About the Game
The Rewinder is a 2D puzzle adventure game inspired by traditional Chinese folklore.
The game uses pixel art to mimic the aesthetics of Chinese ink paintings. Players will get to meet mythological figures such as the Spirit Wardens, the Ox-head and Horse-face Guardians of the Beyond, and the Tudi Gong (Keeper of the Land).
The player takes on the role of Yun, a "rewinder" who has the ability to enter people's memories and influence their actions. By utilizing "senses" and swaying others' "intentions", he can change history.
At the request of the Spirit Wardens, Yun goes to a small village to investigate why a spirit couldn't be reincarnated. The once thriving village has been deserted and filled with resentful spirits, leaving one woman alone in the teahouse. Who's she waiting for? Where did all the other villagers go? What really happened seven years ago?

The pros: beautiful art-style, soundtrack, etc. Core concept is a neat idea, and the setting is certainly original. The cons: it's... really dull. Like, I'm not sure quite why but I couldn't get into the story at all.

The Rewinder was…. fine I guess. It's a pretty short puzzle game that revolves around rewinding to an earlier point in time and trying to influence the actions of people there by manipulating their thoughts. Beyond

A neat puzzler inspired by Chinese mythology. The story is compact yet complete, and the character development is handled well within a relatively short gameplay time (around 5 hours). The best feature of this game is

5/10 -> then I don't recommend it for non-Chinese players. The good side of this game is its visual and sound design. Very unique style - They are inspired by Chinese mythology but at the same time it is pixel style, so
