Overview
REC:REWIND is a first-person horror adventure from developer そうらい and publisher ANT PLANET, released on November 9, 2026. Set inside an American home, the story follows a husband who has gone missing and the wife who refuses to give up the search. Rather than moving forward, the narrative pulls you backward — deeper and deeper into the past — as you piece together what really happened.
The game sits comfortably among psychological and survival horror, with Steam user tags pointing toward story-rich exploration and a walking-simulator structure. Expect atmosphere, dread, and careful reading of your surroundings over combat.
Highlights
- The "reverse loop" mechanic: playing a videotape draws you into the footage, and finding another tape inside that recording lets you travel even further back — a video within a video.
- Two perspectives: the story unfolds through the eyes of both the missing husband and his searching wife.
- A full set of comfort and accessibility options, including camera comfort settings and custom volume controls, alongside Steam Achievements.
Who It's For
This one is aimed at players who enjoy slow-burn psychological horror, found-footage storytelling, and first-person exploration where the environment itself carries the mystery. If you like unraveling timelines and piecing clues together at your own pace, the nested-tape structure should feel rewarding. Those seeking action-heavy survival horror may find it more contemplative than expected.
