Rewind Or Die

Found this one to just be okay. It's far cheesier than similar games like Murder House, Stay Out of the House, and Skinfreak, but the gameplay is much more linear like Bloodwash. There isn't much in the way of a challenge other than a few tedious puzzles. Also, why are sewer sections in horror games so often not fun at all? It was easily the most convoluted and annoying section of the game to play. That being said, the retro aesthetic is fun, albeit the humor and tone isn't really my thing. The killer is pretty cool though and I found the protagonist to be an entertainingly goofy character. It mostly just feels like a watered down version of similar games like the aforementioned Murder House and Stay Out of the House. Still not terrible by any means, though. I think it's a good entry point to get a feel for this kind of gameplay before hopping into something more difficult and intricate.

Rewind Or Die takes the familiar slasher formula and places it somewhere unexpectedly effective: a miserable late-night shift at a VHS rental store.

The opening establishes that tone particularly well. The protagonist is forced to cover a shift after an unreliable co-worker fails to show up, leaving the player to handle customers, clean the store, and deal with an unpleasant boss. These tasks initially seem almost too ordinary for a horror game, but that normality gives the later events considerably more impact. Strange calls, suspicious activity outside the store, and the uncomfortable feeling of being watched gradually undermine the routine. Instead of immediately flooding the screen with monsters and gore, the game gives players enough time to become familiar with their surroundi…

Captain/10.

a retro horror style horror game but finally one that takes place in good ol UK

I enjoyed this game very much. Sometimes [spoiler] looking for certain object or labyrinth running [/spoiler] could be frustrating, but not that much for the game to lose the appeal.
