The Last Gas Station is a game that will successfully appeal to those looking for a simpler simulator with a good, engaging story. At first, plot seems to be nothing more than tall tales spun by local conspiracy theorists, but it gradually becomes an essential part of everyday life. Player’s perspective quickly shifts from “The Unknown is just a figment of the imagination” to “The Unknown is out to get me”. Furthermore, gameplay mechanics are engaging and encourage you to keep playing, whilst also being neatly combined with elements of managing and upgrading your petrol station. Unfortunately, by the very end of the game, it’s clear that developers ran out of ideas about what else to add and how to spice up their game, so they opted for full automation of our station. This has had a negative impact on the quality of the gameplay, which has simply turned into an idle game that you can’t alt-tab out of. On top of that, if you want to unlock all of the achievements, you’re in for a tedious grind. When grinding stops being fun and starts feeling like a chore, it simply means it’s been poorly designed. Would I recommend it? Yes It’s a small, enjoyable game that’s perfect as a break between bigger, more demanding titles, or for playing whilst travelling. ✅ [*] Eye-catching pixel art. Game looks great, and the in-game events are quite well designed from an artistic perspective. Locations are properly detailed without appearing overdesigned; they also manage to look both cozy and crazy at the same time. [*] UI is well designed and implemented. Tutorial covers all essentials. [*] Main story is a surprisingly good marriage of classic sim with X-Files. Game really stands out thanks to the myths and events woven around them. Myths themselves are well-known classics (such as the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot), to which the developers have given their own character and twist. So it’s not mindless copying, but rather a source of inspiration. [*] Station’s management and upgrade system is well designed. It is intuitive, easy to use, and each upgrade gives you a real sense of progress. [*] Plenty of themed customization options for our gas station. [*] Overall gameplay loop is quite satisfying, and you soon find yourself caught up in the ‘just one more day’ syndrome. [*] Side activities and manual tasks (basically mini-games) serve to add variety to the core mechanics. Various upgrades expand upon those tasks or completely transform them, which helps to keep the gameplay feeling relatively ‘fresh’. [*] Achievements are connected to the story and game mechanics. 😐 [*] Story pacing sometimes feels a bit uneven. [*] Soundtrack is your typical filler. It’s pleasant and suits the atmosphere of a station in the middle of nowhere, but at the same time it’s nothing worth writing home about. ❌ [*] If you want to have all achievements you need to grind a lot. Unfortunately due to certain late-game design decisions it isn’t a pleasurable experience. [*] Upgrades in the final stages of the game take all the fun out of playing. At this point, the station practically runs itself without the need for player intervention, and the game itself changes from a management/mystery into an idle game. [*] Store Assistant (Level 4 upgrade) isn't working very well. It tends to buy products that the store already has a significant stock of and ignore those that are in short supply. According to the configurable filters, this shouldn't happen, but I get the impression that right now it's doing the opposite. [*] You can’t manually adjust product prices.
Well, after getting an ending in 11+ hours of gameplay, here's my thought of the game: 1. NGL, i expected more... More area, more management, more immersions, more story, more life sim, and more gameplay... But i guess this is what i got... It may sounds like i'm dissapointed because i am... Not that the game is bad, it's just that i expected more... So go ahead, get this game but it's better to get it on discount... 2. The story is linear, but has different ending. Not for the choice you made, but the progress you achieve. And that kind of story is as plain as ever. But that's just my opinion really... I expected more of it, but that's the only thing i can get. I don't have the intention to achieve all to see different ending. Maybe someday in the future... 3. The management side of the game is good, the early game mechanics is simple. It's not overwhelming if you don't rush the upgrade. I'm kind of an expert to management game, i know what i had to buy first, so i'm not overwhelmed by the needs of balancing profit margins. But again, i really expecting more upgrades, more hectic gameplay, and grander gas station where i can be satisfied of my achievement nurturing my gas station... And again, this is only my opinion. The game is great in case of the management gameplay experience, but for me, it needs more... 4. If you're open-minded, this game is for you. There are no modern propaganda, just a propaganda... No forced behavior, just a normal indie game with a little bit of propaganda like all the game should be... It's not the best game, but it's a good simple game with a lot of mystery and good gameplay experience... So that's it for my review. All of these are just my opinions, it doesn't make the game worse or better. It's just a game review... It may not matter, but i give this game 7.5/10... I hope all is well for you guys and gals, and if not, don't loose hope... Ciao...
