‘Garbage Day’ Is Like ‘Groundhog Day’ But With Plenty Of Killing

Many film fans fondly remember “Groundhog Day” as a fun and unique movie starring veteran actor Bill Murray. The film focused on an individual who was stuck in a perpetual time loop where each consequence would mean nothing because the next day would reset everything he had done. Game designer Svajunas Zemaitis has decided to bring that concept into a video game, with buckets of blood and violence called “Garbage Day.”

Inspired by the Bill Murray classic but with a much more violent twist, “Garbage Day” allows players to do whatever they want for a whole day because they themselves are trapped in a perpetual time loop like in “Groundhog Day.” Of course, with this being a video game, there is much more freedom to do certain things, like killing innocent people and stealing cars, because none of it will matter when they’re brought back to life in the next day.

The game’s Steam Greenlight page says that there is indeed a point to all of this, as the main goal is for the player to escape this perpetual time loop. The goal is not as simple as being a better person like in “Groundhog Day,” though the developer has decided to not spoil the game’s intriguing premise just yet.

According to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, players are encouraged to explore their surroundings and find out how to escape this perpetual time loop. If the explorations gets a bit dull for the player, he or she can opt to kill as many people as they like, though they can also do some harmless activities, like eating cereal and conversing with neighbours.

The title “Garbage Day” seems to be a wink to fans of “Silent Night, Deadly Night 2,” which features the infamously hilarious line of a man shouting garbage day before killing someone. The scene can be seen here and is considered by many to be incredibly chuckle-worthy.

“Garbage Day” currently has no release date, though a trailer showcasing the game’s possibilities can be seen below. The game is currently number seven in Steam Greenlight and fans can still make the game happen.
