Evaluation

Rewind or Die launched on April 14, 2023 as a self-contained horror game set in a 90s VHS rental store. The store description presents a finished product with defined features — two obtainable endings, specific enemy types, puzzles, and unlockables — language consistent with a complete, packaged experience rather than one expecting ongoing additions. The only post-launch developer communication was a single patch on May 7, 2023 (version 1.2.0), which focused on AI behavior improvements, quality-of-life tweaks, and bug fixes. There have been no news posts, DLC listings, roadmaps, or developer statements indicating any future content is planned. The game has no DLC listed on the store. Given the game's self-contained design, the lack of any content cadence beyond a single maintenance patch shortly after launch, and the more than three years of silence since that patch, the game is best understood as a complete, shipped product.

About this game

Rewind or Die is a heart-thumping, blood-dripping blast from the past. Your co-worker flaked out on their shift yet again and it's up to you to cover them. And of course, there's a serial killer who's been staking their claim in that area. Just another day at a video rental store... right?



Deal with irate customers, horrible bosses and keep your VHS store clean (or at least as clean as it can be). Don't worry about the occasional creepy phone call or that person watching you through the front window, it's all part of the job.



Features:
  • UK Setting with a retro throwback to the 90's favorite VHS shop
  • Fully voiced unreliable co-workers!
  • Over the top gore!
  • Crusty, disgusting, blood drenched environments!
  • Taxing and rewarding puzzles, be careful how you solve them...
  • Two obtainable endings.... and secrets?
  • Unique and horrific enemy design!
  • Dark comedic elements!
  • Unlockable character viewer models!



Will you become Slaw's latest victim? Can you survive a dead end day job AND a stalking serial killer? Whatever the case, always remember to be kind and please... REWIND OR DIE!
