About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Relive the golden ages of video rentals by opening your very own video store. Rent, sell, organize and build your business from the ground up. Hire staff, manage your team and become the best rental destination in town!

From taking reservations and charging late fees to recommending movies and preparing delicious snacks, there’s never a dull moment when running your store!

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.

AdditionalGame Features:

Build Your Dream Team: Hire staff to give you a hand on daily tasks to run your store.
Manage Your Returns: Add returned movies in the system, rewind tapes and set aside reserved movies for your customers.
Charge Late & Broken Fees: Track late and damaged returns and deal with different customer reactions and complaints.
Evolving Customer Interactions: Seasons, weather and holidays affect gameplay and what your customers rent! Be ready, rainy Friday nights are crazy busy in the store!
Seasons & Festivals: Play through all four seasons as the environment transforms around you. Each season features special holidays and festivals, all brought to life with unique artwork!
Share Movies With Your Friends: Every movie can be ordered on your PC with a unique code that you can share with your friends!
