SHIFT: A tactical extraction game in your city
SHIFT turns a player's real city into a GPS-based tactical game of exploration, combat, looting, crafting, and extraction.
Field notes
The game maps movement onto a player's actual city, using GPS to direct walking quests, dungeons, encounters, and raids against garrisons. Its listed loop combines round-based combat with loot extraction, crafting, and base building. The setting is divided among Continuity, Sublimate, Meridian, and the Baronies, with the homepage describing radiation surges, autofactories, and a century-old catastrophe. PvP is identified as planned, while playtest invitations are sent in waves; Vienna-based applicants receive priority.
