The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gentle, text-based investigation game where you piece together events at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe Rewind as a very short, free murder mystery that takes one to two hours. The art style reminds many of Disco Elysium, but first-time players consistently struggle because there is no tutorial and the clue-combining mechanics are unintuitive. Reviews praise the concept while noting weak localization, a slow walking speed, and logical holes in the case.
