Changelog

Stay up to date with the latest game updates

2025-11-17 (20 days ago)

New Game page (/en/game) with a full overview of Shift at Midnight, including story summary, core features, PC requirements and official links (Itch.io, Steam, GitHub mirror).
Dedicated Game Guide article: "Shift at Midnight Game Guide: Complete Walkthrough and Survival Tips for Beginners".
Dedicated Download Guide article: "Shift at Midnight Download Guide: How to Install, Launch, and Update the Game".
New Privacy Policy (/en/privacy) and Terms of Service (/en/terms) pages so the site no longer 404s from the footer and looks more trustworthy for players and ad networks.

Updated all "Play / Start Playing" buttons to route through the Game page instead of linking directly to the ZIP file, so players can read what they are about to download first.
Tweaked Open Graph and Twitter meta tags for the Game, Guide and Download pages to look better when shared on social media.
Adjusted internal link structure so all game-related content is now grouped under a clear "Game Hub".

Fixed a bug where some links in the navigation still pointed to old placeholder URLs.
Cleaned up a couple of typos in earlier article titles and descriptions.

2025-11-15 (22 days ago)

New advanced article: "How to Identify Doppelgangers in Shift at Midnight: Advanced Detection Guide", focusing on:
A 3-layer detection flow (papers / person / context)
Concrete English question templates for players to use in-game
Different doppelganger archetypes (hesitant, silent, over-confident, overly calm, defensive)
Simple ASCII "diagrams" for positioning, sightlines and safe paths inside the station.

Linked the new guide from the Game page and from related content cards so it's easier to find for new players.
Reworked some headings and sub-headings to be closer to the tone of horror content creators instead of sounding like a dry wiki.

Fixed inconsistent capitalization of "Shift at Midnight" across several English articles.
Corrected a couple of broken anchor links inside long-form guides.

2025-11-12 (25 days ago)

First version of the Beginner Content Pack:
A long-form article explaining the core loop (interrogation → management → survival).
A "first night" walkthrough to help new players avoid soft-locking themselves with bad decisions.
A simple "Common Beginner Mistakes" list with practical examples.

Updated article thumbnails and preview texts so readers immediately understand whether a post is about mechanics, downloads, or story.
Slightly rebalanced heading sizes and spacing on article pages to improve readability on mobile.

Fixed a layout issue where long English titles would overlap the breadcrumb on smaller screens.
Resolved a bug where some older posts didn't correctly respect the locale in their URLs.

2025-11-08 (29 days ago)

Multi-language routing via [locale] so English and Chinese content can coexist cleanly under /en/... and /zh/....
Initial Chinese translations for key pages: Home, Game intro, and several core articles.

Restructured the content tree into data/md/en and data/md/zh to make it easier to add new posts without breaking anything.
Refined the breadcrumb component to show localized labels for "Home", "Changelog", "Game", etc.

Fixed a bug where switching locale would sometimes drop users back to the homepage instead of the localized version of the current page.

2025-11-02 (about 1 month ago)

Initial public release of shiftatmidnight.com as a small fan-made hub for the game Shift at Midnight.
Basic homepage with a short game description, a "Play" button and a few placeholder sections for future content.
Basic Changelog page to keep track of what actually changes between versions.

Early SEO pass: human-readable URLs, sensible page titles, and meta descriptions so search engines don't have to guess.

Footer links to Privacy Policy and Terms were still pointing to placeholder routes.
No proper game guide or download instructions yet — players mostly relied on external posts and store pages.
