Shift At Midnight Night 1
Night 1 starts with three notice-board objectives corroborated by a current walkthrough and full-release video: take out the trash, clean blood with the mop, and restock the shelves. Tpose reports that the first shift alone has a fixed doppelganger list; still verify every customer, keep the store clean, and treat later shifts as randomized rather than reusing this opening answer key.
Objectives
At the notice board, take out the trash, clean visible blood with the mop, and restock the shelves. The same opening task set appears around 90s in SvalPlay’s full-release recording and in Tpose’s current walkthrough. Clean remaining blood, flesh, and dirty toilets before taking the bus at shift end.
Fixed events
Tpose reports that only the first shift uses a fixed customer answer list. It names Nathan Callaway and Julietta Granger as doppelgangers, while Clyde Dawson, Bonnie McCree, Kevin Larson, and Bartholomew Kessler are human. Use the list as a Night 1 spoiler, not a rule for those faces on later randomized shifts.
Random or reported events
The first-shift list is corroborated only by Tpose, while the tasks are visible in the independent full-release video. After Night 1, Steam’s official store description says shifts are randomized, so never carry a customer’s prior verdict forward without checking the current evidence.
Enemies, resources, and tasks
| Moment | What to do |
|---|---|
| Notice board | Trash, blood with the mop, and shelf restocking |
| Delivery | Tpose reports a truck after Bonnie; open the rear room for it |
| Phone objective | Tpose reports an outside monster; run back to the store rather than trying to kill it |
| Shift cleanup | Remove remaining mess and check the toilets before the bus |
Ending-affecting choices
No Night 1 dialogue choice is established as an ending lock. Tpose advises earning and keeping personal funds because the final pet surgery is reported to cost $250, but the actual ending decision comes after Night 12.
Failure points
Do not reuse the fixed Night 1 list later. A missed doppelganger can return as a monster, while killing a human reduces earnings. Finish the three notice-board tasks and cleanup instead of waiting for the bus with an incomplete store.
Night 1 fixed customer answer list
Tpose reports Nathan Callaway and Julietta Granger as the first-shift doppelgangers. It reports Clyde Dawson, Bonnie McCree, Kevin Larson, and Bartholomew Kessler as human on this first shift only.
