The harrowing reality of watching your own death in a time loop
You have planned a romantic evening with your wife. Great food and memories are expecting you for dinner. You have been busy at work for long, and finally, have the time and mind space to spend quality time with your wife. The evening has been going good so far, and you wish you are never taken away from your loving wife. Life seems great to you at the moment, and you wish nothing changes, ever. You are happy and blissful and want these moments etched in your memory forever. You don’t think that something bad could ever happen. And that is when the inevitable happens.
Someone is pounding at your front door, demanding to be let in. You do not understand who it could be at this hour of the night. You get up to check it out, and there is a police detective at your door. And then everything weird happens in under 12 minutes. The police detective comes barging into your house, accusing your wife of having murdered someone. Things start getting worse when the police detective starts beating and thrashing you. You try to save yourself, but the police detective is too strong for you to take on. The police detective eventually beats you to death.
Seems like weird gameplay, doesn’t it? You weren’t able to defend yourself, and you are dead now. What could you possibly do now? But that is where the thrill begins. You awaken to find yourself in the same moment right before the police detective beat you to death. Everything that led to your death a few minutes ago happens again. You keep dying and awakening, slowly realizing that you are stuck in a time loop. You relive the entire sequence of events that happened in the 12 minutes time span. And that is now the reality of your existence.
