Hi there, video store entrepreneurs!

It’s been a little over a month since our last update, and we’re back with more exciting post-launch content! Our current goal is to focus on rolling out individual features and various content as we work toward the major video game update coming in a few months.

Let’s dive in today's patch notes!

System Rentals

Starting today, your video stores can now rent out VHS players!

Once you reach the required player level, you'll be able to unlock the System Rental Shelf located in the backstore. Order VHS players from the Catalogue, place them on the shelf and customers will ask to rent them out at the help desk. When a VHS player is returned, be sure to test it at the Testing Station. Like your movies, not all customers will handle your equipment with care and no one wants to rent out a broken machine! Oh, and no... you can’t rent out VCR machines. We wouldn’t want customers recording the tapes they rent, now would we?

Psssst! Just letting you know... the System Rental feature will also support gaming console rentals in the future, once the Video Game update arrives! Stay tuned!

4 New Store Levels & Extra Decorations!

With this new patch, we’ve expanded the Store Level Unlock board in the office!

We’ve added four new player levels, each packed with exciting unlocks: the System Rental feature, a toy shelf for selling awesome 90s collectibles, a packaged concession shelf and a retro pinball machine to go along with your arcade collection. We’re also planning to continue expanding the level system with future content updates, bringing even more unlocks as the game evolves.

We've also added more decorations! The new additions include ceiling fans, large rugs and an awesome new arcade machine!

4 New Releases Added!

It wouldn’t be a Retro Rewind content update without new movie releases!

Four new films have been added to the game. Can you guess what they are???

Community Highlights

As always, we love seeing how our players organize and decorate their shops. The attention to detail is truly impressive!

What better way to finish this Steam news letter with a small compilation of some of the best images and mods we’ve seen recently. Enjoy!

MODS

While we encourage players to create mods, we unfortunately can’t provide direct support for them. That said, new updates may occasionally cause issues or crashes when mods are installed. If you encounter any issues, such as a Fatal Crash error, you can switch to the RepairStationBuild branch. This is a special version of the game that does not receive updates and allows you to continue playing on version 2198.

Here are a few images from the modding community showcasing some assets and artwork not included in the original game. It’s always cool to see how engaged the Retro Rewind players are!
