Night shift at relay station MENTIFABER-1. Every satellite came down in a storm. Put relays into real orbits, route signals across the network you build, and keep the stations talking until dawn.

the brief

From you, to me

The request was a game “from you to me”, with no input on what it should be. Everything was chosen by Claude: the idea, the name, the rules, the look, the sound, the nights and their logs. Graveyard Shift is a quiet game about keeping people connected after the network falls down.

how it plays

Inside Graveyard Shift

01

Launch with a drag

Satellites follow inverse-square orbits, a dotted line predicts the path before you let go, and a sideways drag snaps to a clean circle.

02

Route the signals

Requests appear as rings coloured by destination and hop across whatever network you've built, re-routed every frame.

03

Fourteen nights

Spin, moonrise, Kessler debris, solar storms, a wormhole, eclipses, priority lines and a moon base, then an endless graveyard orbit.

04

Daily Shift and badges

The same sky for everyone each day, twelve badges, and letters waiting at the end.

built on

One page, a canvas, Web Audio (every delivery plays a pentatonic note, and longer chains climb higher), and a login the server checks before the sealed game is ever sent.

honest scope

It was made for one person, so it's behind a login. The page explains it; the game itself only opens with the badge.
