certainly had an intense moment with trying to shoot Simon. I did think half the game was just dialogue, and I did want more game time. Im intrigued to see chapter 3 and see how this goes! Here is my video!
CHAPTER 1 SCARED ME SO BAD HAHA. CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THE OTHER CHAPTERS!
Hey really great game Devs. Really loved the wackiness and really enjoyed playing this game. Can't believe it's a 4 day game that's insane. There's a bug if you go and turn off the braker you break the game and can't turn it back on when the lights turns off something I found being goofy. Great game devs also got me with the jumpscare.
SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM HE'S KILLING MY BEST FRIEND WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR A TOTAL OF 30 SECONDS!! Youtube Link -
Played Chapter 2 this time round, and not gonna lie, although this chapter was great, I feel it had too much dialogue, but maybe that's just me. I'm very very stoked for Chapter 3 especially with how Chapter 2 ended. Keep grinding!
Fantastic short experience!! Looking forward to playing chapter 2!
I was so excited to play Chapter 2 and it did NOT disappoint in the slightest! Love the story and the ending. Can't wait for Chapter 3
WOW--Chapter 2 was such a big jump from Chapter 1! I was surprised to see the price tag originally but IMO it's definitely worth it. I had a ton of fun doing the voices. Probably too much honestly hahahah.
My only real bug found was with the police at the end. Which gave me a giggle for sure lol.
I loved chapter 2! Can't wait for Chapter 3!
Amazing, I enjoyed Chapter 2 a lot. Well done and I look forward to the next chapter.
CHAPTER 2 WAS INSANE. GO WATCH
LOOK, I CAME OUT OF MY SLUMBER BEAUTY SLEEP JUST FOR YOU TO DECIDE IM RIPE FOR THE MURDERING?! Youtube Link -
Fun, quick, and very entertaining. Great job on the game!
A gas leak at Dayton Mall
Blow up your game guide xdddddddddddddddddddd, holy guru, game dev is a cycle of luck, shitty cheap horror games and gay furry visual comics are what works on itch.io, thats just how it works, your 40$ guru guide will hit the same as these fake ass youtube guides for anyone trying to make none of these
fair take honestly, most games that blow up DO look random from the outside
but if it was just luck…
why do the same types of games keep getting picked up by youtubers over and over again?
thats not luck, thats patterns
and thats exactly what i break down :D
Absolute cinema of a game, I enjoyed the hell out of this one! I cannot wait to check out Chapter 2, hats off to you for grinding so hard man! Keep it up, can't wait to see Chapter 3 when it's completed ;)
I woke up at 1AM just for a slice of pizza… 10/10 game
This game is Really GOOD!!!
Would greatly Appreciate it you watch the video… and if there’s any review of the video I would appreciate that also : )
Tried out Chapter 1!
Loved chapter 2 as much as chapter 1 and can't wait for chapter 3
I played the first chapter and it was a solid game! I was not expecting the chapter to end like it did! Can't wait to play chapter 2!
The game turned out great, but chapter 2 has too much dialogue and not enough gameplay... it lacked a bit of horror. I hope it improves in the next chapter.
Both chapters so far have been interesting to say the least, I'm looking forward to seeing how this story progresses in chapter 3 soon.
Subscribe! It’s free, and it makes my mother proud.
POOR SIMON COULDNT HANG WITH ME
Chapter Two was awesome I'm really like this game so far, keep up the great work!

Forgot to upload my video here yesterday. Man, I am thoroughly enjoying this game! Well done, Red Cap!
had a great time playing this with my mate, jumpscared me so many times hahahaha
awesome job devs good fun! Stoked to see chapter 3 in the future! :)
Had A ton of fun with this game...
