In a near-future world where highways dominate commerce, you inherit a derelict rest stop from your estranged aunt—a former trucker who vanished under mysterious circumstances. The Transcontinental Highway Network is now controlled by PitStop Corp, a monopolistic conglomerate squeezing small operators into oblivion. As travelers and rebels seek refuge from corporate drones, your rest stop becomes a battleground of survival and subterfuge. Unearth hidden blueprints in the abandoned diner, decode your aunt’s cryptic journals, and outwit PitStop’s sabotage campaigns. Will you build a sanctuary for the road-weary, or sell out to become another cog in the corporate machine?
Gameplay
1. Dynamic Client Ecosystem – Cater to evolving traveler types: Nomad Hackers demand encrypted Wi-Fi hubs, Eco-Runners boycott non-solar facilities, and Smuggler Truckers pay premium for hidden storage units. Mismatched services trigger protests or raids.
2. Sabotage Mitigation – Counter PitStop’s attacks: hire bouncers to block corporate spies, or let hackers infiltrate your systems to plant false data, confusing rivals.
3. Nostalgia Upgrades – Restore retro amenities (vinyl jukeboxes, analog gas pumps) to attract older clients who share rumors about your aunt’s disappearance, unlocking secret expansions.
Key Features
1. Highway Weather System – Sandstorms divert convoys to your stop, doubling revenue but straining resources. Ice storms require heated walkways—neglect them, and lawsuits drain funds.
2. Loyalty Underground – Rebel truckers share black-market upgrades if you host their meetups. Betray them to PitStop for instant cash, but lose access to rare clients.
3. Aunt’s Legacy Quests – Solve environmental puzzles (e.g., aligning solar panels to shadow-map coordinates) to uncover her stashed gold reserves or prototype tech.
Pro Tips
1. The 5 AM Rush – Prioritize coffee stations and restroom upgrades before dawn—exhausted overnight drivers tip generously if their needs are met swiftly.
2. Smuggler’s Tax – Dedicate 10% of storage space to illicit goods; this placates trucker gangs and unlocks armored convoys as security.
3. Corpo Trap – Let PitStop “discover” a fake expansion plan (e.g., a toxic fuel depot). They’ll waste resources blocking it, giving you time to develop the real project.
