Publisher Gamera Game and developer Misty Mountain Studio have announced their puzzle-adventure game The Rewinder will launch on September 10th.

The Rewinder is a 2D puzzle-adventure game inspired by traditional Chinese folklore. In the game, you will take on the role of the last Rewinder, Qi Yun, who has the ability to travel through time, explore other people’s memories and alter the course of history to help trapped souls come back via reincarnation.

Key features:

• Enjoy stunning pixel art that mimics the aesthetics of Chinese ink paintings’ style and color schemes, while depicting a fantasy world of spirits and monsters.

• Discover rich Chinese folklore and get to meet mythical figures such as the spirit wardens, the ox-head and horse-face guardians of the beyond, and the tudi gong (keeper of the land).

• Experience unique gameplay: besides the classic point-and-click elements, The Rewinder also features original puzzle design mechanics. By utilizing senses collected from the game’s memory world, players can change NPC’s intentions and change history-altering the present in the process.

• Uncover a striking story: be a superpowered detective to travel through different timelines, put the clues together, unravel a mystery, and save the village.

This game brings back fond memories of playing point-and-click adventure games in the early ’90s. Check out The Rewinder on PC via Steam when it launches on September 10!
