A shift at the Intersection
You were hired by the shady Intersection to work night shifts in a workplace where otherworldly distortions roam as dangerous creatures and strange anomalies. The job starts as ordinary cleaning work: take out the garbage, mop the floor, and organize the environment. The catch is that you have to do it silently, because noise attracts the distortions. The horror begins when the shift starts, and running away is not enough. You need to capture the distortions, using CCTVs, remote doors, motion sensors, and other equipment handled by Intersection to guarantee an effective capture. Interior design is not just for looks either: you spend your hard-earned money on anomalous furniture that grants perks for all future jobs.
Working together on the job
Hired 2 Die supports 1-4 players, so you can take the shift alone or bring friends along. Teams communicate through proximity voice chat, using the security systems and walkie-talkies to plan and coordinate, but be careful, because they are listening. Coordination matters when you fix complex systems together using the instruction manual. The game is designed differently for single-player and for teams that want to die together, so the experience shifts depending on how many coworkers show up for the shift.
Before you clock in
This is a difficult survival horror game with PvE encounters, stealth, time management, and perma death, so expect a tense and punishing run rather than a relaxed cleaning job. Even the most ordinary task is permanent and will help you in future contracts, which means progress carries forward across jobs. The game is played in first person and in 3D, with a dark and atmospheric tone that also carries some comedy alongside the psychological horror. A new game mode is available alongside the standard contract work.
