I will have to admit that this game was difficult for me, and I’ll have to describe it as best as I can. The game is about a man who returns some videos, and there is kind of an eighties anime vibe going on. The woman behind the counter is attractive but gets unkind when customers don’t rewind. Anyway, the man has some serious magic realism going on as he gets transported into the movies he’s watching.
The game then becomes playing as two characters, and you have to switch characters to complete the levels. The switching is about rewinding, so you have to plan out your movements beforehand. Man, this is hard to describe, and I don’t know if I can recommend this because I just had a hard time with it.
Generally, I play a game for a little while, but I had a hard time getting into this one. According to the game, a left mouse click should do something, but it doesn’t. The R button makes the rewind happen, but is this how to win the game? In all honesty, I was a little confused.
Perhaps this is why Replay: VHS isn’t dead works, is because it is very different than other games. It has a retro feel as well, which is very popular amongst players. This is a puzzle game, make no mistake about that, and it can be found on Steam now.
