Bridge Operator
⚠️ A quick heads-up: We threw this prototype together in just a few hours out of boredom, so please don't expect a highly polished game! It’s short, rough around the edges, and probably has some bugs. Let us know if you find any in the comments!

Welcome to the Night Shift.
You are the new bridge operator. The location is isolated. The fog is thick. Your shift starts at 12:00 AM and ends at 06:00 AM.
Sit in your rusty cabin. Listen to the lo-fi static on the radio. Watch your breath in the cold air. Your job is simple: When the massive cargo ships emerge from the dense fog, open the bridge to let them pass.
But pay attention to the radio signals. Do your job, and maybe you'll see the sunrise. Ignore the ships, and... well, they don't like waiting in the dark.
Controls:
- Mouse: Look around
- Left Click: Interact with Button

I kinda got bored quickly, but I'm probably not the target audience. I do love the esthetic and the whole idea. Keep up the good work! :) ♥
Thanks for your comment! I understand the game might be boring because it's shrouded in mystery. I also know it won't appeal to everyone. Perhaps it could be improved by adding some guidance, but I don't know if I'll update it. I think I'll try another game. Thanks again!
