Gas station horror games

A lone gas station at night: bright lights over the pumps, a clerk behind the counter, and dark road or forest on every side. In these games you work the till on a late shift, stop to fill the tank on a long drive, or search an empty forecourt for supplies. The fear comes from the strangers who pull in, the shelves you cannot see past, and how far away anyone else is.
