Overview

About this game

Welcome to Shelf Life... Your Nightmare shift Has a New Rule! 

You've worked the aisles of the supermarket countless nights, a monotonous rhythm of restocking and cleaning. But tonight, your supervisor has a new game for you. A twisted, silent test of obedience where the stakes are your sanity—and your life. You are not just a stocker; you are a pawn in a brutal corporate puzzle.

The Task Grid: Solve or Be Slaughtered.

The rules are simple, yet terrifying. Your supervisor has a specific, secret sequence of tasks he wants completed. Your job is to deduce that order before your shift ends. Every time you finish a series of tasks and return to the breakroom, the "Supervisor's Task Board" reveals how close you are to the truth, using a sinister Wordle-style feedback system:

  • Green: The task is correct and in the right position in the sequence.

  • Yellow: The task is part of the sequence, but in the wrong position.

  • Grey: The task is an abject failure.

The Price of Failure: Rising Tension.

Each incorrect guess—each grey task—infuriates the supervisor and escalates the terror. The air grows cold. The lights flicker and die. The mundane aisles become a labyrinth of horrors. The more you guess wrong, the more terrifying the next attempt becomes, as the very store seems to come alive with an unsettling presence. Your only reprieve from the mounting dread is a correct guess.

Your Only Escape is the Truth.

Your only hope of survival is to figure out the code. Explore every dark corner of the store, collect task tickets, and use the feedback from each run to unravel the sequence. Piece together the cryptic clues left by those who came before you. Will you figure out the supervisor’s maddening routine and finally punch out, or will your last shift become your eternal resting place?
