The Rewinder
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 encounter mythological figures such as the Ghost Guardians, the Guardians of the Afterlife with ox heads and horse faces, and the Tudi Gong (Guardian of the Land). The player takes on the role of Qi Yun, a "rewinder" who has the ability to penetrate people's memories and influence their actions. By using his "senses" and influencing the "intentions" of others, he can change history.
Story
At the request of the spirit guardians, Qi Yun goes to a small village to investigate why a spirit could not be reborn. The once thriving village is deserted and full of angry ghosts who leave a woman alone in the teahouse. Who is she waiting for? Where have all the other villagers gone? What really happened seven years ago?
