About the Game

April 11 begins like any other Monday. Then it begins again.

Tomorrow promises everything— and guarantees nothing. As time circles back, old fears resurface, unexpected hopes take shape, and something between them begins to change.

What will it take to break the loop— the answer to the mystery, or the courage to face tomorrow?

A Day on Repeat

Lu Zhiyao is an ordinary art student in his final year of high school. One ordinary Monday, time stops moving forward, and every morning brings him back to April 11.

A Puzzle for One

Lu has a future to reach, and no intention of spending eternity on the same Monday. But with no one willing to believe him, he's left searching for way out alone.

An Answer for Two

Just as Lu begins running out of options, he crosses paths with Jiang Wanli, an old friend he first met at a summer art class during their middle-school years.

Back then, Jiang helped Lu with his studies. They see less of each other now with high school keeping them busy, but their friendship remains as strong as ever.

Beyond Today

To Lu’s surprise, Jiang believes him. Together, they search for a way to make time move forward. But the closer they come to the truth, the clearer it becomes that escaping will take more than logic alone.

Can they each find the courage to turn the page and write what comes next?
