While the doors are all locked during the day, everything (almost everything, anyway) unlocks at night. While the day is structured, night is chaos. Roam the halls, trash an office, loot another patient’s room-all of it is at your command. Depending on your character, they could team up, go it alone, use and abuse others, latch onto stronger people, and so on.
As you’ve probably figured out by now, everything is much more sinister during nightshift. The nurses and animals morph into monsters that will be after you, mainly during comments from
damned_monsters or
damned_nurses invading your post without warning. (You can also request for a monster or nurse to attack your character if your thread is getting boring.) You will have the radio helping you out from time to time, though-if your character decides to carry it around with them, anyway!
The intercom is still around during nightshift. The Head Doctor is decidedly worse at night, in fact. The posts will show up randomly for taunting the patients, rearranging the building, and so on. There could be a public post in the main community that will apply to all patients, or it can post in a comment to mess with a certain person/group.
The duration of nightshift is three weeks.
