Powell, Wyoming. 2010. It's closing night at Be Kind, Rewind, your beloved little video rental store. The last customer has left, the shelves are nearly empty, and you're ready to lock up for the final time.

Then two strange lights lure you into the back room.

When you emerge, the store is abandoned, the colorful mural of Hollywood movie stars outside has faded, and your car is nowhere to be found.

It's 2026. You've been missing for sixteen years, but you haven't aged a day.

Your disappearance has become a local mystery, and the abandoned store is rumored to be haunted. Now that you're back, what will you do? Investigate the rumors? Find the people you left behind? Reclaim your store? Or start an entirely new life?

The world moved on without you.

If only you could be kind and rewind.
