What is Garbage Day?
This single-player sandbox takes place in a suburban town where a nuclear plant accident traps you in a time loop. You explore, talk to residents, go to work, watch television, or attack people while searching for a way out. Death restarts the day, but knowledge from previous loops changes your dialogue choices.
For you if...
- +you prefer freeform experimentation over a guided campaign
Not for you if...
- −you want cooperative play or competitive multiplayer
