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.

无聊、潦草的小游戏
게임은 짧고 재미있습니다. 그리고 VHS 효과를 조절할 수 있는데 VHS 효과를 사용하고 있을 때 좀 눈에 피로감이 심하다 하시면 최대로 낮추어서 해도 좋기는 하지만 공포스러운 분위기는 좀 낮아질 수 있습니다. 그래도 엄청 깔끔하게 보여서 뭔가 또 다른 게임을 하는 느낌이라 나쁘지는 않았습니다. 게임 섬네일 이미지에 괴물이 나올 줄 알았는데 전혀 다르게 생긴 게 웃기긴 했지만 스토리나 이런 건 재미있었습니다.
Атмосферный хоррор, совсем не упоротый, и отличный сюжет
I nice quick game with a few scares. the endings are definitely different and unexpected. Here is my gameplay if you want to watch https://youtu.be/xLbC4v3-oLU?si=Vb9emaWnJfLdX2NI
무난하게 하기 좋은 공포게임이였습니다. 다른엔딩 보기 위한 이어하기+히든엔딩 힌트 너무 좋았어요! 반전도 나름 상상치 못한 그런 내용이였습니다. 다음엔 한국배경으로 내주세요..!
엔딩은 3가지 자수할때 엔딩 하나 도망갈때 하나 나머지는 히든으로 가는 단서의 키 아이템을 찾는것 좀 꼼꼼히 살펴봐야 하긴 하지만 상호작용 할만한 요소는 많지 않아서 금방 끝낼수 있음 엄청 무서운 공포보다는 점프 스퀘어가 조금 첨가된 놀랄수 있는 요소만 있을뿐 숨통을 조여오는 그런 공포류는 아니라는 것 분위기 자체의 압박감은 있지만 그리고 그래픽이 약간 눈 아프게 만듬 이런 게임 특인거 같음 엔딩 3가지 보는것 자체는 오래 걸리지 않음 대략 30분에서 40분이면 전부 볼수 있으니 다만 키 아이템 찾는것에 사람마다 다를지도 모름 그래도 나름 할만했고 재밌었지만 공포요소는 좀 부족하다 느낄수 있음
Fantastic short horror. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much to the dev for a key. I can't wait for what the dev is cooking up next. Solid gameplay!

No hate meant to dev, game is straight out of roblox, and the 3$ pricepoint matches it. it's playtime is 30 minutes long which makes it more worth to buy other 3$ horror games instead. 5/10. 10/10 PERFECT GAME KEEP MAKING GAMES DEV.
Very short but well made. I enjoy the retro style graphics. The story had a nice twist at the end with the secret ending. Not overly scary but had some good jump scares.