What It Is - A side scrolling management sim - You are an adorable red panda who is running an abandoned gas station - The previous owner has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and you slowly uncover what happened - the story is fed to you piecemeal through conversations with quirky customers and strange goings-on in the middle of the night. How It Plays - The game runs on a day/night cycle. - You manually pump gas for customers, restock your store, checkout customers. - The game starts simple with pumping gas - you can incrementally unlock upgrades to earn more money, like running a car wash and a mechanic shop. - Each aspect of the business has an interactive mini game behind it, like stopping the gas pump at the right time, changing out car batteries by hitting the right buttons, power washing pixelated dirt clumps off cars etc. - You need to upgrade and decorate the gas station to level up your ‘popularity,’' ‘civilization’ level, and ‘mystery’ — each contribute to your progress and earnings. Art Style - Pixelated art style, with smooth animation - Adorable character design - Colourful and vibrant during the day - Eerie vibes at night What I like - Clear sense of progression through the skill tree and unlocks are nicely paced. - The story behind it is interesting, and much more than you typically get in a shop/management sim - Gameplay loop is satisfying, and each day goes by quickly. - It took me about 12 hours to finish, which I thought was the right amount of time to avoid things dragging on. Criticisms - Towards the end of the game, things slow down a lot - customer density caps out and so much of those manual mini games that you complete earlier on become automated, leaving you with not much to do during the day but serve customers in the shop and wait. It’s odd, because the more you progress and unlock, the less you end up interacting with the game, so it leaves a lot of downtime. - The mini games become a bit monotonous as you’re repeating them hundreds of times over. - NPC dialogue can be lengthy, and this usually happens in the middle of a busy day when you’ve got multiple other customers to attend to. The customers don’t seem to care and will wait infinitely, which is a bit odd - there really is no urgency. - The car wash is so far away from the gas station, it’s a bit of a hassle to run back and forth to keep serving customers there - this one of the first tasks I automated as soon as I could. Overall This is a cosy sim with a surprisingly dark mystery underpinning it, best enjoyed if you like management games and don’t mind a slower pace as it winds down.
"You don't have to believe in something real to do real stupid things because of it." In The Last Gas Station , you're a red panda "city girl" who takes over a remote gas station near Cloven Peak. Eccentric locals warn you to stay inside after dark, strange things go bump in the night, no one knows what happened to the previous shopkeeper, someone's scattering curious recordings in your path like bread crumbs, and so you ask yourself: How can I use this weirdness to turn a profit? Gameplay + Details Gameplay loop consists of 10-minute workdays starring simple fueling/maintenance/washing minigames, plus fretting about fuel storage and exact change. The shop's "popularity" increases naturally, but can be boosted by "Civilization" (gained from upgrades and decorations; earns money) and "Mysteries" (increased by themed item sales and décor; earns story). Evenings provide unlimited time to resupply, stock shelves, decorate, browse a conspiracy website, purchase upgrades, etc. Going to bed saves the game and displays daily stats. It's so easy to say, "Just one more day." Playtime. ~17 hours to 100%. Controls. Plays beautifully on keyboard/mouse and X-Box controller. Includes a "Steam Deck" mode in settings. Settings/Options. Music and sound sliders; toggle for Windowed. What Works For Me ✅ Simple minigames paired with chill lofi was *chef's kiss.* ✅ I loved balancing the different tasks and stations. ✅ Which gets increasingly difficult as popularity grows. ✅ Organization fans, you're gonna love stocking shelves! ✅ "Just one more day," I repeated again and again. ✅ The townies are unique and delightful. ✅ Gorgeous pixel art! The characters! The cars! ✅ Four endings leading to subtly different cut scenes. ✅ Game politely resets to the morning before the ending. What Doesn't Work For Me 🟥 Customers do not mind waiting all day. 🟥 Minigames can feel repetitive. 🟥 Mysteries are a little disappointing in the end. 🟥 Really, I wanted more answers or more story. 🟥 Game does not actually pause when townies talk. 🟥 Long stretches of time between cut scenes/events. 🟥 Completing the final quest does… nothing? 🟥 Ending feels very abrupt. Oh, intrigue! Oh, over. Final Thoughts + Recommendation I've been travelling a lot recently (including a thematic roadtrip in Mr. Eekz's electric car) and overwhelmed at work, so The Last Gas Station 's low stakes, simple but repetitive tasks, dash of time pressure, lovely art, and chillaxing music were exactly what I needed. The short days made it easy to play while enjoying a morning tea or while cooking rice, and I set it down for a full week and picked it back up without missing a beat. Busy gamers - take note! Its greatest weaknesses are the world-building and story. While running a gas station in a world that doesn't run on fossil fuels could be challenging, there's no shortage of customers; instead, the setting serves as a launching pad for warnings about the environmental impact of electric vehicle manufacturing. At the same time, the six mysteries -- largely unrelated to EVs -- are told in small pieces and lengthy articles, with long stretches of nothing between reveals. I had fun trying to unravel everything, and it comes together more articulately than Whisper of the House , but I would've liked more cut scenes, more interactions, or a pet Bigfoot . The four endings are absolutely worth finding for the music alone, but feel rushed and abrupt. All in all, though, this was such a lovely surprise. I would not recommend it to anyone searching for a story-driven game, complex minigames, or crunchy management, but would easily suggest it to anyone who enjoys cozy shop sims, unique NPCs, or games you can pick up and put down.

That game really hit the sweet spot for me. A bit of management, a sprinkle of simulation, and a ton of mysteries to uncover!🕵️ I finished it in just under 20 hours, so it’s not very grindy to 100%, and the devs are super responsive to players’ needs. Big recommendation from me!👽
