Story Mode Evidence Checker
Choose a Night and customer, then compare the exact database, newspaper, dialogue, appearance, history, or tool clue shown in your game.
Not an Endless Mode algorithm. These fan-made encounter packs apply to specific full-release Story scenes checked on 10 August 2026. Later updates and random encounters may differ.

STORY MODE CLUE LIST
All 13 fixed Story encounters
Search by Night, customer, or clue. These are encounter-specific comparisons—not permanent labels attached to a face or name.
13 encounters shown
Nathan Calloway
For this encounter, the computer database lists him as deceased while Nathan is standing at the counter.
This pack applies to Nathan’s fixed Night 1 Story encounter, not every customer whose record is difficult to find.
Julietta Granger
Compare Julietta’s database occupation with the uniform and job story presented at the counter.
This is the fixed Night 1 Story encounter; clothing by itself is not a universal rule for other customers.
Norbert
This encounter uses two linked checks: the presented ID and the result of an exact computer search.
A failed search is meaningful here because it is paired with this fixed Story encounter; it is not a rule for every unknown name.
Tommy Delgado
The first Tommy says he is shopping for his sister Catherine; her database record is the cross-check.
Night 3 contains both a first Tommy encounter with this conflict and a later real Tommy who mourns Catherine.
Ramona Delgado
The relevant evidence comes from the EmotiScope readout rather than appearance alone.
This pack records Ramona’s fixed Story encounter and does not make every unusual emotion a universal result.
Louisa Mari
Louisa is a deliberate false-positive trap: the real person has a leg difference, but the first visitor’s deformation is extreme.
Night 7 includes a first extreme visitor and a separate real Louisa whose condition is announced by the manager.
David Kennedy
David’s statement about his twin sister must be compared with the obituary on the notice-board newspaper.
This clue depends on the Night 8 Story newspaper and David’s exact statement, not on his name alone.
Clyde Dawson
The key is shared history: the real Clyde taught the tutorial and should not behave as if you have never met.
This Night 9 visit is conditional on the real Clyde still being alive; Clyde’s earlier Story visits are documented as human encounters.
Aria Romero
Conversation can appear normal; the documented key clue is visible through the Anomaly Lens.
This is Aria’s fixed Night 9 Story encounter; a normal conversation does not replace the tool check.
Vivien Marrow
Vivien’s fixed Story clue is an Anomaly Lens reveal.
This pack applies to Vivien’s Night 10 Story appearance and does not generalize pale clothing or complexion into a rule.
Ethan Voss
Ethan’s work claim must be compared with the newspaper report about the east-side power outage.
This clue depends on the current Story newspaper and Ethan’s exact laundromat claim.
Maya Davila
Maya’s date story must be compared with the newspaper report that her husband is missing.
This is a fixed Night 12 Story clue; relationship claims for other customers require their own records.
Kevin Larson
Kevin is the clearest warning against permanent name labels: his Night 1 encounter differs from the fixed Night 13 Lens result.
Kevin’s Night 1 Story visit is documented as human; this evidence pack applies only to his fixed Night 13 appearance.
RESEARCH SOURCE REGISTER
Community references reviewed for the 13 encounter packs
Every encounter above records both research references below. They provide overlapping Story encounter details, but the site has not independently reproduced every clue in-game or established a field-by-field agreement ledger. Treat each pack as a version-scoped comparison aid: verify the named evidence in your own current run, and use “I cannot verify” when the screen does not match.

Story checker FAQ
Is this a complete Shift At Midnight doppelgangers list?
It is a version-scoped research list of 13 fixed full-release Story encounters compiled from two community references. The site has not independently reproduced every clue in-game, and the list is not a complete Endless Mode roster or a permanent label for each name.
Can the same customer be human in one Night and a doppelganger later?
Yes. Kevin Larson is documented as human on Night 1 but has a fixed Anomaly Lens conflict on Night 13. Night and encounter context matter.
What does “Not enough evidence” mean?
A key clue is unanswered or could not be verified. Return to the named database, newspaper, dialogue, appearance, history, or tool check instead of treating Unknown as a match.
Does this checker work in Endless Mode?
No. The current packs are limited to fixed Story Mode encounters. Endless Mode uses randomized shifts and needs separate, reproducible validation.
