About
A short, single-sitting VHS horror experience.
In Empty Gauge, you spend three unsettling days moving between a remote gas station and your home.
By day, you work the night shift alone. By night, strange clues begin to pile up, nightmares grow more vivid, and reality starts to feel less reliable.
What begins as an ordinary part-time job slowly turns into something far more disturbing.
Take care of routine gas station duties while the night drags on.
Run the register
Restock shelves and clean the store
Refuel customers and finish your shift
After work, head back home and investigate the strange signs left behind.
Each discovery reveals a little more about what is happening — and what may be waiting for you.
As the days pass, the line between your job, your home, and your dreams begins to collapse.
Unsettling encounters, sudden danger, and disturbing visions push the story toward its end.
Your choices and the clues you uncover will determine how the story ends.

This is a short game . Let’s get that out the way. For $3 , I’d say it’s worth it. It does have multiple endings . Sore spooky moments but nothing crazy . I did enjoy the atmosphere and really appreciate the PSX graphics . Can’t wait to see what the dev does next and hopefully it’s a longer game
엔딩 3개 다 보기 편하고 게임이 친절해요 재밌어요^^
안녕하세요 저는 공포라는 모르는 사나이입니다 공포영화, 공포게임, 공포방탈출, 공포 어쩌구 저는 이런건 무섭지 않습니다. 근데 이게임은 존나게 시발 무서웠습니다 중간에 3번정도 끌뻔했습니다 진짜 무서워서 인형끼고 게임했습니다 진짜 시발 에바입니다 진짜 오줌마려워지고 약간 땀나고 진짜 시발무섭습니다
W game short and cheap, also quite scary but nothing too much
pretty fun, not super scary, and a little short. enjoyable for a late night game before bed though :)
Excellent little horror game. Some thrills. Some spills. Creepy at times and the different endings and how they play totally different is cool. Short but sweet.
짧지만 엔딩도 3가지이고 점프 스퀘어도 있어서 재밌게 즐길 수 있었습니다. 재밌게 플레이 했습니다~
https://youtu.be/xYVGlp-BTow Today! We found the corpse of "Empty Gauge" Flesh (Visuals): Its got that PSX style, which I enjoy, had a VHS filter on it, looked pretty good and wasn't super noticeable. Dismemberment (Difficulty): Not difficult at all, walking simulator, some searching for basic tasks, some chases, overall pretty easy Infestation (Bugs): Did not notice any bugs, besides this one :cockroach: Corpse Integrity (Story): Your a dude, life kinda sucks, manager is weird, working 3rd shift, but life is not as it appears as we find out more about our character, I enjoyed it, got the extra endings besides I believe the hidden ending involving finding all the clues (not spoiler... there is a tip on the menu screen) but the endings had a pretty interest twist to them, keept me engaged and interested to where I wanted to see the other endings. Something Off About It? (Ambience): As the game progresses, we can tell things are off about our character and the situation going on with their life and job, some parts gave me some chills, had some good scares and a few panics How Long To Dismember (Playtime): Took me, with finding two endings, about 40 minutes to play through Value Of Meat (Price): Right now, it is $2.99 on steam, I think its a fair price. Post Mortem Thoughts: Empty Gauge: Walked in with some guesses about the situation, enjoyed the ending twists, give me chills, spooked me some, its never "ketchup" , overall, was a good time, I have a love for these "convenience store" horror game and this one was a good one!
Jogo muito bom, fiz todos os finais, plot digno de cinema, parabens ao Dev por colocar em PT-BR, jogarei todos os jogos futuros!
스토리, 개연성, 플레이타임, 힌트, 엔딩 뭐 하나 빠짐없는 육각형짜리 공포게임 재밌게 플레이 했습니다.
