The Last Gas Station, the narrative-driven gas station sim developed by Alawar, has launched its first playtest on Steam. Interested parties can sign up via the game’s Steam page. In The Last Gas Station, electric vehicles have rendered gas stations almost obsolete and turned gas itself into a relic lost to time. It’s the player’s job to manage and grow this old gas station and cozy store into a thriving business for weary travellers who haven’t left gas behind just yet.

Players will manage their gas station by stocking shelves with new goodies for hungry travellers, maintaining the gas pumps, and customizing the interiors and exteriors to truly make it their own. However, when night falls upon your unassuming gas station, something more sinister awakens in the wilderness.

Key features in The Last Gas Station:

Modernize & Expand: Rip out outdated pumps, install car maintenance services like tire inflation and oil changes, and upgrade facilities to build a fully functional roadside business.

Set Up Shop: Stock your shelves with snacks, car supplies, and road trip essentials. Optimize layout, improve decor, and manage pricing to turn a profit.

Trade & Serve: Buy and restock goods, run the checkout, and keep your customers happy if a bit uneasy.

Survive the Night: Lock the doors and turn off the lights. Strange things happen out here after sunset… and some of them remember you.

Customize Everything: Design your neon signs, decorate the store, and bring new life to your forgotten little corner of the animal world.
