In Night Doner, players take on the role of a new employee working the night shift at a local doner kebab shop. The game starts as any typical shift might, with the tasks of preparing food, serving customers, and tidying up. However, as the night progresses, players quickly discover that their shift is anything but ordinary. Strange occurrences begin to unfold—unexplained noises from the back of the shop, unsettling movements in the shadows, and customers who are not quite what they seem. The once familiar setting of a doner shop transforms into a stage for eerie and unexplained events, challenging players to manage their duties while unraveling the mysteries that emerge.
As the game advances, the player must balance the mechanics of food preparation with the increasing tension of the supernatural activities around them. Each customer interaction and kitchen task becomes a test of nerves and speed, as players are required to keep the shop running while also investigating peculiar happenings. The gameplay is designed to blend elements of time management with psychological horror, creating a unique and engaging experience that keeps players on edge. Decisions made during the game can affect the outcome of the night, leading to multiple endings based on how well players handle the pressures of their haunted shift. The seemingly mundane setting of a doner shop becomes a backdrop for a suspenseful adventure that lasts an intense 20-25 minutes.
