You may Have the Job, but now Lose Your Mind! Shift 87 Launches Today!

You think your day to day job is already anomaly detection? Take the test and check if Shift 87 is like vacation to you! It is out today on Steam!

HAMBURG, Germany (July 23rd, 2024) –  Thank you for taking on the role of “Anomaly Detection Expert” here at Norn Corp. We are thrilled to have you on board after the mysterious events of March 24 at the Nelson Bros Circus, also known as REVEIL. Your primary responsibility is to report anomalies and observe horror elements, so it might not be that different from your previous job! Shift 87 is out today on Steam so request your key right away. But please, read on! There’s more exciting stuff yet to come! 

As an “Anomaly Detection Expert,” you will experience more variety, more environments, and more details than in comparable jobs. You will be able to find up to 66 anomalies. The shift duration, or total playtime, is about 2-3 hours, meaning you’ll have plenty of free time after your shift! However, there is one caveat: 50% of the anomalies may be creepy but easy to spot, while the other 50% are more subtle and easy to miss. Sounds doable? Great! Good luck with not getting paranoid!

Thank you for being a part of NORN Corporation! ❤️
