Developed by a breakaway group from the original Disco Elysium development team, XXX Nightshift is a true Detective RPG.

Welcome to World’s End, Mount Hope, Antarctica, 2086 CE. You’re a Patrol Operative, and it’s entirely up to you how you spend your polar nights—solving gruesome murders, breaking sacred hearts, or just killing bloody time, in this true detective RPG XXX Nightshift.

You’re a Patrol Op on a holiday weekend at World’s End Ski Resort, Mount Hope, Antarctica. But things are about to go sideways.

Now you’re stranded at the off-season resort with unforgettable guests, wild parties, and mad secrets. The world of XXX NIGHTSHIFT is your oyster—crack it open with evolved role-playing systems.

The detective RPG XXX Nightshift lands you in a luxury resort that shouldn’t exist, with people you shouldn’t know. In the endless polar night, amidst the orgies of politics, power, and poetry, something gruesome lies waiting.

XXX Nightshift will deliver a deep single-player role-playing experience with many tools and layers of gameplay. A unique companion dynamic adds more fun and offers different paths to solve cases. The innovative and powerful role-playing system respects your time and trusts your intelligence with seismic choices. It’s up to you to decide how your story unfolds—and how it ends.

In 2086 CE, things really can’t go much further south than World’s End, Antarctica. Have fun.


Timo Albert, one of the four Dark Math Games founders and Art Director/Tactical Lead: “Additionally to innovating the traditional RPG mechanics, we’ll bring something fresh to the table. You will see. And of course, a few less words. And a few more bullets, perhaps. In total: lot more fun.”

Key Features:

  • Deep single-player role-playing with seismic choices. Powerful, finely tuned, innovative. It’s yours to decide how your story unfolds—and how it ends. Follow your truths or just slide on the surface of things.
  • Volumetric: A fresh role-playing system that respects your time, trusts your intelligence, and plays along with your every choice. Play a true three-dimensional human being. Combine 20 Traces across four categories to shape your character in any way you desire.
  • Find a partner in crime investigation or try flying solo. A unique companion dynamic provides you with many paths to solve the crimes. Engage in social climbing, soul digging, man-eating, and more, depending on your choices and luck.
  • Maboul Kit: Tune your investigative mind to prepare for interrogations, confrontations, and seductions. Anticipate what’s coming and boost your chances. But mind the side effects—there’s always a price to pay.
  • Dopamine Buffet: Rehearse your moves. Dance through crime scenes. Drift through parties. Or find pleasure in completing the simplest chores. Get better with every action you take.
  • Marafet Calculator: Use Marafet calculations to alter your time and space. Go deep with insights and discover connections, but make sure you’ll be able to resurface.

XXX Nightshift is in development for PC (Steam).
