Gas Station Simulator News

You’re not the first to the turf. That much can be easily guessed by the fact there was a Gas Station (ruins thereof, to be specific) available for purchase. But we’re not talking about your predecessors. These have come and gone. This person has been here and is here to stay. And he’s younger than you.

Out there, not too far from your Gas Station stands a lonely fort cobbled together out of metal sheets, wire, duct tape and a healthy serving of goodwill. Within that fort dwells Dennis, a child that nobody quite knows how he got there. Nobody quite knows where Dennis should be. Asking about the child yields a simple “he’s always been here” or “I don’t know”. Asking Dennis himself usually yields a balloon of paint to the face. Relying on your eyes might provide a few clues as to whom Dennis is related, but you’ll have to really train your eyes to eagle’s precision. The kid is anything but slow.

So getting a Gas Station came packaged in with an imp. What does Dennis do? He hates you. Well, not really. He pretends, but you’re strangers to each other. More accurately, he finds you stepping over turf that, in his logic, belongs to him and him alone. And that means war. Of course, Dennis is a child and you needn’t worry about having your fuel stations blown up overnight. However, you might want to get a mop and a broom. And plenty of other things, too.



Dennis’ modus operandi is simple. He can’t break things, so he’ll do his best to despoil them. Aggravating him might have you wake up to… a good number of small, but harmless things. Well, harmful to your time. Because someone has to clean this all up.

What will upset the kid? A variety of factors, but picking up on his tendencies will help you account for the inevitability of your walls becoming an art exhibit unto themselves. Since the land is considered his turf, you can be sure Dennis will come calling whenever you invest in a significant upgrade to your gas station. The kid also doesn’t like people coming in large numbers, so the better you’re doing the higher the chance you’ll find Dennis’ handiwork somewhere on your station. Where will he strike? Simply put - no place is safe.

One day, maybe, Dennis and you will bury the axe and put your differences (his differences) behind the two of you. For now, consider the kid your little nemesis. Good luck keeping things together, you’ll need it!

Gas Station Simulator is all about running a gas station. An abandoned gas station you buy, renovate, build up and with time expand. All that while running it and serving customers to earn money for expanding it even further and adding new services.

In this demo we set you up with a gas station that is mostly renovated and already somewhat equipped that you have run for a day or two. Fill up cars, sell goods in your tiny gas station store, do some smaller car repairs, whatever it takes to keep customers satisfied. That means keeping the place clean, too.

With the limited scope of a demo we wanted to give you a good idea of how running a gas station in our game feels and let you experience some of the base mechanics you will see in the full game. While it’s just a tiny portion of things you’ll be able to do in Gas Station Simulator, we feel it provides a very nice experience and outlook onto the final product.
Give it a try and let us know how you liked it, we’d love to read your feedback.

And here some fresh in-game footage out of the demo:

It’s finally here, the demo for Gas Station Simulator!

To give you a better idea of the gameplay elements you will see in the game, we decided to not demo the start of the game, but use a gas station that has been already renovated and equipped a bit instead.

A cousin of yours is working on a gas station and needs to take off for a day of two, asking you to step in and take over for a bit. This way you get to experience some of the actual gameplay and see how you like it.

We also added a link to a survey at the end of the demo. If you have a couple of minutes, please help us improve the game by providing some feedback. The tried to keep the survey short and easy to navigate.

And no go and enjoy the demo!
