KING of TAPES

We're actively working on this game - see our latest devlog entry here

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live in the golden age of video? Are you tired of the perfect convenience of Netflix? Would you like to own an extensive collection of movies on physical media?

Let's rewind time and go back to the age of VHS cassettes!

You have just scored your dream job in a video tape rental store. Ensure the smooth operation of the store by keeping the shelves well stocked and customers happy. 

Unfortunately the previous employee managed the store poorly. Many of the tapes are in the wrong place, making it difficult for customers to find what they're looking for!

It's up to you to restock the shelves, rewind the returned tapes, and make sure the store remains profitable - while making sure you remember to feed yourself, or you might just starve to death...

KING of TAPES is a humorous first-person management/survival simulation based on managing a video rental store

• Serve a variety of customers who come to you for their entertainment demands
• Manage your store's inventory - Nearly infinite procedurally generated video tapes
• Sit down and enjoy a fizzy drink and a tasty snack in the break room
• But don't take too long, as the customers will grow impatient!

Do you have what it takes to build the next video rental empire... can you become... the KING of TAPES?
