This Labor Day you can make a wish list Night of the Consumers on PC, which just announced it will finally have a full release this fall.
GERMFOOD is highly anticipated Night of the Consumers will finally launch fully on October 28 for PC (via Steam). It’s been a long wait for this game, there are at least four years of beta versions available to the public, but now the Night of the Consumers is finally ours.
In Night of the Consumersyou play as an underpaid store employee who has to put up with hordes of sociopaths who shop in your store. The Manager (whose name is literally The Manager) threatens to fire you if you upset the aggressive customers in the slightest.
“The customer is always right” is this manager’s philosophy, even when the customers literally shit on the floor, spread disease through unsanitary practices and shout insults at you. You quickly realize that the manager would completely eliminate the minimum wage if he could.
The customers and manager inside Night of the Consumers are based on real people and circumstances. We’ve all encountered idiots who look down on people who work at Wal Mart or fast food restaurants. Here’s a teaser trailer:
Instead of showing respect for someone who is doing their best in a job that is not considered glamorous and for little money, some people consider themselves better than the store clerk and do everything they can to humiliate them.
Meanwhile, these employees often have to deal with intimidation and unsafe working conditions due to poor managers in some cases and unsanitary locations in others. We’ve all seen it videos of Karens who harass people who are just doing their job, and Night of the Consumers is a game intended to showcase this in the style of indie horror and provide catharsis.
I’ll definitely be checking this one out, as I know most indie horror streamers will. The Alpha and Beta builds were extremely popular YouTubeso it will be interesting to see what surprises the full release has in store for us.
