The pixelated graphics and 2D setting definitely give this an old-school feel, but The Rewinder is a relatively new game. While not overly gory (thanks to the animation style), the game definitely knows how to build the creepy supernatural vibes, perfect for Halloween gaming. There is a shroud over the village, hiding the many mythological creatures who have become entwined with the people. Qi Yun’s task is to visit a cursed village in the land of the living and solve the mystery behind some mysterious disappearances. This is possible by exploring other people’s memories to alter the past-really helpful during the puzzle-solving elements of the game when you find an essential clue AFTER finding the puzzle. You are a special “agent” who has traveled through time to help the spirits of the dead fulfill their duty and be reborn from the Underworld. You play as Qi Yun, the last known Rewinder. Everything from the story to the art and the puzzles are connected with legends of the afterlife and what we need to travel safely there. It is filled with Chinese mythology, drawing inspiration from Taoism and folklore. The Rewinder is a 2D side-scrolling point-and-click puzzle game. Imagine you had the power to travel back through time, through memories, and work your magic on a bit of fortune-telling of your own? Maybe even prevent unnecessary deaths? Day 10 of our Halloween Game Reviews introduces The Rewinder, a game with the power to do exactly that. Halloween folklore is filled with memories, fortune-telling, and magic.
