Shift At Midnight All Endings: Requirements for Every Outcome

Shift At Midnight All Endings Explained

Shift At Midnight all endings come down to one choice after shift 12 and how much personal money you have on night 13. Story Mode runs for 13 shifts, and the pet needs a $250 surgery payment at the end. There are three possible outcomes: the pet lives while Sheriff Clyde dies, Clyde lives while the pet dies, or both survive.

Only the best route is explicitly called the True Ending. The other two are separate outcomes, rather than officially named endings.

How to Unlock All Three Endings

If you're trying to see every Shift At Midnight ending, make a save before the decision after shift 12 if possible. Your choice to call Clyde controls one route immediately, while the other two depend on your surgery money when night 13 begins.

Pet survives, Clyde dies

Finish shift 12 and choose to call Sheriff Clyde. His visit covers the pet's surgery, so you do not need $250 saved for this outcome.

Clyde must still be alive at this point. If you killed him during an earlier visit, you lose the option to call him before the last day.

Clyde survives, pet dies

For the outcome where Clyde lives but the pet does not, do not call Clyde after shift 12. Then enter night 13 with less than $250 in personal funds.

Clyde stays alive because he does not come in during the final shift. Without enough money for surgery, though, the pet cannot be saved.

Shift At Midnight True Ending: both survive

The Shift At Midnight good ending is the True Ending. Don't call Clyde after shift 12, keep him alive during earlier encounters, and have at least $250 in personal funds for the surgery on night 13.

This is the route to take if you searched for Shift At Midnight how to get true ending or need a simple True Ending guide: save the money yourself and do not make the call.

Saving Enough Money for the True Ending

The biggest mistake is treating store revenue as surgery money. It isn't. Store revenue pays for upgrades, tools, and weapons, while the pet's surgery requires money in your personal funds.

Each completed shift pays $10. You can also earn an extra 10% of store revenue when the store beats its daily quota. To protect your True Ending fund:

• Keep shelves stocked so customers can buy items.
• Serve customers at the till quickly.
• Clean the store and improve the shop floor when it helps you earn more.
• Complete manager requests for extra earnings.
• Look for Tokens before reading the notice board and starting a shift, then use the wheel for chances at more revenue.
• Avoid shooting human customers. The pay penalty cuts into the money you need.
• Don't buy the pet's medicine every time unless you can still reach $250.

Pet medicine lets the pet join the following shift, but frequent medicine payments can leave you short on the final surgery cost. If you're close to night 13 and below the target, prioritize keeping personal funds instead.

The Ending Decision After Shift 12

The post-shift-12 decision is simple, but it has very different consequences.

Calling Sheriff Clyde is the fallback if you did not save enough personal money. The pet will live, but Clyde will not. Refusing to call him preserves Clyde, then the surgery payment decides whether the pet survives too.

For the True Ending, calling him is the wrong choice even if it feels like the safer option. You need to handle the $250 surgery yourself.
