→Synopsis
[[Conway]], a truck driver, works as a delivery man for an antique shop owned by a woman named [[Lysette]]. Conway's last job before retirement is to make a delivery to [[5 Dogwood Drive]]. The game opens with Conway, together with his dog, pulling into the parking lot of a dimly-lit gas station, [[Equus Oils]]. He meets [[Joseph]], the owner, sitting outside in a Queen Anne armchair. Joseph and Conway talk about a nearby truck accident with whiskey bottles broken all over the highway, and gives Conway's [[dog]] some jerky, who he optionally names either Blue or Homer.
Conway mentions his delivery to make on [[Dogwood Drive]], to which Joseph says he must take the mysterious [[Route Zero|Route {{Zero}}]]. Joseph tasks Conway to fix the circuit breaker to restore power to the station so that he may use the computer to locate directions. In the basement of the horse-shaped station, Conway encounters [[Emily, Ben, and Bob]] who are playing a tabletop game and inadvertently blocking his path. They ignore him, apparently unable to see or hear him. Overhearing that they've lost a glow-in-the-dark [[D20|twenty-sided die]], Conway manages to find it with the lantern turned off. When he returns, the three players have disappeared. Conway reaches the breaker box, restores the gas station's electricity, and returns outside. When he asks Joseph about the strange people, Joseph suggests Conway may have been hallucinating. Conway uses the computer to find directions to the [[Márquez Farmhouse]], where he is told he can talk to [[Weaver Márquez]] who has a better understanding of the roads. He also reads an email from [[Consolidated Power Company|Consolidated Power Co.]] who has sent Equus Oils a 14-day overdue notice. As Conway leaves, Joseph tells him that he loaded Weaver's old TV into the back of his truck to take to her.
