About
Restart Mode is a 2D psychological detective about a single day that keeps rewinding to the beginning. The city is frozen on one day. You try different routes, different words, different actions—until you find the ones that lead to another day. But remember: attempts aren’t infinite, and you’ll need to break the loop as soon as you can. No one knows what will happen if you can’t escape.
Key features:
An open world where you relive the same day;
Choices with consequences: your words and actions change access, dialogue, and events;
An interesting and exciting story;
Pixel art: immerse yourself in a stylish retro world.

[h1] Ура, я вырвался из петли [/h1] После вчерашней пьянки главный герой просыпается и идёт на работу в банк. Там его почему-то сразу увольняют, а на выходе его ждёт совсем неприятный сюрприз. Проснулся вновь – решил, что кошмар. А на работе его ждёт то же, что и раньше. Restart Mode – это очень короткая игра про временную петлю. У нашего героя несколько грешков за душой, так что придётся поискать причину попадания в петлю, бегая по небольшому городку, разговаривая с персонажами и используя найденные предметы. Городок совсем небольшой. Меньше десятка зданий, где можно побывать; меньше десятка персонажей, с которыми можно поболтать. Никаких выборов в диалогах нет, всё строго по сценарию. Новые фразы появляются только при повторных прохождениях дня, если игрок узнал что-то новое. Также по городу раскиданы четыре сундука с наличкой – она нужна для покупок квестовых предметов. И деньги, и предметы остаются с персонажем на следующие дни, если игрок не успел их использовать. Музыка в игре откровенно неплохая. А вот что раздражает, так что звуковое сопровождение, вшитое в движок. Конечно, можно заглушить в настройках. Другой недостаток – продолжительность. Игру можно растянуть максимум на 30-40 минут. Цена за такой продукт несколько завышена. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11769719/]Заглядывайте в группу кураторов, если понравился обзор. [/url]

[h3]День сурка на максималках[/h3] Играем за паренька, который застрял в повторяющемся мире на движке RPG Maker. Довольно интересное переосмысление жанра. Достижений к сожалению нет. [h3][b][url=store.steampowered.com/curator/31925504] Игровая аналитика от mkabatsky [/url][/b][/h3]
This is a curious case of Atomic Fabrik/GamesforGames/whatever other fake/shell account he's using now to try mislead gamers/evade his Steam ban getting ahold of someone else's garbage, in this case, an RPG Maker asset flip from Russia, and slapping his own name on it. We can only guess whether the game was acquired legally or stolen... we know from prior history this "developer" has no qualms about copyright/intellectual property theft, or fraudulently using fake reviews to mislead and scam gamers into buying fake games. Restart Mode is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. Notably the developer here couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make an RPG... and that's the only thing RPG Maker can do properly... except it's not even very good for making RPGs. Instead, we have an extremely poorly done Russian fan-fiction "adventure"... more visual novel/e-book than actual game, where you just wander around an asset flipped RPG Maker pixelcrap town and talk to NPCs. I wish I could be an NPC, sometimes. Atomic Fabrik have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.

At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was [b]only 3 players[/b], and the worst part is these weren't genuine players, these were the Russian fake review accounts that the developer paid to make the fake reviews. Since the fake reviews are all done, now the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 130,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. [quote][b][url=https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/federal-register-notices/16-cfr-part-465-trade-regulation-rule-use-consumer-reviews-testimonials-final-rule]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/b] This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian, broken English or ChatGPT AI slop, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR § 465.4, 15 U.S.C. § 45), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote] So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 140,000+ games on Steam? Restart Mode has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of $10 USD, and this high price for garbage is intended purely as a scam and to protect the fake reviews... these fake games are a cash hustle, after all, not sincerely intended to be real games. Avoid this.
Должен сказать, что мне нравится, когда сюжет завязывается в ограниченном времени и/или пространстве и при этом имеется множество возможностей, а не пустой открытый мир. Если бы меня посетил день сурка, то я бы, вероятно, постарался что-то изучить за эти дни, а лишь потом пытаться разгадывать загадку и выходить из повторяющегося дня. Впрочем, легко говорить об этом, если ты не сам в моменте. В общем, помогаем герою разгадать загадку и выпутаться из происходящих с ним событий, заодно изучая этот мир. Интересно…
Ура я выбрался из этой временной петли
A quest about a person who lives the same day over and over again until he figures out how to break the time loop. You need to help him stop a bank robbery and survive. To do this, you'll need to explore the city, talk to residents, and complete their tasks. Search the city and you'll find several chests containing money to purchase items needed to progress through the game. https://youtu.be/B0Q35ZwsHo0
Кабуто смог выйти из временной петли, а получится ли у нас?
An average game with pixelated graphics and a decent storyline. It's not embarrassing to play through; variety is a good thing. There are a couple of interesting moments, but I won't spoil them.
We're playing Groundhog Day, for a very stupid groundhog.
[b]Finally, a game based on Groundhog Day has been released![/b] Just like in the film, our hero will live the same day over and over again. But each time, we can gradually change the course of events. Interact with surrounding objects, talk to NPCs, and observe the result. Actually, I adore such chill games. The pleasant pixel graphics conveys a retro vibe, and the gradually developing story maintains intrigue throughout the entire playthrough.
