Pixel Nightshift: The Vesta Protocol

Pixel Nightshift: The Vesta Protocol is a pixel-art psychological horror story about working the night shift at Vesta Robotics. As an isolated operator, you process shipments, handle terminal requests and meet daily quotas while subtle anomalies begin to disrupt your routine. The full game spans 10 nights and has two endings.

The night shift

The facility is quiet, with distant echoes and endless shipping crates waiting to be dispatched. You read orders at the terminal, collect parts from the dark warehouse, pack the cargo and load the delivery truck. As the nights progress, shifted boxes, flickering lights and figures in the dark disrupt the routine.

Security checks

Before each shift, you complete security verifications at the terminal. The game has nine distinct protocol mini games with different mechanics, and the system grows increasingly erratic.

Choices and endings

As the facility glitches, small choices carry forward and shape one of two distinct endings. The game features handcrafted 320×180 pixel art with CRT terminal aesthetics and offers a focused 40 to 60-minute narrative experience.
