The Rewinder screenshots

An intro sequence shows how the Rewinders came to exist.

Intro sequence (2)

Intro sequence (3) - indeed quite an emulation of traditional Chinese landscape painting through pixel art.

You can pet the dog in the game. ;)

The Tudi is a minor deity which guards a particular area.

Click "Detail" to see an English translation of Chinese text.

Reed River Village seven years before.

This visual effect appears when you have successfully altered the course of events.

A minigame - finish painting this theatre mask.

Combine these three substances to make gunpowder.

The weaving minigame was rather hard (and it was yet harder to get a screenshot at the same time).

Now we move to Bamboo Brook Village. I celebrated it by brewing myself some bamboo tea...

...I'm a teamaniac and I often look for the right tea for something I eat, but also for example to games I play (such as "Caribbean Sencha" with "Monkey Island").

Line up three red objects (four times).

The legendary Bi Fang bird.

The Taoist ritual seemed a little absurd to me - garbled Latin in a Chinese environment?? But it all makes sense when you learn the further story...

Without spoiling TOO much, let's just say that you play as Light in this level.

Check the notebook regularly - clues are automatically recorded there, as well as cultural details which may be unknown to Western players.

A side quest in this game is collecting twelve flowers (one can be collected only by replaying a memory level with a different solution, which I consider "not exactly in one playthrough").

Light means some grotesque figures at the Ghost Market.

Notice the bottom of the screen - I love the effect of reflections in moving water, and the game has a lot of it.

The ritual to save Yun.

Suspended between life and death, Yun meets his father.

Villagers are fighting the monster spiders.

Some of these stones are shaped like animals. Haven't we heard a clue for that early in the game?...

A magic square type of puzzle (arrange the pebbles to have the same number in each row, column and diagonal).

Another flower from the side quest.

The final, short memory level, accessible by finding all plants for the Tree Sage.
