The Graveyard Shift

Once upon a cold October night, the flicker of an old CRT TV lit up a dusty bedroom. You, an adult now, had found your favorite Halloween game from childhood buried in the attic—its cartridge faded, its label barely legible: “The Graveyard Shift.”

Curiosity gets the better of you. You plug it in. Static dances across the glass as the game whirs to life. The familiar chiptune melody plays, but this time… something is different. The control pad vibrates faintly. You can feel the cold touch of the world's air—the damp soil, the rustle of bones. Somehow, you are inside the game.

You now command an army of rattling skeletons, your bony minions rising from the graves under a crimson moon. The villages have grown since you last played. The villagers no longer cower in fear—they fight back. Torches blaze, pitchforks glint, and the echoes of distant bells summon hunters to protect their homes.

Your mission: unleash the full wrath of the Bone Legion. Crush the defenses, burn their villages, and reclaim the cursed land once stolen by the living.

Return to the game that never wanted to stay on screen. Relive the fear, the nostalgia, and the bone-shaking power of your childhood Halloween nightmare.
