I started coming with an idea for a game where you are a guy working a night shift at a convenience store, based on a friend and I hanging out at Fas-Mart late at night drinking coffee and shooting the bull.

I knew he was going to be in dire straits but I drew up a budget to see how bad it would be. Let's assume the guy is living in a small and old rented house and is making $15/hour (untipped minimum wage here is $12.69/hour in 2026, $13.75/hour in 2027, and $15/hour in 2028)
