Night Shift Protocol
You work nights at a package sorting facility. Boxes come down a belt. A paper manifest says what's inside. Sometimes it's right.
You can wave a box through, send it back, or open it and look. Each night adds a tool — X-ray, chemical sniffer, phone to call the sender. Rent is due at the end of the week.
Playable in ten languages.
About this build
A small prototype put together in a couple of evenings. One sitting, about fifteen minutes. It's an AI-assisted build — a lot of the code, the code-drawn sprites, and the voicemails came out of AI tooling.
Built with Kaplay.js. Voice/SFX via ElevenLabs. Inspired by Papers, Please.
If there's interest
The shape I actually want to build is a puzzle/simulator where the routine is broken up by hand-written packages tied to running story threads — someone shipping body parts, a political cell posting bombs, a long-distance couple sending personal things. You help, ignore, or sabotage, and it bleeds into a main story. Hand-drawn sprites, real voice acting, puzzles that need multiple tools.

Good start to what could be a fun game. Definitely worth checking the post office game that's on this website too in combination with the game where you guard a border and check passports. I'm unsure what both games are called - but definitely have some elements that you can build further on for this game. Good luck developing further!
