Video Nightz

Video Nightz... a video game about a video store set in 1999!

It’s 1999 and Y2K is upon us. You are the owner of an independent video store that a corporation is eyeing off to purchase. Help your customers find the perfect video by listening to their stories and decide what the future is for your video store.

A satirical look at the lives, interests and subcultures at the turn of the 21st century.

Video Nightz is a feature-length visual novel-style game, taking influences from Interactive Fiction, Store Simulators, and Point & Click Adventures.

Note: This game is all about talking and recommending (not a store management/simulation).
