How Was Your Day? Demo

Video game enthusiast and moody 13-year-old Diya’s day starts out rough. It’s the late 80s, and on top of the usual teenage angst—school, bullies, cliques, and annoying adults—Diya’s just moved to a new country, has no friends, and her once-close relationship with her brother is souring. Ugh! But when the only light in her life, her beloved dog Beans, vanishes without a trace, and she finds herself trapped in a mysterious time loop, Diya’s day goes from bad to worse.

Groundhog Day meets Stranger Things in this narrative-driven, point-and-click adventure that brings a supernatural twist to an ordinary teen’s life. Journey through Diya's repeating day, where every interaction could hold the key to breaking the loop and unlocking the truth about Beans' disappearance.

With her frustrating day stuck on repeat, ending with the same tired question from her parents—“How was your day?”—Diya realises that if she has any chance of saving Beans, she must break out of her comfort zone, confront her fears, use her knowledge of video games, and…gulp…talk to her parents, teacher, and neighbours! As she starts to open up and seek answers, Diya discovers that the residents of Lakeview are hiding secrets and a sinister presence shadows her every move.

Who, or what, is behind the time loop and Beans’ mysterious disappearance? Can Diya break free from the endless cycle and reunite with her faithful companion? And how does the festival of Diwali tie into the unfolding mystery?
