Progress Update
We’re officially down to 8 days left in the Kickstarter campaign, and we’ve already hit 72% of our funding goal, incredible!
-$217 pledged out of $300
-9 awesome backers
-3 returning backers from the last campaign, welcome back!
-6 brand-new backers, so glad to have you on board!
Reminder About Tier Rewards,
Every backer who pledges at any tier will receive:
-A Steam download key for the full game on release, yours to keep, no extra purchase needed!
-Plus, higher-tier backers will get special in-game rewards like:
-Seeing their name featured in-game
-Access to soundtrack and exclusive content
And remember, Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. Rewards will only be fulfilled if we reach the funding goal by the deadline. So, if you’re telling friends or family, let them know that supporting now means they’ll get a free copy of the game + exclusive rewards!
May 2025 Playtest Recap,
The May 2025 Third Shift playtest was a huge success!
Thanks to feedback from dozens of players and horror gaming enthusiasts, I’ve already implemented improvements to make the experience smoother and more intuitive.
The biggest issue raised?
Learning how to play.
Solution: I’ve created a brand-new tutorial experience to help players onboard quickly and understand the core mechanics better. This new tutorial will be part of the next major update and demo release.
New Trailer Incoming,
A new official trailer will be dropping soon to show off:
The updated UI
New tutorial onboarding
Improved polish and tweaks based on community feedback
Keep an eye out, you won’t want to miss it!
Steam Next Fest,
Third Shift is proud to be featured in Steam Next Fest, running from June 9 - 16, 2025.
What you can do:
Join the event and show support
Invite your favorite streamers (big or small) to check out Third Shift
Spread the word so we can build momentum together!
Demo Release News,
Ahead of Steam Next Fest, a free public demo of Third Shift will be released on Steam for everyone to play.
This updated demo will include:
The new tutorial
All changes from May’s playtest
Better onboarding and gameplay balancing
Demo release date will be announced very soon, stay tuned!
Final Call to Action,
If you’re enjoying what we’re building, here’s how you can help make sure the campaign succeeds:
Share the Kickstarter with friends, family, and coworkers, especially anyone in pharmacy or horror gaming!
Let people know backing now means a free game copy + potential in-game rewards

Thank You,
I just want to say:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your enthusiasm, energy, and feedback have kept this project moving forward. We wouldn’t be here without the support and passion of this amazing community. Let’s finish strong and make Third Shift something truly unforgettable.
