Shift At Midnight characters and customization

Last reviewed: July 22, 2026.

Is there a named character roster?

No official named playable-character roster was found in the Steam material reviewed for this page. The store page confirms character customisation, single-player, and online co-op for up to 3 players, but it does not publish employee names, classes, character stats, abilities, or a complete cosmetics list.

That means a list of named heroes, roles, rarities, or skill bonuses would be speculation.

What customization is confirmed?

Only the existence of character customisation is confirmed by the store description. Its menu structure, available options, unlock requirements, and whether any choices affect gameplay were not documented in the official sources reviewed. Visual choices should not be treated as classes or ranked by power without evidence.

The four announced pet choices

Pets are companions, not playable characters. In the July 8 pet announcement, Bun Muen announced four choices before the first shift:

• Cat
• Husky
• Puppy
• Goose

The announcement says the pet needs medicine within the first three shifts. If the player earns enough personal profit to cover it, the pet can later accompany shifts and help clean some mess. The post does not give pet stats, rarity, unique bonuses, or a best-pet ranking.

Co-op identity and matchmaking

Players are gas-station employees, but official material reviewed here does not assign named jobs to each player. For groups, the July 10 announcement says Steam matchmaking is Steam-only, while Xbox and Xbox PC Game Pass players have announced cross-play with each other.
