Why it matters
The premise puts ordinary night shift chores and graphic violence on the same loop, and the announced choice between obeying and resisting the voice is the whole design: the ending changes with what players do.

Set in 1999 at a gas station along an old mountain pass road in Yamanashi Prefecture, it supports solo play or multiplayer for up to three players working the night shift.
The setting is Sankan Sekiyu, a gas station on an old mountain pass road in Yamanashi Prefecture, in 1999. Players mop floors, restock shelves, clean restrooms, refuel cars, and take coffee or cigarette breaks. Then a voice in their head tells them to kill the customers.
Knives, shotguns, and pistols appear as weapons, and victims' bodies keep visible wounds and reactions. Before dawn, players clean the blood, bury the bodies, and destroy the evidence, then return to the routine. Defying the voice is also possible, and the voice then turns on the player. Dany Rexton, the creator, is not comfortable with horror games, so the horror expression is kept restrained despite the violence.
