Deluxe

You are the Clerk, the team leader at 8-Fifteen location #97433213. Your job is to run a small refueling station just outside of Divinity City, a megacity with all sorts of strange inhabitants. One night, when everything seems to be going as it should, a mysterious update appears on your computer - causing trouble for you and your coworker, Sam (as if your work days weren't hard enough).

As the week goes on and the Update Virus “upgrades” your system, you’ll make decisions that steer the course of the story and affect both Sam and yourself. If you’re lucky, you’ll both make it out with your lives… and maybe a deeper relationship than you were expecting. Gain insight into your customers' personal lives (and how the Update Virus has affected them) through conversations, and treat them with kindness or rudeness to influence how they feel about you. If you're not careful, some people might not come back - including Sam!

Gas Station Story features a variety of different gameplay mechanics - the Overworld, the Point-of-Sale, the Dialogue, and the Mini-Games.

OVERWORLD

The Overworld is the main area of the world that you will be able to explore. There are shelves and coolers with unique descriptions for each day of the story, small tasks to accomplish at the start and end of each shift, interactions with Sam, and the occasional secret encounter.

POINT-OF-SALE

The Point-of-Sale system is how you ring up your customers. There are item buttons that correlate to the prices of the items your customers will be purchasing, as well as a pump selector. There are also a handful of advanced functions that will make the checkout experience go faster, but not without some consequence! Using the advanced functions will lower your Employee Productivity Score, which means the Boss is more likely to come by and criticize your work.

DIALOGUE

These are the Character Portraits, created with a Game Boy Camera! You will often be given the chance to ask your customers questions about their lives and experiences - or to answer their questions with your outlook. Be warned: some customers might not return if you're rude to them!

MINI-GAMES

There are several unique In-Game Mini-Games that you will need to complete in order to finish your shift - from a speedy round of Stocking, to miniature Turn-Based Combat encounters, and even Adventure-style puzzles. As the story progresses, so does the complexity of each mini-game - and some of them have secret sidequests that can affect the real world!
