About the Game

From the developers of “Deadlight,” “RIME,” “The Sexy Brutale” and “The Invisible Hours,” comes “Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son”, a modern-day, comedic story featuring puzzles and branching narrative gameplay. Players take on the role of Phil Connors Jr., the charming but arrogant son of the original film’s protagonist. Returning to his hometown of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Phil Jr. becomes trapped in a time loop just like his father before him. Players will solve puzzles, interact with new and familiar characters, and explore the town as they try to escape the time loop.
