“「余音绕梁音犹在，浮生逆梦亿无穷」
云山小雨工作室制作的一款国产神话志怪风格的2D解谜游戏。精细的像素风搭配传统水墨画的结合展示出了一股独特的中式魅力，游戏中出现的人物，鬼怪传说与传统物品于一个个细微之处展现了传统文化。音乐独具中国韵味而难忘。解谜丰富，逆梦玩法新颖，人物剧情都为上乘之作，力荐。
玉盘散流光，曲音绕庭梁。
浮生多轮回，无由追过往。
旧时一梦里，前路来时明。
我欲随我心，唯闻曲中意。”

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?
