About This Game

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.

Work the Night Shift

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

Return Home and Search for Clues

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.

Nightmares Bleed Into Reality

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.

Three Endings

Your choices and the clues you uncover will determine how the story ends.
