Hello again, late-shift survivors!
First of all - a huge thank you to everyone who played the demo during Steam Next Fest. Your support, feedback, streams, videos, and general excitement meant the world to us.
🛠️ So… what’s happening now? We’ve been hard at work since Steam Next Fest, and today we’re sharing a first look at some new mechanics coming to Before Exit: Gas Station as development continues.
💼 Development Continues
Release of Before Exit: Supermarked left us with some mechanics that we didn't have time to implement, but we promised ourselfs that we will do it next time. And guess what? We did it! (at least some part of it).
🧽 Mirror Cleaning
We’ve added a new task that feels oddly personal: cleaning a dirty mirror. It’s more than just a quick wipe – some smudges take a bit more effort, and you might not love what you see staring back.
🔧 Tool Polishing
Some tools are old, rusty, and in desperate need of attention – and now it’s your job to make them shine again. Using the grinder, you'll carefully remove rust and restore them to working order. It’s gritty, a little therapeutic… and another reminder that every little task matters when someone’s watching.
🧑🤝🧑 And One More Thing… Multiplayer is Coming!
From the very beginning - even back in our previous project - we thought of bringing multiplayer into the mix. With the second iteration of Before Exit:, we will try to do it, and to do it right. We’re excited to announce that multiplayer is in development. Soon, you won’t be finishing your shift alone. You’ll be sharing the responsibility (and the stress) of closing down the gas station together. Because if there’s one thing scarier than a strict boss... it’s disappointing your teammate while he’s watching, too.
That’s all for now - but we’re just getting started. There’s still plenty of work ahead, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s coming next.
🛠️ Thank you for every playthrough, every message, every kind word.
Stick with us, follow the game on Steam and social media, and stay tuned for more updates soon. The night shift at Before Exit: Gas Station is far from over… and it’s about to get a lot more interesting.
See you after dark. 🌙⛽
