Please please PLEASE add early video games and consoles as an expansion to make it that authentic 90s video store game (Thank you for all the awards 😭)
Should set the standard for job simulators/cozy tycoons. It just feels good; the tiny world has detail and life, you've got customization options out of the box, and the game doesn't feel like it was built using random Unity assets clobbered together. Not to mention despite the low-poly style, its got the most diverse/animated NPC's out of any similar game. Now I miss renting VHS tapes.
Worked in the video store in the early 2000s. This game is more or less the experience. Absolutely love the retro vibe and the calendar/holiday events are really cool. I think this game has a lot of fun little things and touches the devs added that really set it aside from your normal simulator games. Ah, the smell of cheap plastic and popcorn...
