This sweet new PC indie game is a Steam top seller, and a blast from the past — it's a wonderful '90s nostalgia trip, and on sale for launch too

We — as in, both the gaming media and the wider player community — so often focus all of our headlines and attention on big AAA landmark releases, but I firmly believe it's important to zero in on the indie gems when they come around, too. Valve's PC gaming storefront Steam is a platform with plenty, and one new game in particular is making big waves on it.

That game is Retro Rewind, a charming shop simulator from Blood Pact Studios — a small team of two independent Canadian devs aiming to give their fans an experience that allows them to "relive the golden ages of video rentals." Indeed, Retro Rewind is all about running a video store straight out of the '90s, and it's already captured the hearts of thousands just one day after launch.
