[p]Hey there, travelers! [/p][p]The old gas station at the edge of the road is finally awake. The floors are freshly swept, the shelves are stocked (mostly), and there’s a soft hum in the air — like something slightly unusual is keeping an eye on the place after dark.  This is your chance to step inside early, take things slow, and experience life at a quiet roadside station in a world that has almost moved on without it. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]During the playtest, you’ll get to take care of a small roadside gas station at your own pace – tidying up the shop, welcoming travelers, stocking shelves, and fueling passing cars. Your daily routine is filled with cozy mini-games, light management, and gentle customization, letting you slowly turn the station into a place that truly feels like your own. [/p][p][/p][p]This playtest represents an early version of the game, so you might notice a few creaky floorboards or rough edges here and there. [/p][p]At this stage, you may encounter the following limitations and issues:[/p]

• [p]Saving and settings are not available yet[/p]
• [p]You may occasionally run into text or visual glitches[/p]
• [p]Controller support is still being polished and may have issues[/p]
• [p]Some audio bugs can occur[/p]
• [p]Parts of the tutorial may feel rough or unfinished[/p]

[p]Thank you for your understanding - your feedback helps us improve the game 💛[/p][p][/p][p]Join the playtest, slow down, take it easy, and enjoy the calm rhythm of running your tiny business [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
