DLC - Root of Evil is out now!English update next week

Dear Rewinders,

First of all, we want to thank you for your support. It's been almost 5 months since we launched The Rewinder, and we are so grateful to every one of you that bought, played and reviewed our game.

Since the launch, we've been hard at work making our DLC "Root of Evil", to be released today!

Unfortunately, because of some adjustments we had to make, we need to delay the English launch for the DLC for a few days.

We sincerely apologize for the delay in English localization. The Rewinder is inspired by the stories and mythologies we grew up with, and we hope to share it with people across the globe. It's been a challenge but also a fun experience trying to come up with terms to explain Taoist mythologies in English. That's why we want to spend more time and care to make sure the English version is easy to understand and fully polished.

The localization team are hard at work, and we are planning to patch the English version next week. We will inform you via annoucement once ready. Meanwhile, you can buy "The Rewinder" (-30% off) and the OST (-50% off) at a new historically low discount. So if you are interested, you can buy the fully localized base game now and wait for the DLC English update!

Once again, we are sorry for the delay, and thank you for supporting The Rewinder!

DLC is coming on March 11th

Dear Rewinders!

We have some great news to share today:

Our DLC, Root of Evil, is coming on March 11th. It's a brand new story about the adventures of Mont, Yun's father.

In this new DLC, we tried to bring new experiences. This includes:
higher degree of freedom in the memory level;
multiple endings that encourages exploration;
unique puzzle-combat elements.

During the DLC launch, the base game and the OST will also go into discount - at our lowest price ever! So it's a great chance to grab it if you are new to the Rewinder, or want to gift it to a friend.

Lastly, we want to thank you for all the support and comments over the last six months! We hope you will enjoy the DLC!

1.27.0 English localization update & other patch notes

A major localization update! We asked a native speaker to polish all English texts: Major thanks to Dana who did tons of edits, obsessed over typos and display issues, and wrote some brand-new poems for the flower hints!
