01 The new owner

Your new store comes with an apartment—and a basement full of secrets.

Rewind.
Repair.
Rebuild.

Video rental is booming, the shelves are thin, and a competing chain is happy to take every customer you disappoint. You have thirty days to turn a worn-down Family Home Video franchise into a place Flatwoods wants to visit again.

The real work is listening. Customers may ask for comedy, horror, romance, or action, but the right recommendation depends on the first date tomorrow, the quiet house tonight, or the family movie night somebody is trying to protect.

02 Behind the counter

A store worth saving

Keep the tapes moving.

Stock tapes + snacks

Order movies and concessions, collect returns, watch demand, and make Friday deliveries count.

02 // FHV-OS

Review reports, schedules, members, rentals, inventory, and the catalog from the store computer.

Repair the arcade

Find parts, bring dark machines back online, and give the neighborhood another reason to stay.

Hear Flatwoods

Local music, weather, strange news, dad jokes, ads, and town reports follow the day over the radio.

The business loop becomes a personal one

Bring the arcade
back to life.

Restore cabinets, chase high scores, shoot four themed pinball tables, rack up billiards, and waste a suspicious amount of time on the store computer. The current build’s promo kit captures eighteen distinct game and minigame screens.

The OPEN sign is waiting

Friday night
starts here.

Explore the current browser development build, meet the first regulars, and begin bringing Family Home Video back to life.
