What is Empty Gauge?

A first-person psychological horror game spanning three days between a remote gas station and your home. You run the register, restock shelves, clean, and refuel customers, then investigate clues at home as nightmares begin intruding on reality. Your choices and discoveries determine which of three endings you reach.

Does Empty Gauge use AI-generated content?

Yes. The developers disclose AI-generated content on the game's Steam page:

During development, we used AI-assisted tools in a limited way to explore/promote content: (1) some store capsule artwork, (2) certain in-game icons, and (3) draft variations of dialogue and story beats. All final assets were human-reviewed and edited for originality, style consistency, and IP compliance. The game does not use live generative AI at runtime or connect to AI services during play.
