Overnight Interview
Overnight Interview (J*b Interview by piripiripiri — Itch.io) is a short indie horror-simulation game created by Lucas De Brito. It places the player in the role of a job applicant who must complete an unusual overnight shift as part of the interview. The game mixes routine shop work with strange supernatural elements that appear during the session.

- Restocking shelves with missing items
- Collecting and preparing orders
- Returning misplaced objects to their exact positions
