What players say

Players describe My Night Job as a retro arcade beat-em-up with a horror theme, where you rescue 100 civilians from a mansion while managing monster infestations that can collapse the house. There is a split: some praise its short, addictive sessions and deep references, while others find it grindy and lacking in progression, with the same mansion layout each run.
