Before Exit: Gas Station

The game is absolutely worth buying. Of course, you really should play Before Exit: Supermarket first. Despite not having numbered titles, these entries do have a chronological order. With that said, I'm a big fan of the series here, bought the original on PS4 and this version on Steam. Unlike the previous entry, this one focuses more on the story than I expected. While the previous entry said next to nothing about the silent protagonist, this one clarifies the main character's identity, giving him his own personality, voice, and an expanded backstory. At first, I wanted the silent protagonist back, but I ultimately came to appreciate and enjoy that the developers put in the effort to expand the lore of the series. The gameplay is solid with the tasks of closing down the gas station being more randomized than they were in the supermarket one, which I appreciated. In the previous game, I had eventually become so familiar with the possible layouts that I knew within seconds of starting work everything that needed to be done to shut the store down. However, this time, I really had to pay attention every night. I also bought both DLCs. I enjoyed the Midnight DLC more than Daylight. …

The scariest part was not the horror. It was my manager popping out from behind doors and trees to yell at me because I missed one tiny thing before closing (man gives me way too many tasks) I only played a little over an hour because I got violently motion sick, so I cannot say much about the later parts. From what I played, it has a fun silly-spooky concept, but definitely check your tolerance for first-person movement.

this is a must play if you have ocd or if you are just looking for a game to relax to.

This game is just plain a LOT OF WORK! Tasks, tasks, tasks, task only to miss something and it all must be done over. It is a clever game and is fun in a sense ... but it wears thin after awhile...and then your OCD gets involved and it is hard to stop but it is literally like getting a stack of work that is never ending!

Before Exit: Gas Station is an atmospheric mystery experience developed and published by Take IT Studio! that combines workplace simulation, anomaly detection, environmental storytelling, and psychological tension into a surprisingly effective suspense-driven game. Built around the idea that ordinary routines can become unsettling under the right circumstances, the game transforms a simple night shift at an isolated gas station into an increasingly strange and unpredictable experience. Rather than relying on traditional horror mechanics or direct threats, it builds tension through observation, repetition, and the growing realization that something about the environment no longer feels normal. The premise appears straightforward at first. Players take on the role of a gas station employee preparing to close for the night. Responsibilities involve ordinary duties that would feel completely harmless under normal circumstances. Lights need to be turned off. Areas require cleaning and preparation before departure. Remaining customers need to be dealt with properly. The station itself sits far away from busy city life, surrounded by emptiness and darkness that naturally create a quiet s…

Before Exit: Gas Station mixes anomaly hunting with psychological tension surprisingly well. The atmosphere does most of the heavy lifting and creates that constant feeling that something isn't right. The multiple endings and replay structure add mystery, although repeated runs may eventually become repetitive. Still, if you enjoy games that slowly mess with your head instead of throwing constant jumpscares at you - this one is worth checking out. Score: 7/10
