Shady Job is a new cooperative game on Steam that asks players to bury a body in concrete. The concept matters because it turns a grim task into a chaotic physics puzzle. You and up to three friends must manage a corpse that actively resists being buried. This setup creates immediate tension for groups looking for a lighthearted but stressful party game.
Developer pauses sign-ups to manage overwhelming interest in co-op burial simulator
The game places you on unfinished skyscrapers where the body bag is not just a prop. It fights back when you handle it roughly, which can damage the construction site. The corpse can knock players off ledges or break structural elements you are trying to use. You need tools like a plunger gun to climb and keep the body under control.
Gaze in Games is currently managing a surge of interest in the project. The developer stated that they are thinking about closing playtest sign-ups due to the high volume of requests. They noted that managing such a large number of participants is a challenge for the team. The goal is to ensure the playtest runs smoothly for everyone involved.
Playtests are scheduled for July 24 and 25. Sign-ups are temporarily closed while the team assesses the demand. There is no official release date announced for the full game yet. Players interested in testing the mechanics should watch for updates on Steam.
