Dimensional Double Shift’s First-Ever Halloween Festival Has Breached New Joysey’s Containment
Greetings valued shift workers!
In the interest of maintaining morale and ensuring a healthy balance of productivity and deeply unsettling joy, we are pleased to announce that Halloween is officially invading Dimensional Double Shift with our first-ever Halloween festival celebrating all things spoopy. Yes, this is absolutely canon. Yes, it is completely safe. Mostly.
Welcome to Worktoberfest
Beginning on October 16, the simulation will expand to include our newest dimension, , which comes preloaded with Worktoberfest that brings delightful Halloween flare, ghostly new cosmetics to unlock, cozy campfires perfect for swapping scary tales, and legally distinct ghost noises. The fun will last until November 2, assuming we can recontain everything by then.
Here’s what you can expect now that the dimensional breach is open:
Halloweenifications Everywhere
Keep an eye out for festive décor across the DDS ecosystem. From from the familiar login room to the cozy campfire with some festive surprises, your shifts just got a little bit more Halloweenie. Sneaky spiders leaving their cobwebs everywhere, jack-o-lanterns that just want to make sure you’re out there making new friends, and a strangely familiar skeleton who might be Gary from Accounting will all help set the mood while you continue your regularly scheduled missions. Do not make eye contact with the skeleton.
Hauntingly Dope Limited-Time Cosmetics
Whether you want to look like a haunted ghostly apparition or something that escaped from the bottom of a Halloween clearance bin, we have something for you. Equip your ghostly gear, radiate seasonally-appropriate menace, and shift with style.
Campfire Radio Ghost Stories
If you venture over to the Campfire Social Area (very safe, lightly cursed), you’ll be treated to weekly horror stories broadcast via the in-game radio. You can also hear these spoopy stories in the login room, as well. These tales are inspired by real events, probably embellished by ALICE, and will absolutely impact your sleep cycle. Get comfy. Bring snacks. Pretend you don’t hear footsteps behind you.
Spoooopy campfire ghost tales just like our nonna used to tell!
But wait. We are also taking this outside of the simulation.

Team Ghost Hunt
For the first time ever, our actual team (with the CEOwl in all of his Conglomni Corp glory) will venture into the mortal realm for an authentic ghost hunt. What could possibly go wrong?
Livestream Chaos
Expect special Halloween streams packed with trivia, dev commentary, jump-scares, and exactly one legally required safety check-in with HR.
October 27 @ 11am PST/1pm CT: Owlchemy does Joysey! Let’s check out our latest dimension together!
October 30 @ 11am PST/1pm CT: Owlchemy does Phasmophobia in VR for the first time… surely it will just be a chill stream, right? R-right??
Put your okayest cosplay foot forward! Or… foot-like programs.
Cosplay Mayhem
Go professional or go through your closet - we want to see your IRL DDS cosplays and looks! Create something beautiful, terrifying, or accidentally both using whatever you have lying around your home office, kitchen, or crawlspace. Share your masterpieces on socials like Twitter, BlueSky, Instagram or in the Discord using #Worktoberfest for a chance to be featured on official channels and unlock an exclusive Discord role. Submissions are open until October 31, so don’t hold back. It’s what ALICE would want.
See you on the other side… and by that, we mean New Joysey, the newest Dimension to shake up Dimensional Double Shift. Check it out today for $4.99!
