Developed by Blood Pact Studios

Retro Rewind is a 2026 shopkeeper simulation video game released by Blood Pact Studios on Steam for Windows computers. Set in the 1990s, the game lets players run a virtual video store that rents movies and media content. Players manage tasks like ordering inventory, stocking shelves, renting titles, restocking items, and rewinding returned VHS tapes. Additional activities include selling snacks such as popcorn and slushies. New features and mini-games are unlocked as the player advances through levels.

The game launched on March 17, 2026 and quickly reached 100,000 copies sold, marking a rare achievement noted by multiple news outlets. Some attributed its success to nostalgia for the now-defunct video rental industry. Retro Rewind uses a cartoon art style, with the virtual store designed to resemble Blockbuster. The game includes 14,000 fictional movies that players can stock and manage.
