Shady Job is out now on PC via Steam from GAZE IN GAMES, selling at 980 yen with a 38 percent discount to 607 yen running through September 18. The four-player co-op game has players hauling live body bags up an unfinished high-rise and burying them in concrete.
GAZE IN GAMES announced Shady Job on July 9 as a cooperative adventure for PC via Steam, with signups for a playtest open on the store page and Japanese display text planned. The premise puts up to four players in the role of construction workers taking mafia disposal jobs: carry body bags to the top of an unfinished high-rise and bury them in concrete. The bags are alive and fight back, thrashing harder the more roughly they are handled, wrecking structures and pushing players off cliffs. Building blocks, cranes, and scaffolding are used to create a path upward, and the physics produce hazards like electrified floors and teammates freezing solid.
The announcement framed the game around the studio's earlier supermarket horror title HELLMART, which carries a Mostly Positive Steam rating, and its mixture of horror and humor in a physics-based co-op format. A third-quarter 2026 release was scheduled at that point.
By September 11 the game was out on Steam. It is priced at 980 yen, discounted 38 percent to 607 yen until September 18. The pitch holds to the original outline: the cargo is an active hazard, so the physics and the team's coordination are under the same pressure. What the two stories settle is the format, the developer, the platform, and the release. They do not give staff, reviews, or sales figures, and no further release window is stated beyond the launch itself.

GAZE IN GAMES released the co-op adventure Shady job for PC via Steam. Up to four players work as construction workers who also handle mafia disposal jobs, carrying body bags to the top of high-rise buildings and burying them in concrete. The bags are alive and thrash harder the more roughly they are handled. The game is 980 yen, discounted 38 percent to 607 yen until September 18.
GAZE IN GAMES, the developer behind the supermarket horror game HELLMART, announced on July 9 a new cooperative adventure game titled 'Shady Job' for PC via Steam. The game supports up to four players who take on the role of construction workers hired by the mafia to dispose of bodies. The twist is that the body bags are still alive and violently resist transport. Players must carry the struggling bags to the top of an unfinished high-rise building and bury them in concrete, using building blocks, cranes, and scaffolding to create a path upward. The body bags become more violent the more roughly they are handled, destroying structures and pushing players off cliffs. Physics simulations add chaos, with hazards like electrified floors and teammates freezing solid. The game is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2026. Playtest participants are currently being recruited via the Steam store page, and the game's text will support Japanese display.
