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 Qi 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.

Cool Story, Ugh Math
I thought the story sounded interesting and the visuals were kind of a nice 2D sprite thing. I knew it was a puzzle game.
What I did not know was most of the puzzles were math problems. I am bad at math. I did not sweat it and just looked up answers when I got stuck because I did not feel like wasting too much time on this game trying to figure shit out, I just wanted to move out.
I am undoubtedly a dim bulb but I just wanted to warn anyone else going in this is not a point-and-click but more like a more obtuse and more opaque Professor Layton. I actually love Layton series but this feels less hand-holding in (for me) a bad way,
