If you’ve spent any time cleaning sand off the floors of Gas Station Simulator, you probably have a few questions about the “Uncle.” You know, the guy who sends you shady emails and seems to have a history that would make a private investigator sweat?
Well, DRAGO Entertainment just pulled back the curtain. Announced in early February 2026, Roadhouse Simulator is officially coming to Steam, and it’s trading the squeegees for brass knuckles.
Here is everything we know about the prequel that takes us back to the rough-and-tumble roots of Route 66.
The Origin Story: Who is the Uncle?
Set years before the events of Gas Station Simulator, you play as the Uncle in his younger days. Before he was a legendary (and slightly suspicious) business mentor, he was just a guy trying to survive the lawless stretches of the American highway.
You don’t start at the top. You start as a bouncer at a run-down roadhouse. Your mission? Work your way up from muscle to manager, and eventually, the owner of the entire territory.
Key Gameplay Pillars
- Combat is King: Unlike the relatively peaceful life of pumping gas, this roadhouse is a magnet for trouble. You’ll engage in first-person hand-to-hand combat to break up bar fights and deal with unruly patrons.
- The Grill and the Bar: You’ll need to master the kitchen and keep the drinks flowing. Happy customers spend more, but intoxicated ones might start a riot—it’s a delicate balance.
- Territory & Influence: You aren’t just managing a building; you’re managing a reputation. You’ll deal with rival biker gangs, making “shady deals” to secure alternative supply sources or expand your reach.
- The Law: The local Sheriff is always watching. Whether he’s tipped off by a snitching patron or just doing a random inspection, you’ll need to keep your “less reputable” activities under wraps to avoid fines or shutdowns.
Why Fans of Gas Station Simulator Should Care
DRAGO Entertainment has mastered the “satisfying jank” of the simulation genre. If you enjoyed the loop of renovating, upgrading, and micro-managing in their previous titles, Roadhouse Simulator looks to evolve that formula with a much darker, grittier tone.

Managing Chaos: The “Biker” Factor
The most intriguing part of the announcement is the interaction with biker gangs. In the roadhouse, these aren’t just customers; they are a gameplay mechanic. You can choose to work with them for profit, but doing so increases the heat from the law. You’ll need to keep a healthy stock of spare furniture—because in a roadhouse, chairs and tables are essentially “consumables” that get smashed during fights.
“Your beginnings will be rather humble… sometimes you will need to get your hands dirty as getting into a fight might be the only way to prevent a bigger fight.” — Official Game Description
Final Thoughts
Roadhouse Simulator feels like the natural evolution of the “Gas Station-verse.” It’s less about the mundane tasks of maintenance and more about the high-stakes management of a business on the edge of the law.
If you’ve ever wanted to throw a chair at a rowdy biker and then immediately serve him a burger, this is the game for you.
