Buy Gas Station Story PC key

Gas Station Story casts you as the Clerk, team leader at 8-Fifteen location #97433213, a small refueling station just outside Divinity City, a megacity inhabited by strange people. One night, a mysterious update appears on your computer and causes trouble for you and your coworker Sam. Over the course of the week, the Update Virus “upgrades” your system, while your decisions shape the story and affect both you and Sam. The game takes 4–6 hours to play and has 30 endings.

Customers and choices

You learn about customers’ personal lives and how the Update Virus has affected them through conversations. You can treat them kindly or rudely, influencing how they feel about you; some may not return if you are rude. Your choices can also affect Sam, and the story may lead to the two of you making it out alive and developing a closer relationship.

There are 45 characters to meet and over 180 unique character portraits made using a Game Boy Camera. The narrative system adapts to your decisions.

Work at the station

The game combines four mechanics: exploring the Overworld, serving customers through the Point-of-Sale, talking with characters and completing mini-games. In the Overworld, you can inspect shelves and coolers, each with descriptions that change from day to day, complete small tasks at the start and end of shifts, interact with Sam and encounter occasional secrets.

At the Point-of-Sale, you ring up customers using item buttons that correspond to prices and select their fuel pump. Advanced functions can speed up checkout, but using them lowers your Employee Productivity Score, making it more likely that the Boss will stop by and criticize your work.

Shifts and mini-games

Conversations let you ask customers about their lives and experiences or answer their questions with your own outlook. Character portraits accompany these exchanges, and some customers may not return if you are rude to them.

You must complete several kinds of mini-games to finish each shift, including a fast-paced Stocking round, miniature turn-based combat encounters and adventure-style puzzles. The mini-games become more complex as the story progresses, and some have secret sidequests that can affect the real world.
