Groundhog Day Scenario

Concept »

More commonly known as a "time loop", these games feature events that force the players through the cycle of repeating one (or a few) day(s). This is often presented as the result of time travel or other strange phenomena.

Games with a Time Loop (may contain spoilers):

  • BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - It is revealed through the game's story mode that all the characters have been endlessly repeating the last 100 years due to the merging of characters Ragna and v -13-
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Link is forced to repeat a 3 day cycle (which can be reset at will) in order to stop the moon from colliding with Termina, an alternate version of Hyrule.
    The moon from Majora's Mask.
  • GrimGrimoire - Upon entering a prestigous magic school, the main character, Lillet, finds everyone dead on her fifth day there. Before she dies, however, she is woken up on her first day at the school.
  • Flower, Sun, and Rain - The main character is tasked with disarming a bomb. When he inevitably fails due to being distracted by minor things, he finds himself at the start of the same day.
  • Singularity - Takes place on an island where time constantly shifts. Players encounter some characters who are stuck in an endless time loop.
  • Astro Boy: Omega Factor - Upon finishing the game for the first time, all the robots in the world are destroyed. Players must go through the entire game again and prevent this from happening to see the real ending.
  • Heart of Darkness - The game starts with the main character's death. He (obviously) goes back in time to prevent it from happening.
