What is Closing Shift?

Closing Shift is a simulator horror game by Chilla’s Art that was released on March 19, 2022.

Closing Shift is a first-person POV-based game that follows a young barista working at Chilla’s Coffee.

Working late at the coffee-bean establishment, the protagonist is faced with the daunting task of closing up for the night, only to be met with a dreadful stalker.

Throughout your shift, you’ll learn more information about this mysterious stalker, which invokes a constant state of fear and paranoia in the player. The game features a ton of jump scares that take advantage of the anxiety-inducing atmosphere.

And because of this, specifically, the game has gone viral on TikTok.

Some followers offered their insights on the indie game, noting its creepiness as a reason they want to try it out, saying: “Most REALISTIC GAME YET, especially being an ex-Starbucks barista. I need to play this game now!”

While another person, full of fear yet somehow intrigued, remarked: “It reminds me of my last shift that I had LMFAO anyways; yes, I’m glad I found this because I want this now.”
