About the Game

Restart Mode is a 2D psychological detective about a single day that keeps rewinding to the beginning. The city is frozen on one day. You try different routes, different words, different actions—until you find the ones that lead to another day. But remember: attempts aren’t infinite, and you’ll need to break the loop as soon as you can. No one knows what will happen if you can’t escape.

Key features:

  • An open world where you relive the same day;

  • Choices with consequences: your words and actions change access, dialogue, and events;

  • An interesting and exciting story;

  • Pixel art: immerse yourself in a stylish retro world.
