Gas Station Simulator Is One Of Steam's Biggest Games Right Now, With Good Reason - Kotaku

When I first booted up Gas Station Simulator, a game that’s spent the last week tearing up the Steam charts, my first thought was “Christ, this place is a dump!” At the start of the game, you inherit a derelict gas station from your uncle, who I’m pretty sure is gang affiliated.

Your goal is simple: pay back your uncle, renovate the station, and service wayward travelers until you’re running the best damn gas station “somewhere on Route 66.” Your life might depend on it.

As a former retail worker, Gas Station Simulator both itched the muscle memory of being proficient under pressure while also reminding me how customer service jobs are the pits.

Throughout the game, you receive phone calls and emails full of tips from your uncle on how to better run the gas station.

Soon, you’ll find yourself waking up outside your gas station only to be greeted by your uncle who calls the incident a misunderstanding.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure your uncle is the Walter White of the gas station empire.

Gas Station Simulator effectively conveys the feeling of running around like a chicken with its head cut off, yet still trying to complete tasks.

I enjoyed my time playing Gas Station Simulator.

I felt a lot like the one guy living in Buford, Wyoming, when it came to managing all aspects of running the gas station!

Gas Station, Pressure Washer, Goat, Farm Truck, Delivery Truck, Game Dev, there’s just so many, and most of them are quite niche
