“2D像素中华水墨风的解密游戏。玩家通过在如同画卷般的世界中不断探索和解密,来推进剧情,挖掘故事的真相。游戏的美术风格令人印象深刻,虽然简单但是却不简陋,还能体现出中国文化中的独特水墨风情。BGM也能和游戏相得益彰,并且由多种中国来演奏。如果你喜欢水墨风,又喜爱解密,那花上这样一个价格来品味这样一个故事,我想会是个不错的选择。”

About This 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?
