Midnight Meat & Greet: Rendered

Survive eight escalating night shifts in a rotted butcher diner, played the way the night shift is meant to be played: a black title card, the hour in the corner, a power meter counting your usage, and a monitor that flips up through a wall of static onto a floor plan of the building. The little CRT on your desk is now a true live security feed — park it on a room and watch a mascot move across it in real time without ever lifting the monitor. Sowbelly, Cleaver and Gizzard stalk the CCTV in articulated suits of matted fabric and scarred metal. Clear the closing shift and the rota keeps going through two unscheduled overtime nights. Then run the off-the-books Custom Night: dial all five mascots — including the freezer-burned Tallow and the charred, fast Brisket — from 0 to 20 and hold a cold-store version of the office until 6 AM. Watch the halls, drop the shutters, hold the ceiling vent, and get to 6 AM. A new Graphics menu lets you dial the picture from Low to Full detail — with shadow, air-dust, resolution and tape-grain switches — so a slower machine can run the whole night smoothly.
