Fight the Streaming Tide in Rewind 99: A Retail Sim with a VHS Soul

Rewind 99 drops you into a world that forgot tapes. Manage a 90s VHS store competing against RentNet—a retrofitted streaming service—while juggling inventory, staff, and co-op play. The game’s description promises: "The better your store does, the weirder things get."

Gunmetal Games’ roadmap includes two years of updates starting March 2026. Players can expect map expansions, side hustles like fight clubs and movie splicing, and new customer networks.

The 90s aesthetic drives mechanics: scratch cards, arcade machines, and inventory quirks are literal systems, not thematic flourishes.

Early access will deliver "substantial content updates" per the developer. No mention of broader trends—just a VHS soul battling digital encroachment through literal 90s-era side gigs.
