- June Dev Update – The Rewinder 2 - 3 July 2025
The beginning of June was tough. A familiar environment changed unexpectedly, so I took a short break to reset—spent some time with family, went on a trip, watched a few films, and revisited some screenwriting books to clear my mind.Mid-month marked the official start of the Rewinder 2 remake.Most of this month was spent reworking the narrative and refining character development. On one hand, the story needs to integrate the newly added rewind dream levels. On the other, we're addressing some long-standing narrative structure issues:The Rewinder 2 has a large cast of NPCs, but many lacked depth, making it hard for players to feel invested in them or their stories.Key world-building elements were introduced too late in the plot, leading to a disjointed experience that felt like a deus ex machina.Some of these problems now have clear solutions; others still need time and iteration.The res…

- A Letter from the Producer of The Rewinder - 30 May 2025
Hello everyone, I’m Xinyu, the producer of The Rewinder. Thank you all so much for purchasing and playing our game. I sincerely apologize for the numerous issues at launch—we failed to deliver an experience that meets your expectations.A major reason for this stems from our initial vision: we aimed for too much, dreamed too big, but lacked the experience to properly execute it.After the first game received widespread praise, I hoped our studio could grow rapidly and push our limits. But the reality is, attempting change and tackling new challenges proved far harder than expected. Due to the team’s inexperience, we cycled through trial and error during development, repeatedly scrapping and reworking ideas, which led to massive resource waste. Players who tried the earlier demo might’ve noticed that the final version already underwent significant changes. Those who joined the beta test a…
