Customize your walls and floors, decorate with posters and memorabilia and expand your layout to build the video store of your dreams.

Fill your shelves with thousands of unique VHS tapes, each with their own title, genre and hand-drawn cover art! Order movies on your old PC or buy exclusive bootleg films from the shady Tape Dealer. Each week will have new releases inspired by real iconic movies of the 80s and early 90s.

Reviews
I had quite a blast with Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator, but it quickly became repetitive and grindy, much like the real thing, I'd imagine.
Very cool game and concept, I really like it, however if you're trying to play this on Linux you may get very poor performance. Hopefully someday the performance issues will be fixed, and I'll be able to buy and play it again. Unfortunately have to refund due to this
It's simple, fun, relaxing, and allows customization!
Enjoyable game but does get repetitive quite fast
good but can get repetitive, needs more things to do that isnt just the exact same thing over and over but it is rewarding once progressing. but that can take a long time considering how much of the same thing you have to do. 6/10
Nostalgi
one of best simulator games I ever played. very addictive and fun I love it.
Super Game zum Abschalten.
Retro Rewind is a very good, entertaining little nostalgia machine with an enjoyable gameplay loop. Stocking shelves, serving customers and building up and expanding your store is satisfying, while extras such as popcorn, arcade machines and bootleg videos make it nicely immersive. The main problem is that once you have enough staff, the game starts playing itself while you supervise like a manager who has successfully delegated away his own entertainment. The returns desk also becomes rather tedious, and there probably is not much more than 15–20 hours of meaningful play here. Still, those hours are charming, immersive and well worth having.
Очень интересная штука, сделано с душой и со вкусом. За простой графикой сидит хороший и ненавязчивый геймплей, чисто для расслабления и ностальгического кайфа. Мне нравится, рекомендую.
