On the Earth Shift

On the Earth Shift is a VR resource-management game and romantic experience about doing an alien job while your alien fish friend watches. You manage Earth, trying to keep its life in harmony by overseeing global temperature, the population’s horniness and the desire to dominate or submit to one another.

Decisions for Earth

Your superiors at Glorf-31 ask you to approve or deny decisions that affect the planet. They include Snarglarff Sneet, who is focused on extracting value from Earth; Elgore Smankoff, who wants to perform experiments on it; and Mire Oodle, who wants a friend. Earth’s fate depends on your decisions.

Life aboard your ship

Your fish friend watches you work, though it is more interested in the blurry television behind you. Outside the spaceship, Earth rotates and sometimes explodes. You use your tentacles to slap buttons as you handle your duties.

Endings

The game has multiple endings, depending on how well you keep Earth alive and whether you make it to the end of your friend’s monologue.
