Rewind

Rewind is a life simulation game where players mysteriously die after an all-night work session, embarking on a wondrous adventure. Starting as an infant, players become embroiled in various events and crises, encountering all sorts of good and bad people, elves, and even gods. Making different choices within the story world advances the plot and wins the hearts of girls, unlocking exciting intimate scenes. However, there's also the possibility of dying unexpectedly, thus beginning the next chapter of your journey. Of course, each death grants rewards, allowing for a better start and more favorable circumstances in your next life.

Features of Rewind:

Branching Narrative: Your choices shape the story's outcome, leading to diverse endings.

Turn-Based Combat: Engage in strategic battles with a wide array of enemies and allies.

Animated 3DCG Scenes: Immerse yourself in stunning, animated adult content throughout your adventure.

Echoed Relationships: NPCs retain subliminal memories of your past selves, reacting to “deja vu” choices with fear, obsession, or cult-like devotion.

Hours of gameplay: Despite some elements being partially implemented, the App offers several hours of gameplay, ensuring an immersive and entertaining experience.

Procedural Lifetime Events: AI generates unique societal structures, tech levels, and factions per cycle—medieval kingdoms might embrace blockchain; dystopias worship viral cat videos.  

Changelog:

Additions:

The Affection System is now in place. Interactions will earn the player Affection Points, and certain relationship statuses and events are locked behind these points. Information is available in the hints section of the mirror screen.

Various small scenes have been added as affection milestone rewards.

An additional threesome scene has been added into the poly relationship progression for players using the Dungeon Tent.

Versions of the conversations surrounding Lani's racial curse have been expanded to include the Polyamorous Route.

The Polyamorous Route now includes choice scenes to allow the player to opt in/out of group scenes (in most circumstances).

There's now a pop-up to notify the player of a change in relationship status.

Two new titles have been added: 'Affectionate' and 'Fire Resistance'. You can stir that pot, baby.

Soul Box level 9 has been added (but no new items are in the game, so it's a bit of a slog trying to activate this one... I'll add more items in the next version).

Variations on dialogue have been added for many every-day scenes and story events to account for learned knowledge, affection level, title variations, and romantic continuity.

Mister Bacon.

Changes:

Auto-battle no longer requires a one-turn wait.

The enemy version of Lani (the one you fight in order to party together) now levels up once every 10 days that she is not in your party.

The Settings Menu has been expanded to include animation skip toggles (using the in-game cog button).

Poison and Fire points are now displayed in the general mirror stats window.

Lani can now be recruited without joining the Adventurer Guild first (requires Cat Person level 6).

Event triggers have been modified to make use of the new Affection System, and the hints have been altered to specify when affection points are required.

Added in-battle buff icons for food buffs (defense, attack, crit).

Dungeon rewards are now 'discovered' when chosen, even if the player cannot utilize them.

Food buffs in dungeons now last longer (based on Battle Junky title proficiency).

Alterations in text and menus have been added to facilitate abnormal play-styles (title avoidance, skill avoidance, etc). Go on and break it; I'll forgive you if you tell me how you did it.

Emergency healing in the dungeons now allows the player to choose every possible option and utilizes skill healing calculations to determine heal amount.

Threadbare is now available even if players do not have the money to purchase clothing, and the purchase option has been added to purchase Lani's sundress outside of the date. 

Corrections:

The Dungeon Tent now correctly heals your party after use.

Potions used in battle now count towards Potionista title.

Battles fought while 'wandering' inside dungeons after finding the boss door will now correctly count down the Dungeon Tent timer.

The scheduler now correctly removes viewed threesome events so that the player doesn't get too tired.

Watching Lani climb the tree on the same night that Clarice informs the Palace that you have found the clues no longer skips the palace event.

Corrected an uncommon error that removed learned recipes after a rebirth.

Corrected some calculation errors with attack and defense food buffs.

Some movies were incorrectly named and skipped by the game (Lani's final sneak animations).

Corrected some movies which defaulted to a blank screen after playing once.

A negative money glitch has been corrected.

Cock-a-trice enemies are now correctly counted in the kill lists.

Corrected error that placed the targeting icon over non-existent enemies at the beginning of fights.

Corrected error that caused player characters to be invisible at the beginning of fights.

Corrected a rounding error when Lani is defending magical attacks. Defending no longer gives her negative magic defense.

You are now paid for your patrol work on days when you find a clue.

SO. MANY. TYPOS. 

Gameplay notes: It is important to note that all existing saves will load with no affection points, so story elements and romance options may or may not be blocked for your current life. Once you die, all of those affection and knowledge stats will correct themselves and your playthrough should continue as intended. Again, ALL RECENT SAVES ARE COMPATIBLE. 

Minor changes are peppered throughout this update, but there aren't a significant number of major additions. Instead, I've taken this opportunity to fill in continuity lapses that existed when players did things in an order than wasn't anticipated. The next update will be the last one before I begin work on the Academy... I'll make a post in the coming weeks to elaborate on the plans and timeline expectations for the next version.

Player Comments of Rewind:

Excellent world building. Relatable and likeable characters that are prominent and emotive. Dialogue throughout is consistently hilarious while staying believable (mostly). Artwork detail is fantastic (tiny head dad: hilarious). Conversations with the Deity statues is by far my favorite part of the game.

Really unique game with a good writing and premise. The main draw and drawback of the game is the fact that it's a grinding game, a very well made one, but it's not for everyone. If you enjoy grinding states and getting overpowered with time, it's perfect. It currently lacks some content, but that can be changed with time.

Great take on an incremental RPG idea with timeloops. Seems like ratings so far are very polar haha I guess if you are not a fan of the gameplay it's not too much fun, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. Also looks like a decent amount of content is being added at each update, so I'm guessing some of the earlier reviews may be outdated by now.

While I'm not a huge fan of the character design, the actual art is pretty solid. Most animations and stills are recycled outside of events, so it could use a bit more diversity, but there's so much that has been put into this, that you'll find yourself just playing it for the game.That said, even the events are largely just stills or black screens, and what there are of them, feel lifeless. The NSFW scenes are lackluster, and there's a massive grind to get to anything you might want to see.That said, I've somehow spent several hours getting all of my titles maxed and exploring every inch of potential secrets and unlocking every scene.If you're not afraid of a grind, and have just as much interest in a regular game as you do an H game, it's not as bad as these horny fucks would have you believe.

Final Verdict:

Damn one of the best games mechanics wise, usually pretty bug free too, characters are pretty well written but the world building is where it shines, the gods and all their business is very interesting. Quite grind heavy but not in a bad way in my opinion, regularly feels rewarding like going for certain titles.
