This document proposes a video game based on the movie Groundhog Day. In the game, the player's character is trapped in a time loop where they repeatedly wake up and live the same day over and over. As the player progresses through each repeated day, they learn more about the game world and how to interact with and affect other characters. The goal is to utilize this growing knowledge and awareness to ultimately help others and "win" the game. Gameplay is focused on social interactions and personal growth rather than traditional action/adventure mechanics.

1. Groundhog Day: the Video Game

2. Game Premise
• You wake up and begin to come to the slow
realization that you are being forced to repeat the
same day over and over. As time goes on and you
become more familiar with your situation you
discover the myriad ways in which you can affect
the world around you, and the consequences that
can arise. This game intently focuses on the
social, communicative, and personal
developments throughout the narrative such as
deceiving, manipulating, or helping others, unlike
traditional action/adventure games.

3. Game Play
• You are only allowed the time of a single day
within the game world, if the day ends or your
character dies you wake up back in the same
room exactly how it was before. This feature
prevents the player’s items and physical
progress to carry over between days,
emphasizing the accumulation of knowledge
and skills instead.

4. • As the player receives new knowledge and
data, and raises their skill levels they are able
to access more areas of world and character
dialogue. This game will allow the player to
experience the peculiar dynamics of the
Groundhog Day time loop.

5. • . The player can freely experience the world
and people in it, but is ultimately forced to
utilize their awareness & powers for ultimate
good in order to win.
