Cycle of Failure
"Cycle of Failure" is a dark puzzle game about making the right choices to avoid failing at your life over and over again.
Controls and info:
Move: "A" and "D"
Interact: "E" (There is no indicator for interactable objects.)
Choose Dialog-Options with your mouse
Warning:
Running around might trigger new monologs, which can(and most likely will) overwrite the current one.
Plot:
*Spoilers ahead*
(We highly recommend figuring out the main plot out by yourself!)
Live is hard, especially for the protagonist of "Cycle of Failure", but he has something we don't have... multiple chances! Failing at life, may it be by actually dying, losing his job or other rather unfortunate events, will cause the protagonist to be stuck in an infinite repetition of the day until he finds a way to avoid all the possible tragedies. The only question remaining: Is this a blessing and a curse?

This is a really awesome game, reminds me alot of groundhog day and I've allways wanted to play a game based on that movie! Figuring out what to do can be a bit hard, i didnt understand really what to do to affect it differently but im sure it's just something i missed. Best pixel art I've seen in the entire jam and really one of the games with the best visuals out of all of the submissions!
You guys should be really proud of making such a beautiful game! :D
Thank you very much.^^ We actually got the inspiration from an episode of the German series called "Tatort" but they probably got inspired by Groundhog day, so... whatever xD. About the difficulty: I think it's actually a bit too hard, at least as a first level, but because we were just able to finish day 1, we did not want people to win by accident.
Anyways, thank you very much for the nice feedback and we are happy you like it. :D
This is honestly just great. Thanks, guys.
