The Rewinder (2021)

An ink-painting-influenced village and a world of spirits give this puzzle adventure a strong basis in Chinese mythology. Investigating memories changes how you understand the people and places before you, making belief part of the puzzle structure. It is a compact choice for someone who wants stories and customs to inform exploration, with dialogue and inventory-style problem solving. The village is fictional, so approach it as a particular folk-inflected mystery rather than an account of all Chinese life.
