[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]I'm excited to announce the Supporter Pack for The Night Shift![/p][p][/p][h2]What's In the Supporter Pack?[/h2]

• [p]The Reporter[/p]
  • [p]An exclusive experience where you step into the shoes of a reporter chasing a string of missing persons cases which has led them straight in to the department store.[/p]
• [p]Four exclusive mannequin skins[/p]
• [p]Four exclusive mannequin hats[/p]
• [p]A Supporter Locker[/p]
  • [p]Accessible on every shift, this locker is full of helpful items that can assist your further on your shifts.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]How Much Will It Cost?[/h2][p]It’ll be available for US$5 when the game officially exits Early Access.[/p][p]As a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who supported the game during Early Access, this pack will be free for all players who purchased the game during that time. It’s a small collection of goodies to show my appreciation for your support.[/p][p][/p][h2]Why?[/h2][p]The Night Shift has grown far beyond what I expected. I’ve kept my Early Access promise not to raise the base game’s price on full release. This optional Supporter Pack is for those who want to go a little further in supporting the game. And as a thank you, it includes a few fun extras.[/p][p][/p][h2]When?[/h2][p]The Supporter Pack content will unlock when The Night Shift exits Early Access on 7th August.[/p][p][/p][p]Note: if you added The Night Shift to your library before March 2024 (when it was free), the Supporter Pack will need to be purchased separately. Thank you for understanding.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all so much for being part of this journey. Your support has meant the world.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]If you want to know more, check out the website page for the pack and if you have any more questions feel free to reach out in the comments.[/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p]Marty[/p]
