The rewinder platforms
Some of the puzzles do require timing and coordination, such as the spinning wheel. I particularly enjoyed the lever scale puzzle. While dialogue text is sometimes presented as options that the player can select, as far as I can tell the choices don’t actually change the game’s ending or even influence flavor.Īlthough certain aspects of the gameplay and mechanics will be familiar to point-and-click players, I found several of the puzzles innovative in their clever use of math, computational thinking, and logic.
Relevant clues and information are collected in a journal log and gallery. Some of the tools are common to point-and-click games, such as the pickaxe and lighter, while others are unique, such as the pipa (a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument). Icons indicate what actions can be performed with objects, such as a question icon for information or flavor text, hand icon to pick up inventory items or tools, speech bubbles for chatting, and arrows to indicate directions of doors and paths. Some features of the gameplay and mechanics are typical of the point-and-click genre. The player acts as Yun during the majority of the game, although there is one part where the player acts as Light. Enter memories to help the resentful ghosts of Reed River Village. With the aid of the spirit Light, he is tasked with investigating and solving the mystery of what happened in Reed River Village seven years ago. In this universe deeply rooted in Chinese mythology and folklore, Yun is the last of the Rewinders. Centuries ago, the Four Keepers granted a select few the ability of Rewind, entering and influencing memories to alter the timeline as needed to maintain the Reincarnation Cycle.
