You know how the VHS tape would sometimes tangle up and you'd have to perform a brutal morphoplasty just to watch your favourite movie? At first glance, this game feels like Bri'ish Slopware, but as you unwind it, you realise it's an orchestrated experience arranged with surgical precision. It's easy to make a bad parody. It's easy to make a bad game. But it's really hard to make a good game that feels like a bad parody. I'll paint a picture - it's the 1990s. VCRs are burning off our retinas. Pikachu was just conceived. The Matrix is about to revolutionise cinema. And a 12-year-old boy is cackling uncontrollably over the spoof-parody-name "Sperminator". Comp-3-Interactive took that, froze it in carbonite, and thawed it in 2023. That's Rewind or Die. They made one of the most time-efficient games on Steam. Over the course of 2 hours you'll experience heart-pumping action. Nail-biting fear. Face-hugging laughter. And a figure clad in a pig mask whose vernacular could give Peppa Pig a run for her money. If you want to rewind back to a more hopeful time when the future felt full of promise, this is your chance. There are few better ways to spend 2 hours of your time. Unless you're a CHICKEN. :-)

I had a lot of fun with this game. While not a long game, the story was pretty great for a cheesy horror game. I absolutely adore the art style. I'd recommend picking up on a sale if you can and add it to your spooky selections. 🎃 Spook Meter 🎃 "Here piggy piggy" - (less stressful and more fun)

Most slashers I've played are set in the US, but this one being in the UK was a fun change. I liked the mechanics of the game, the art and design looked great. I couldn't beat the flappy bird game, I may have been too intoxicated.

Ever wonder what it would be like to manage a video rental store while a deranged killer is on the loose? Well, look no further because Rewind or Die is here to fulfill that oddly specific fantasy! This game takes the best of Puppet Combo’s VHS-inspired horror and boils it down into a bite-sized, blood-soaked experience. I mean, who doesn’t love the idea of checking out Jurassic Park for the hundredth time while also trying to avoid becoming someone’s next rental? The gameplay is tight, although nothing to write home about. Go to x location, find Y item, input item, move on. The atmosphere is deliciously retro, and let’s be honest—where else can you get a pixelated slasher experience that wraps up faster than a ‘90s B-movie? There are multiple endings to discover, and if you’re an achievement hunter, you’ll be pleased to know that you can hit 100% in about 3 hours. 3 hours of horror-themed nostalgia, sprinkled with just enough gore to make you consider renewing that Blockbuster membership you never actually had. In short, Rewind or Die is a love letter to low-budget horror, complete with grainy visuals, a killer soundtrack, and more jump scares than a VHS tape with tracking issues. It’s short, sweet, and a bloody good time. If you're a fan of retro PSX style horror, please do yourself the favor of checking this out. 8/10, would rewind... and probably die again.

I've been on a puppet combo rush lately and after playing for the first time Cannibal Abduction (this game is one of my favs and the closest to why I loved Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Glass Staircase (Mid game IMO), Nun Massacre (love the lore), Blood Wash (I wished it was longer, definitely one of the more messed up villain lores), Night in the Gates of Hell and Christmas Massacre on the Xbox. The game is pretty nostalgic of when Blockbuster used to be around with funny references to Titanic, Godfather, Indiana Jones, Toy Story, Halloween and other classic movies as you try to work as a clerk dealing with rude customers, a rude boss, and a killer on the loose. When I first saw the store screenshots I thought the villain for this game would be aggressive but the game is actually more forgiving (there's only one chapter that isn't a scripted chase which involves the most out of memorizing the level layout) and more of a puzzle game with a beginning that involves minor management. Plot is the closest to a B movie horror as you can get and I wanted to know more of the actual setting and minor characters including why the killer became the way he is. I'm also hoping if this store setting is brought back again, it involves more management and freaky shenanigans since it has potential to be really scary. I would say overall to either buy it full price or wait on a sale if you like VHS styled horror. If I had one more critique the chase music could've been improved, it doesn't fit the vibe of being chased at all by a killer. Still loved the concept & game but hoping the next project by the devs will be expanded on better.
