Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 18.71/day in the week to Aug 7 → 26.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Jogo maravilhoso, super casual e divertido. Um jogo para gastar horas do dia e nem perceber quanto tempo passou. Acredito que ainda tem muito conteúdo que vai ser adicionado nas futuras atualizações e que vão trazer melhorias, mais dinamismo e diversão ao jogo. Vale ressaltar que trás uma nostalgia maravilhosa. Seria super legal se tivesse alguma atualização de mais expansão pra loja, e outros tipos de mídia, como os CDs, jogos, revistas... Espero ansioso pelas atualizações!

So gut dass ich es im Nachhinein sogar zum vollen Preis gekauft habe obwohl ich es vorher gecrackt gespielt habe

This is MY comfort game, i dont have a comfort game. I'm 31 years old. I struggle with ADHD and life in general. I love games but as I got older I struggle to be engaged with games. Gaming is all I have. This is the game that helps me relax and chill. It's fun, not hard. Chill. I get the real sense of achievement here. Thank you Blood Pact Studios. If you can make the game but with video games. Instant seller
A really fun and entertaining simulator game. 10/10
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.
Video Store Simulator hat mich von der ersten Minute an begeistert. Die Mischung aus entspannter Shop-Simulation, Management und der nostalgischen Atmosphäre einer klassischen Videothek ist einfach großartig. Es macht unglaublich viel Spaß, die Regale zu organisieren, den Laden auszubauen und immer mehr Kunden zufriedenzustellen. Besonders die Liebe zum Detail fällt sofort auf. Der Laden fühlt sich lebendig an, das Gameplay ist angenehm entschleunigt und trotzdem motiviert einen jede Verbesserung, weiterzuspielen. Die Entwickler haben hier wirklich Herzblut hineingesteckt. Wer Simulatoren liebt oder einfach mal in Erinnerungen an die goldene Zeit der Videotheken schwelgen möchte, sollte dieses Spiel unbedingt ausprobieren. Für mich schon jetzt eines der entspannendsten und gleichzeitig süchtig machendsten Simulationsspiele überhaupt. Klare Empfehlung – Daumen hoch! 👍🎥🍿
Lowkey fulfilling my dream of owning a blockbuster in the 90s. Dream come true, gng. "The Machine In The Velvet Room" is oddly enough, an absolute banger amongst customers. I don't even want to KNOW what's on that thing for it to be constantly rented. Adult film/10
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.
