Late Shift walkthrough
About this walkthrough
This is a complete walkthrough for Late Shift.
Using this walkthrough will get you through the game with the least amount of time and wandering around, but may spoil the game and fun of exploring.
The game doesn't have any real way to win or lose like most games do, the only difference in playthroughs is how the story is going to end. There are seven different endings, all of which can be reached from chapter 10. This walkthrough shows how to access all those endings, but doesn't cover all individual steps earlier in the game. A basic instruction on how to reach the decision point for all possible endings is as follows:
- In the garage, help the girl, try to prevent car theft, and then co-operate.
- In the auction, first do as told, but in the basement try to prevent escape.
- After the car crash, choose to go to Mr Woe, and convince May-Ling to come along.
- Later, on the street, do not fight with the gang to get to the hospital.
- In the hospital, threaten the guy enough to make him give the information that is needed.
- The next chapter after the hospital will be chapter 10, and from there it is possible to reach any ending, following the steps described.
