The Rewinder - A Review
I remember being interested in this game solely based on the beauty of its visuals, initially. The pixelated art re-creating the aesthetics of Chinese ink paintings was extremely appealing to my eyes.
The game has a solid narrative structure and often dives into great detail about a lot of aspects and historical elements to build its world. As you progress, it helps the player build a bond and connection with the present characters, their plight and individual journey.
At first, I didn’t think I’d connect to the extent that I did, which was quite surprising and pleasant.
The game has a lot of interesting puzzle pieces that the player is required to solve in order to advance. Each of these puzzles have very specific mechanisms behind them and demands patience on the player’s part to proceed. The advantage is that the game will provide you support and a bit of guidance on how you could solve them. Trust me, the patience is worth it and solving them feels extremely rewarding. I’d advice sitting with a notebook and pen to solve them since noting down details will help you to remember details and thus, solve with ease.
It’s also an aspect I personally enjoyed because it made me nostalgic in association to taking me back to high school days of solving logic based math problems to arrive at appropriate solutions. Nice touch but far more creative.
Though, the game goes into great detail, I would prefer to dive even deeper since the plot points and lore fascinated me to no end. I’m trying not to be specific since I don’t want to touch upon the spoilers, but I have a feeling there’s more to come and I can’t wait for it. Super stoked for it.
I’m glad I decided to invest in this game, it’s been a positive experience and I look forward to exploring more of its beauty ahead.
