🤝 Rest Area Simulator can be enjoyed solo or with up to 4 friends. Share tasks, manage different businesses, and tackle crises together. Good coordination will take your operations to the next level!
🌤 Operate your facility in various weather conditions such as clear skies, fog, and storms.
🕰️ Your facility opens in the morning, visitors arrive throughout the day, shop, and interact with the environment. At the end of the day, businesses close, and you prepare for the next.
🚶♂️🚶♀️ Visitors arrive by car or metro, walk around the rest area, sit on benches, chat, or shop. Each visitor follows their own unique routine.
🌟 Clean the floors and walls, collect trash, fix breakdowns, don’t keep customers waiting too long, and keep each business's reputation score high. High-reputation businesses attract more customers.
⚖️ Product purchase prices change depending on the buying and selling activity at your facility. A product bought in bulk may become more expensive or yield less profit. You must strategically manage both your business and the economy.
🛠️ Gain experience through tasks like customer service, cleaning, and product management to level up. Leveling up allows you to acquire sales licenses for new products and purchase new businesses like supermarkets and car washes.
👷♂️ If the workload is too much, hire staff and take it easy.
⚙️Each business has its own unique upgrades: Buy new pumps, order security cameras, invest in a generator to stay open even during bad weather.
💸 Not every profit has to be honest. With the Illicit Profit System, you can take risks to earn more money.
💧 Watering down fuel
💰 Charging customers unfairly
⛽ Give more fuel than requested
But beware: random inspections and customer reactions may turn those extra profits into big fines or reputation loss. Will you play it safe, or gamble for quick cash?
Every day brings a different story at the rest area:
⚡ Heavy rains can cause power outages — no problem if you have a generator.
📉 Economic fluctuations can reverse product prices.
🔧 Unexpected malfunctions will test your resource management.
No day is the same at Oriseus Rest Area.
