Repeat : Return : Reprise is a choice-based interactive fiction game about time loops, otherworldly horror, and good enough being good enough.

I've added the ink file as a playable html file, but you can download the full godot project for Windows if you want.

It's the third in a series of games made in a week, though this technically took two weeks because an emergency prevented me from getting anything done immediately after I started. 

Whatever, this ain't a game jam.

Content warning: Graphic violence

Contains no:

  • Proofreading
  • Art
  • Sound
  • Undo or Rollback
  • Saving and Loading

It's possible to get a bad ending and the only real recourse is to start over. Time loops, right? Ah ha ha.

Given sufficient interest I'll make an expanded version that includes:

  • 3-4 times as much content
  • Actual proofreading and re-writing
  • Pixel art illustrations
  • A mysterious sound-track
  • Satisfying clicks when you pick options
  • Saving and Loading

Or maybe I'll just remake it in Twine or team up with an artist and turn it into a visual novel, I don't know. Just let me know what you think in the comments.

This was really fun! I'm obsessed with time loop games/stories, and I really enjoyed this one. I especially enjoyed the tension of deciding whether to stay and watch or to reset the loop.

In June I will be making an expanded version of one of May's games, possibly this one. My patreon supporters will be able to vote on which one moves forward.
