The WhatsNext verdict
Rewind or Die is a colorful, funny, and suitably nasty VHS-horror romp with an unusually good hook and soundtrack. Play it if you enjoy short lo-fi slashers, but expect simple puzzles and a frustrating mid-game chase section.

Retro horror music that keeps the chase scenes alive

The sewer chase can become tedious instead of scary
