零點以後

在高壓和快節奏的現代社會當中，青壯年世代長期處於過度工作、情緒壓抑的循環之中。近年來政府推動心理健康支持方案，提供免費心理諮商資源，表示此類心理壓力已成為普遍且值得重視的議題。本作品以此為創作動機，希望透過遊戲形式，讓玩家看見並體驗這些被忽視的內在狀態。

《Night Shift：零點以後》是一款結合動作玩法與心理象徵敘事的2D橫向卷軸遊戲。玩家將扮演一名上班族，在長期壓力下靈魂出竅，墜入由職場、成癮構成的扭曲世界，面對具象化的內心壓力與現實困境。

遊戲核心玩法為「理性／失控」雙型態切換與壓力值管理機制：理性狀態下需近距離對怪物攻擊，失控狀態則可遠距拋擲炸彈，玩家必須在承受與宣洩之間取得平衡。關卡中穿插記憶漫畫片段，逐步揭露主角的過去與壓力來源，強化敘事沉浸感。

本作品不僅追求動作遊戲的節奏與爽感，更希望透過象徵與互動，引導玩家思考壓力、逃避與自我認同的關係，並在崩潰與重生之間，尋找屬於自己的出口。

Night Shift

Nowadays, in a high-pressure and fast-paced society, young and middle-aged individuals are often caught in a cycle of overwork and emotional suppression. In recent years, governments have promoted mental health support programs, including free counseling services, indicating that psychological stress has become a widespread and significant issue. This project is inspired by these realities and aims to use games as a medium to help players recognize and experience these often-overlooked inner states.

Night Shift is a 2D side-scrolling action game that integrates psychological symbolism into its narrative. Players take on the role of an overworked soul who falls into a distorted world shaped by stress, addiction, and confusion. Within this environment, players confront manifestations of inner struggles while reflecting on modern life and mental health through combat and progression.
