What would a world without gas stations even look like? Dead cars as far as the eye can see, dogs and cats living together... It would be complete anarchy! Well, The Last Gas Station from Alawar dares to imagine just such a brave new world. That world just got a little less lonely because the game has been updated with 2-player online co-op. The station is open right now on Steam.
Official description:
You are the new owner of an old gas station and a cozy little store next to it. The previous owner disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and now it is your turn to maintain order here.
Grow your business: clear out the trash, organize the space, set up trade, order goods, set prices, work the cash register and monitor the fuel levels. Turn the old ruin into a beacon for travelers stuck in time!
But no matter what happens, do not go out at night unless you want to share the fate of the previous owner.
Co-op Mode details:
Play together online with a friend! Invite your Steam friend to your save file and pick up where you left off. Serve the customers and follow the story together, all while picking different outfits on the clothing rack in the bedroom.
Several starter skins are available right away, with more unlocking as you progress through the game.
Please note: both players must own a copy of the game on Steam.
Shame about the lack of Remote Play Together support, but this still looks like a pretty interesting game. Surely it's more fun than actually working at a gas station. "The worst part is: I wasn't even supposed to be here today!"
The Last Gas Station costs $13.99 on Steam. To celebrate the co-op update, it's on sale for half off until Tuesday, September 29. Buy it and get that gas pumping, clerks!
