About this game
Siffrin travels with an adventuring group but is alone in knowing that their journey is caught in a time loop. You revisit the same two days, using what you learn to find new puzzle solutions and make different choices in conversations. Progress therefore includes understanding familiar events well enough to approach them differently. Battles use a turn-based rock-paper-scissors system. Memories of companions become equipment that strengthens the party, connecting what Siffrin remembers with preparations for combat. The aim is to find a way out of the repeating situation. The earlier START AGAIN prologue is not required to follow this game.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A time-loop RPG for players who enjoy turning remembered details into new possibilities.
Revisiting events with new knowledge may make observation feel as valuable as combat preparation. Equipping memories gives that theme a mechanical role, while the familiar rock-paper-scissors relationship provides a clear starting point for turn-based decisions.
Strengths
- Using memories both to reconsider events and to strengthen companions can make the loop premise feel connected to play.
Weaknesses
- Players who want constant forward movement through new situations may find revisiting the same days less appealing.
Who it is for: Players who like narrative puzzles, changing interpretations of familiar scenes and turn-based party battles.
Play notes: The story addresses death, mental illness and violence.
