There are over 180 Game Boy Camera portraits in the game, as well as 20+ unaltered Game Boy Camera photographs. There are 29 endings, with a playtime of roughly 4-6 hours depending on the choices you make during the story. Links are in my bio, and I'd love to hear what you think! :D

The gas station's register starts glitching out after you install a dodgy update to it.

The gas station's register starts glitching out after you install a dodgy update to it.

I also used actual glitches on the Game Boy hardware to create the glitchy graphics by transitioning between scenes too quickly for the processor to keep up, leading to slightly different graphics depending on which system you play it on.

There are a bunch of different types of mini-games to play throughout the story - from a simulated Point-of-Sale system you ring your customers up with, a quick-paced matching game, turn-based combat, and miniature adventures. You'll never know what's coming next!

The main characters in the game are portrayed by my partner and myself, and the story is based on how we met while working in customer service together during the 2020 quarantines. If you play your cards right, they'll end up dating by the end, and you might even get to see them kiss!

All of the character portraits are photographs taken with a Game Boy Camera: I photographed 20ish models of my friends, family, coworkers, and some inanimate objects to create these graphics.

Hi! I'm Enzi, the developer of Gas Station Story and Pierrot ร  la Mode (and a new secret project). I live in the Pacific Northwest, am a queer/non-binary game dev, screenwriter, and musician, and this is where I'll be sharing progress on all of those projects from here on out!

Yeeesh, okay I'm getting on those right away! Sorry about that again, I know the vaporization ending is not at all the satisfying conclusion you were looking for

Hey thanks for reviewing my game :) I'm really sorry you encountered game breaking bugs, but I'd love to hear more about what happened in your playthrough so I can fix it! Particularly the blank dialogue screen, I'm not sure how that could have happened...
