Description
Rewind: A Looping Odyssey of Love, Loss, and Forbidden Pleasures
Sprinting Cucumber’s Rewind isn’t your typical reincarnation story. It throws you into a bizarre cosmic treadmill, where death becomes a mere pitstop on a grand, erotic adventure. You begin as a weary programmer, finally leaving the office after a nightmarish coding session. But a chance encounter with a passionate display of affection sets off a chain of events that defy logic. You die, only to be reborn – not as a wise old soul, but as a helpless infant.
Rewind presents a unique twist on the concept of rebirth. Each life cycle is a microcosm, a chance to explore a vibrant world filled with diverse characters and experiences. As you grow, you encounter a menagerie of beings – kind-hearted villagers, cunning merchants, catfolk with an insatiable curiosity, and even deities with questionable motives. Each interaction shapes your journey, leaving a mark on your soul that carries over to your next life.
But Rewind isn’t just about exploration. It’s a game that revels in the sensuality of life, in all its messy, glorious forms. You’ll encounter forbidden romances, explore polyamorous relationships, and even find yourself entangled with the occasional talking chicken (who may or may not be a tyrannical ruler in disguise).
The key gameplay mechanic lies in the concept of “rewind points.” Through your experiences, you gather memories, both mundane and erotic. These memories not only shape your character but also serve as a currency to unlock hidden paths and skills in subsequent lives. Do you choose to focus on building a loving family, unlocking nurturing abilities that will benefit future generations? Or do you pursue a life of carnal pleasure, collecting memories that grant an edge in seduction techniques?
The frustrating goddess who presides over this twisted cycle throws another wrench into the mix. Her motives are shrouded in mystery, and her capricious nature throws up unexpected challenges along your path. Will you appease her whims in the hope of breaking free from this eternal loop? Or will you defy her, forging your own path in this ever-rewinding world?
Rewind is a quirky, thought-provoking exploration of life, death, and the spectrum of human (and not-so-human) desire. It’s a game that will make you laugh, cry, and question the very nature of existence – all while providing a healthy dose of erotic adventure.
Are you ready to embark on the ultimate looping odyssey? Dive into the world of Rewind and experience a lifetime (or a dozen) of love, loss, forbidden pleasure, and the ever-present urge to defy the system. Who knows, maybe this time you can finally escape the cycle – or perhaps you’ll find a way to make the most of eternity.

v0.2.2 (Public)
– Additional God has been added. To access, you must have more than one item in your inventory, and then go to sleep (it’s not intended to be a hard thing to accomplish).

Known Issues with v0.2:
