I went into this expecting a relaxing simulator and instead spent most of my time running around in panic trying to stop the entire rest stop from collapsing. What really surprised me is how quickly the game escalates. At first it feels simple, but once customers start piling in and more systems unlock, the workload becomes complete chaos in the best way possible. Fueling customers, stocking shelves, cleaning, fixing problems, managing upgrades, and trying to keep everyone happy all at once creates some genuinely stressful and funny moments. The progression feels rewarding, and the game constantly gives you something to manage without becoming boring. It also creates a lot of natural “everything is going wrong” moments that make it really entertaining. If you enjoy simulator/management games with escalating chaos and nonstop multitasking, this is definitely worth checking out.

Hi, I'm Steeve and this is my review: This game is exactly what Simulator games should be! Don't get me wrong, I love all the simulator games I own but, this is a simulator masterpiece (and I am NOT just blowing this out of proportion!). It is hard enough that you have to lock in but simple enough that you can relax playing it. This game got me going with the "one more day syndrome". I was playing for about 3 extra days before I remembered I was supposed to be off and headed for bed. Fantastic game!!! The only critique I have is this: I unfortunately suffer with misophonia ("a disorder where specific sounds trigger strong emotional or physiological responses that others might perceive as unreasonable" - thank you google) anyway, I wish there was a way to turn off the whistling the character makes. Otherwise, I have no other issues! Keep at it, I can't wait for the updates!!!

I absolutely love this game. It has checked all the boxes for what I personally enjoy in a simulator/management game. The progression, atmosphere, and gameplay loop kept me hooked for hours, and I honestly haven’t enjoyed a game like this in a long time. I do have one question though. I’ve reached the $100,000 mark on the roadmap, and the next part of the roadmap says “bankruptcy,” but that never happened for me. I’ve continued playing and gone well past that point without going bankrupt, so I’m wondering if I missed something or if bankruptcy is actually supposed to happen in order to trigger the unusual event. At this point I have everything running so smoothly and fine-tuned that there isn’t much gameplay left for me, so I’m wondering if I’ve missed something important or if I’ve basically reached the current endgame. Either way, fantastic game, I’ve had a great time with it. Thank you to the developers for creating such an enjoyable experience, and I really hope you continue developing and expanding the game because it has a lot of potential.

Fun but definitely needs to ditch the AI assets and needs some serious optimization It doesnt matter what i have my graphics settings at the game seems to consistently use like 80% GPU on 3D rendering Would also be nice to be able to adjust the time the lights turn on at current its nearly pitch black before they turn on, as well as some more staff options like staff to clean up trash/oil and whatnot and staff to stock shelves. The employee hiring prices are also stupidly high and need to be adjusted ... i shouldnt cost nearly 2 whole days of profit just to hire a 1 star employee for the gas station/market that price makes them prohibitively expensive Its also extremely hard to see oil stains on the ground if its raining so that could use some attention as well
