What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Value$1.83/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews84% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 83% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds11 of 290 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

About the game

A washed-up mad doctor is hired back by a devious former test subject and asked to twist her hospital into a corrupt donation mill. Will he seize this second chance to practice his own vision of "science," or will his many failings drag him down once again in this pseudo-medical visual novel?

The value story

It has been discounted 18 times in the 2 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 30 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 19 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage ($21.99, scores 58) outscores it, and so does A Date in the Park (free, scores 69). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Night Shift Nurses

This site sampled 290 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,627 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 42 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 11 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 227 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 39 percent of everything written about it.

If you experience crashes when animated CG cutscenes play, go to Windows Settings > Display > Graphics > Advanced graphics settings, and disable "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling". This worked for me. By the way, I didn't feel comfortable when playing with the patch. It obliterated the line. Giving the thumbs up is just a habit. Extremely NOT RECOMMENDED for people who pursuit pure and voluntary love...

Night Shift Nurses is a cruel game. It's so cruel that maybe a lawyer or an ethicist might question the legitimacy of its existence. I'm not a lawyer or an ethicist. I'm a sicko. Even in my case, this game was really uncomfortable. In Night Shift Nurses you play a sex criminal doctor. A former victim offers you a job at her hospital in which you are expected to perpetrate sex crimes in order to condition more...
