Night Shift Hospital is a cooperative job simulator for up to four players, announced by Polden Publishing and Knitted Cats, set for release on PC via Steam.
Polden Publishing and Knitted Cats announced Night Shift Hospital on June 30, 2026. The game is a cooperative job simulator for up to four players set during a chaotic hospital night shift. Players examine patients, assign them to zones, and provide treatment. The team is allowed only ten mistakes before being fired. New rules appear each night, aiming for chaotic comedy rather than realistic medical simulation.
