This gave me an idea for a game.
Shift

You start everyday in the back of the store, in the warehouse area.
The idea is that you work part-time in a store, you restock shelves, move carts outside, clean, and maintain the store in a busy city. But, you got One Karen who chases you through the store as you quickly do your job, and she tears through the store to get your attention. The moment you walk out, she walks in. She avoids you in the bathroom, and employee-only areas but she will tear through everything and everyone. You can not hurt her, or damage her, as you will get a game over due to "Assault of a customer".

You gotta survive 20 - 30 minutes of each day, or 4 hours by the ingame clock as time goes by fast, and she gets more ramped up as you progress through your shift, and starts going full-sprinting around the last 5 minutes. Each day will have randomized tasks, every 5 minutes will have new objectives.

You have obsticles though, you gotta do quick answers to citizens, navigate around a crowd or point citizens in a direction, while the Karen is on your tail. Every day will get harder, and every shift will get harder too.

When the shift is over, get to the Break room to clock out.

For modes, you got
> Career
Base version. Pretty much what I explained, and you'll have a score at the end of a day on how much damage / kills the Karen did and how well you did.

> Endless
Says it in the name. Just rank up your score and survive for as long as you can.
You got a clock-out system in this mode, and you can clock out in the break room to collect your score without a game-over screen, extra bonus depending on the time.

> Night Shift
Barley or No Citizens, and barley any staff. Just you and a Karen as you do tasks isolated from the people at night.

> Normal Shift
Same as main game, but Karen is absent. For the more relaxed players who just want a Employee Simulator.

> BLACK FRIDAY
Karen is more aggressive, more Citizens to clog the lines and lanes, tasks are more frequent and you work for 50 minutes.
