Doppelgangers are the most important threat in Shift at Midnight, and you must figure them out. But how do you figure out whether they are indeed human or not? That’s the challenge everyone must face. Yet, it’s not so difficult as you think if you’re attentive enough. If you have keen eyes and good instinct, this task would be a breeze for you.
But don’t you worry if you aren’t a natural detective. In this guide, I will share with you my tips on how to know whether one is a doppelganger or a human. Don’t miss out on them, or you’ll have to pay the price.
Guide to Spotting Doppelgangers in Shift at Midnight
Whether one is a doppelganger or not can be figured out from their N.E.T. issued ID Card. But that too can be faked. Notice whether the person standing in front of you looks exactly like the one in the ID. Furthermore, scan the barcode on the ID to get more details on them. If the ID can’t be scanned, don’t jump to the conclusion that it’s a doppelganger. Type their name manually on the computer to check their identity.
At times, you’ll find the doppelganger matching everything. However, their narrative can give them away. For instance, I faced a doppelganger who was buying from the shop for her sister. I looked up the name of the sister manually on the computer and found that she’s already deceased. The key is to verify every claim made by the person.
There could be times when you’ll get news on the notice board, which could help you figure out doppelgangers. Like I faced a doppelganger who claimed to be coming home from work at a diner. However, in the newspaper it said the Diner got burned down. There, another easy lie to catch.
According to Shift at Midnight lore, doppelgangers create themselves from the negative emotions of people. So, to figure out their stories, you have to be attentive to everything they say. Doppelgangers aren’t very great at lying, so use the truth as your weapon. Suspect everyone who walks in, and that’s how you beat them.
