New indie horror game The VHS Paradise reminds me why I hated working in customer service

Customer talking to you at the counter.

Working the night shift at an old VHS store located in a dangerous neighborhood is a thankless job. Even having a nice boss who leaves me films to watch after my shifts, the trauma of dealing with the abnormal customers and daunting criminals who rock up to the store on a nightly basis is pushing me to the edge. But despite my anxiety constantly being through the roof, I still have a job to do. 

The VHS Paradise is a new itch.io indie horror game that places players into the shoes of a shopkeeper trying to last the night selling and renting out films to loyal customers. The aim is simple: tend to paying customers and keep an eye out for those who will try to do a runner and steal from the store. But be warned: some of the criminals are more dangerous than others.
