Day Repeat Day

A short, surprisingly deep narrative-driven match-3. Great for those who enjoy relaxing gameplay and a gripping story that reacts to your choices.

A slice of life story with a match 3 game on top to add more game. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is a somewhat short play through so it's a nice story to play through to end a night. One run through is about 4 hours, but there are enough little things here and there that you'll probably want to do a second run through. These games are a hit and miss for people, but if you like short slice of life things it's a nice ride for the price.

Really enjoyed this one! Got sent here by John Walker's Buried Treasures and wasn't disappointed.

Like Emily is Away, but for jobs under capitalism instead of old social media, and you do the job as match-3 game. Also some of the clients have janky Hypnospace-Outlaw-style websites you can visit. Decide how seriously to take your job for an increasingly hypercapitalist company. Do your best to support the people you care about, or don't, and see what happens. Very well thought out, well written, and heartfelt. Also there's janky Hypnospace-style websites and experimental film interludes.

Maybe there's a satisfying end to this, but I didn't care to see it despite the fact that I think I was getting close. This game encapsulates plenty of the existential dread we face in our own lives, but denies you all the niceties that make life worth living. Instead you play a Match 3 game. This isn't the only game out there that seems to want to you to feel bad for playing it, but I'm going to go ahead and take the hint on this one.

Artful game but very depressing, especially when the in-game AI boss gave me the exact same answer that I heard this week from one of my real-life coworkers and that I didn't like for good reasons.

Really enjoyed the story & choices you could make in this game. Lots of optional secrets to unlock for some bonus lore if you want to deep-drive into that as well. The match 3 gameplay is fairly easy, but they expand on it later on & it gets a little harder with a bit of randomness. It resets the board if there are no matches to be made & after a few seconds it highlights suggested matches.

i really enjoyed the game and its social commentary. the gameplay is simple, the story is compelling, and the music is beautiful. ironically, this was the first time i played a match 3 game, and i enjoyed that part too. i do also have some criticism. if you want to get to the heart of the story, you need to solve some intricate non-obvious puzzles. i couldn't do them on my own, so the basic story and the ending looked rather grim for me. i had to follow a guide to get to that final and crucial reveal and a hopeful ending. nonetheless, i do recommend checking out the game! i feel like it's a bit under underappreciated with only 30-something reviews... if you're here and are reading this, please consider this post a direct advice from me to you to check out the game :)
