This guide explains how to spot and handle doppelgangers and hostile entities in the horror game Shift at Midnight.

– Doppelgangers can be exposed through mismatched IDs, incorrect personal details, missing barcodes, altered appearance or evidence that a customer is deceased.
– Players should question customers about their date of birth, job and appearance, and use the computer to check passports or driving licences.
– Eliminating doppelgangers is important because letting them leave can cause them to return as stronger entities and increase later monster threats.
– The game features several entities with distinct counters, including freezing the Demented by looking at it, rewinding the Marionette’s music box, and avoiding looking back when fleeing the Dentist.
– The Entity, a spider-like monster, appears during hunts or Blood Moons; weapons, traps and hiding are key survival tools.
