Before Exit: Gas Station on PS5 was sent to me by Take It Studio, which I always appreciate. You can also pick it up on Steam if that is more to your liking. Shout out to them for tossing me this, well, let’s talk about what kind of game it is.
If you have ever worked in a gas station or really any sort of retail, you know how the day goes. You come to work, clean up some messes, maybe wait on some customers, stock some shelves, and kill time until the end of your shift. Then you empty the trash, make sure stuff looks good for tomorrow, make sure all the doors are closed, and lights are off, then you head out the door and head home. There is a twist here, however.
Unlike your real job, when you leave the gas station at night, if you miss anything, the owner will be right there to bitch at you, but only if you miss anything you should have done. Don’t worry, the game is nice enough to just expect you to know what you needed to get done, just like your real job.
No, this isn’t just some weird work simulator. This is a horror game, and this gas station is creepy. The more you play out your nights, the more of the story you unlock, and the weirder things will get. If you read the trophy list and just decide to try to “escape the gas station” by walking out the front door and down the road, this actually becomes very clear right from the start.
The game honestly looks nice and has a nice premise, and for the price tag ( $10 on Steam, I imagine PS5 will be similar at launch), there is plenty of fun to be had. The game is well-liked on Steam, but it admittedly has very few reviews. If you enjoy sim and horror games, this one is worth checking out. It is a 7/10 experience, but it may not be for everyone.
