About The Rewinder
The Rewinder is a 2D puzzle adventure inspired by traditional Chinese folklore. You play as Yun, a “rewinder” who can enter people’s memories and influence their actions. By using senses and swaying intentions, you can change history.
Investigate the village
At the request of the Spirit Wardens, Yun travels to a small village to find out why a spirit could not be reincarnated. The once-thriving village now stands deserted and is filled with resentful spirits, while one woman remains alone in the teahouse. Yun’s investigation raises questions about who she is waiting for, where the villagers went and what happened seven years ago.
Folklore and art
The game uses pixel art to evoke the look of Chinese ink paintings. Yun encounters mythological figures including the Spirit Wardens, the Ox-head and Horse-face Guardians of the Beyond, and the Tudi Gong (Keeper of the Land).
